Giving Trump the Power of the US Presidency Has Been a Tragic Mistake for America

This was a Drumpf social media post on Iran from a month ago:

 


 

This was Drumpf on Iran two days ago:

 


 

Clearly Drumpf didn't smite the entire Iranian "civilization" after his 8pm deadline passed like a fart in the wind last night.

So then, what is the state of affairs between Drumpf and Iran as of today?

DonOld regaled us with a big announcement of a two-week (of course, right?) ceasefire "deal," which if it's like every other "deal" that Bibi Netanyahu or DonOld Trump have ever been involved in, it will be a corrupt, one-sided, valueless deal, and a quickly rejected or abandoned deal.

But let's roll the tape shall we, and let Drumpf's charlatan press secretary Karoline Leavitt answer that question - or not?:

So essentially what happened was that Mr. 'Art of the Deal' Drumpf struck a big, 'yooge "deal" to reopen a world strategic shipping channel that had been open freely to the world before Bibi and Don launched their Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.

And with DonOld's "deal" Iran gets to not only maintain unilateral control over the Strait of Hormuz, they get to start charging $2 million a ship as a passage fee.  And when you add up the numbers based on the fact that 200-300 ships pass thru that channel every day, it adds up to around $150 billion a year in fresh revenue for the Iranian government which will no doubt be used by Iran to rebuild their government and military infrastructure that has been leveled by US and Israeli bombs.

Drumpf and Netanyahu's bombing campaign has killed thousands of Iranian civilians, including a couple of hundred innocent schoolgirls.  

Israel has expanded their genocidal rage to Lebanon.

A dozen and a half US troops are dead and purportedly up to 700 wounded.

An untold number of physical US military assets in the theater have been destroyed by Iranian missiles and drones, and US ammunition stocks have been depleted.

Hundreds of billions of your American taxpayer dollars have been spent on this boondoggle and it isn't anywhere near over.  Dumbass DonOld got himself involved in a situation way beyond his and his moron administration's ability to manage and now we get to sit back and watch Iran become the Kingpins of world trade as America's prestige, honor, and economic might wither. 

Here in the US, gas prices are steadily rising, food and other costs are going up, jobs reports are gloomy, and a global economic recession is predicted if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for anything more than a couple of more weeks.  

For anyone who cares - a global economic recession equates to destroyed American 401k's, lost homes, farms, small businesses, layoffs, long lasting higher gas prices, long lasting inflation, and a general, further degradation of what remains of the tattered 'American Dream.'

So yeah - helluva "deal" DonOld made there after his poor judgment and decision making allowed Bibi Netanyahu to bait him into this stupid, pointless war.

Drumpf and MAGA are going to essentially destroy the future economic vitality of an entire generation of Americans with their stupidity, and we haven't even begun to see the worst of the effects impact us yet from this Iranian war buffoonery.

We can begin to put an end to this madness though folks, and that is done by showing up to vote.  And when you step in that voting booth, even if you have to pinch your nose while doing so, vote for any candidate other than a Republican.  Boot the corrupt, morally bankrupt GOP from power - permanently.  That is how we start repairing the harm and carnage left behind from the assholery of the Drumpf/MAGA governing era.
