Trump's FIRM, INSPIRATIONAL, PATRIOTIC commitment to his Iran war: "I guess we did the right thing."

Trump: "We left the pipes. We didn't want to do that, but we will do that, we can do that on 5 minutes' notice. It will be over. But for the purposes of someday rebuilding that country I guess we did the right thing. But it may not stay that way. Just one simple word and the pipes will be gone too."

Trump has completely cathected on this threat: he thinks it is the one that will move the needle. "I can and will on a single word destroy the Kharg Island oil port!"

He has dementia - I'm sure of it. My experience with caring for elderly people with people w/dementia tells me he is losing it. My Dad - my dad could fool people but he would get so angry, so irrational, so unpredictable. It was a slow degeneration but he became a danger to himself and others.
