How much clearer could it be that president donald j. felon* doesn’t give a rat’s patootie about the American public?
Time magazine published an article Thursday detailing the lead up to and execution of the president’s war in Iran.
When asked whether citizens of the United States should worried about Iran retaliating in this country, the elderly golfer’s answer was simply, “I guess.”

The grifter-in-chief then said that that is something that is worried about all the time and planned for all the time.
However he added, “But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war some people will die.”
Wait, what happened to “major combat operations” that, by the way, are costing taxpayers $1 billion a day?
Just last month, in his extremely long State of the Union address, which may very well still be going on right now, the adjudicated rapist made a big deal about the drop in gas prices.
He also touted low gas prices at a rally that was held in Texas that focused on energy just hours before we started bombing Iran Saturday, Reuters reported.
Now, as gasoline prices grow every day, the climbing price of fuel is no biggie — at least to him.
“I don’t have any concern about it,” he replied when asked about the jump in prices at the pump. “They’ll drop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit.”
Sez the man who gets ushered around in armored vehicles wherever he goes.
According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has gone up 34 cents from a week ago and 42 cents from a month ago.
And just how long are we supposed to be OK with rising gas prices and Iran retaliating on U.S. soil?
Of course, there’s no way to know in times of war “major combat operations.” That’s the nature of war “major combat operations.”
But until today the “leader of the free world” has presented us with no clear and consistent rationale for bombing Iran and no exit strategy.
On social media Friday, he posted that he will accept nothing except “unconditional surrender” from Iran, after which we and our allies — if we have any left by that time — will rebuild the country, making it bigger, better and stronger.
OMG, he even came up with a slogan for Iran’s new acceptable leader(s) to adopt: Make Iran Great Again.
Remind me how it’s going for making America great again.
I find it interesting that the orange makeup man waited until he got Congress to vote against the War Powers Act — by slim margins — before he unleashed his “unconditional surrender” blather.
For someone who ran on being the peace president and said time and time again that Kamala Harris would start World War III if she were elected president, the mayor of Mar-a-Lago continues to show that he cannot and should not be trusted with our lives.
But we knew that during COVID, didn’t we?

Just for grins, anyone can see how much the war “major combat operations” are estimated to cost by looking at the Iran War Cost Tracker website.
FYI, Politico is reporting that some GOPmaga lawmakers are hearing that the Pentagon is shelling out as much as $2 billion a day on the Iran war.

And for those on the TV machine who speak the name of her replacement as “Mark Wayne Mullin” need to be reminded to say his first name as “Markwayne” as quickly as possible, thereby making it sound as stupid as he really is.
