Donald Trump ran for president on being an isolationist, America first, candidate. He promised his cult members and all those who were gullible enough to vote for him that he would end all the wars in the world within twenty-four hours of being elected into office.
Now, here we are, months into his presidency, and the wars have not ended, and thanks to his ego and narcissism (I will explain more in the next paragraph), America might have just involved herself in the mother of all wars. Mr. Trump dropped three bombs on Iran last night, and he did it without congressional approval, and with the advice from a foreign policy team that is quite frankly a joke. But here we are. Now MAGA world will try to scramble and invoke pretzel logic to justify it, and the elected sycophants who bow to his every whim will do the same.
But here is the scary part as I teased above. This bombing of Iran only happened because Mr. Trump was told by the Israelis that it was the Iranians who tried to assassinate him. Smart move on their part. They made it all about him. They appealed to his ego and sick narcissistic streak, and they knew that once it became about him, he would act. They were right.
Americans are now on edge, because we know that Iran has groups of proxy terrorists all over the world, and that they could strike at any time. (They spent sixteen billion dollars between 2012 and 2016 supporting terrorist partners.) I'm pretty sure they were not pleased with Mr. Trump's actions. He thinks this is all theater or some kind of game show. It's not. As they say in the streets: "This is not a game". People will die, and I fear that the worst is yet to come.
