What was Trump up to.  Maybe looking at what he did before gives the answer.




It was a page out of the Trump playbook.  A Trump knee-jerk reaction on how he gets his way.  And as much as some people talk about how dumb Trump is I have to point out.  Trump just played America and the entire American Media with files of archives and people familiar with Trump's past said nothing.

It appears America's social amnesia is now terminal.

QuoteNow North Korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles threatens the entire world with unthinkable loss of human life, -- The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself.

After threatening "total destruction," Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to meet a North Korean leader. The joint declaration was heavy on symbolism and light on substance! Regardless we paid taxes that year.  But for Trump, who paid no taxes that year it was a historic photo op with claims of a diplomatic breakthrough.  In the end North Korea gained legitimacy on the world stage without giving up any nuclear weapons.

Trump's genius is not intelligence. It's only his instinctive reptilian repetition of what works, Trump counts on everyone else having the attention span of a goldfish.  Trump makes the same move, over and over, until his pattern becomes invisible and familiar, even comfortable. That's Trump's trick.

Hard to see how it's a success when Iran gets pretty much everything they want.

The US will not agree with the 10 points.  Trump buys time so he never has to say why the Tripoli had to get out of range.







It is bluster, and very expensive.

Trump said he was holding off on his threatened attacks on Iranian bridges, power plants and other civilian targets, subject to Tehran agreeing to a two-week ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway through which a fifth of the world's oil is shipped during peacetime. He also said Iran has proposed a "workable" 10-point peace plan that could help end the war launched by the U.S. and Israel in February.


Well this should take the pressure off for a bit.  I wonder how long the Israelis can go without killing anybody?

Hello kitty.

VP Vance goes to Hungary to help Orbán win his election.


Showing love to Orbán in the middle of a military conflict.  Is this America first?

If Trump follows through on his threats, the Gulf States are who will suffer.  If someone has a coupon we sure need to use it.  Trump will see the Gulf States burn.  The trapped animal must be stopped. 


Please.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) wrote on X.  Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) said the 25th Amendment "exists for a reason."  "The President of the United States is a deranged lunatic, and a national security threat to our country and the rest of the world," she said on X.

No need for High Crimes & Misdemeanors anymore.  25th Ammendment.  He can be impeached just for being unfit for office as clinically insane.  I'm sure 99 out of 100 psychiatrists would classify him as a Sociopathic Narcissist & Megalomaniac.  Throw in Misogynist & Pedophile for bonus points.

Once out of office, he can be turned over to the World Court to be tried for War Crimes.
