Global mayhem comes for Trump
Donald Trump promised a safer and saner world while running for president last year. The world hasn’t cooperated.
Trump famously said he could end the Russia-Ukraine war in a day, yet the war rages on with no end in sight. He also vowed to end the bloodshed in Gaza, where Israel is trying to eradicate the Hamas terrorist group. Instead, that conflict has escalated into an all-out war between Israel and Iran, Hamas’s godfather, that could metastasize into the most tumultuous development in the Middle East since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Trump’s campaign bluster was silly, but now he faces the sort of complex predicament that can make or break presidents. Israel’s attack on Iran comes as the Islamic theocracy appears to be on the threshold of developing nuclear weapons. Israel directly targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities in its opening salvo on June 13, along with other military targets. It also assassinated several leaders involved with Iran’s military and nuclear program.
Oil prices jumped, as they usually do when hostilities erupt in the Middle East. That may subside, given that Israel isn’t targeting Iranian oil facilities. But this Middle East war could get a lot worse and reverberate far from the region in ways that Trump’s untested foreign policy team may fail to appreciate.

We know what Trump's response(s) will be to these international crises.
Blame Biden and the Democrats.
