Let's be clear about something.... Trump has no policy except one: Cause chaos. Because when all is in chaos it's easy to steal. And BOY are he and his buddies stealing.

That's why the Iran "war" makes no sense. It's not supposed to. It's just a very expensive way to create a diversion so Trump and his pals can do whatever they want with the American tax dollars. And boy howdy, are they ever.

The Demented Orange Bastard (DOB) said last week that he's afraid of being the next Jimmy Carter as a result of the U.S. pilot shot down over Iran. And he well might be the new JC and he'll have only himself to blame. (BTW, Trump doesn't really care about his place in American history. He's only interested in how much he can wring out the Treasury before he eventually fakes a serious illness and flees the country.)

The thing that doomed Carter's presidency was not the failure to rescue the U.S. citizens held as hostages by the Iranian revolutionaries, it was the grim and persistent stagflation caused by the oil crisis of 1973.

By all accounts, we're heading into stagflation again as a result of the DOB's new hobby as Death Incarnate. It won't effect his run for the presidency because he can't run for the presidency again but the looming economic armageddon is surrrrre going to leave the future Democratic president an atomic hot-potato. Worse even than the one Dubya left for Obama or DOB left for Biden. (Planned hot potatoes, BTW.)

Which means if I know my idiot American voters, and I do, in 2032 another populist posing as a Republican will arrive on the scene promising more than the piece of chicken, bit of broccoli and a tortilla that the Democratic president provided them and these dumb voting-age f*cks will grab their new equivalent of the red hat and rush to the polls to install their new savior behind the Resolute desk for another round of "Now you see your tax dollars, now you don't."
