    Can you say "completely off the deep end?" On Truth Social this morning:

    Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

      Trying to negotiate with a fanatical terrorist regime who murders tens of thousands of its people for the slightest protest and with any excuse, has, quelle surprise, proved fruitless. What to do?

      Trumps actions are usually unexpected so who can predict what will actually happen on Tuesday?

        Somehow yelling and swearing at them doesn't seem like it would be very effective. Especially, according to him, after we've already obliterated them.

        It's just a bit disconcerting to have a world leader having a temper tantrum(p) like a five year old...he's sounding desperate.

        As you say, he often does unexpected things. And he hates being thought of as a loser. I just hope he doesn't do something monumentally stupid.

          Trumpy certainly makes daily life interesting for the first world. But reaching our age we know the fleeting nature of politics and the far more important things to us in our own lives.

          Expressed for example by Keats in a personal thought:

          How can I, that girl standing there,
          My attention fix
          On Roman or on Russian
          Or on Spanish politics?
          Yet here’s a travelled man that knows
          What he talks about,
          And there’s a politician
          That has both read and thought,
          And maybe what they say is true
          Of war and war’s alarms,
          But O that I were young again
          And held her in my arms!

          Ventosa viri restabit
