Trump Is 'Bored' With the War He Started

He wants out, but Iran could likely keep going for months.

I love a good road trip, but this is brutally out of touch: a Trump Cabinet member making a documentary about himself while regular families can't afford road trips anymore, because Trump and his war put gas prices through the roof.

Narcissists always get bored with, and want to quit, things they do that don't go well.

This is usually accompanied by statements blaming others for the boredom and the not going well.

Xi will be feeling pretty confident next week when the guy who lost Trump's War shows up in Beijing and tries blowing some of his pathetic "I have all the cards" smoke.

Two points to toss into the hopper:

(1). Trump, former "reality" show compere, is a short attention span, mentally ill, six-times bankrupt who repeatedly demonstrates he is incapable of managing even a gambling den.

(2). Iran's foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, scion of a family of prosperous Isfahan rug merchants, has a book out - The Power of Negotiation: Principles and Rules of Political and Diplomatic Negotiations. I have not read Araghchi's treatise and it's entirely possible nobody in the White House has, either. But, reaching across the aisle here, perhaps someone should.

The bloated sack of---------- finds the slaughter of 175 Iranian schoolgirls tedious.

Trump is a man clearly in the grip of delusion, immersed in his own inner turmoil and memories. Reality, now that is not allowed in such a brain, nor is caring for the poor and powerless, especially if they are not engaged in bending a knee and genuflecting to the same delusions that he is.

Thank god that he was not president in 1942. We'd all be speaking German now.

So, they're using UFOs to distract us from the Epstein files.

Isn't that technically Alien vs. Predator?
