Trump's New War, Day 4 - Shambolic Shitshow
Simon Rosenberg
As I discussed with Rep. Adam Smith last night, and wrote about yesterday, it’s pretty clear now Trump just winged this war. They’ve struggled to articulate a strategy or objective these past few days for they can’t admit the real reason why America just launched a major war in the Middle East - because the big blubbery baby man wanted to. That’s it. That’s the reason. Yeah Bibi and MBS pushed him, perhaps Vance too, but our addled, ailing, Mad Leader made the call. He wanted a war and so now we have one. A big one.
He wanted the war because things are not going well for him here at home. His economic program has failed; the Epstein scandal has become an existential threat; the country has turned on ICE and Millerism; his poll numbers suck and Rs keep losing elections all over the country, even in red states and districts; the Supreme Court has now ruled against his deployment of the National Guard and his tariffs; lower courts keep delivering brutal blows to manic overreach, causing embarrassing retreats of all kinds; with his health declining it’s possible he knows he’s nearing his final lap and wants to make sure he leaves his mark; and he just likes feeling STRONG and MIGHTY, and his military is BIGGER and BADDER than everyone one else’s, and can do all these cool things. Yes, finally, after all these years, his is really BIG.
And so here we are, and it just isn’t clear that Trump is aware of what’s happening now, or ever understood what was likely to happen once he launched his new war. In interviews yesterday he repeatedly referred to the Maduro raid as a template. Really? Starting a regional war in the Middle East is like snatching a foreign leader of a nearby failed state who had been sold out by his own regime? In and out, easy peasy? That’s what he thought was going to happen?
In his CNN interview Trump said he was surprised that Iran was attacking countries in the region, and widening the war
