Listening to President Trump on his Iran war achievements brought to mind the ravings of Hitler hunkered down in his Berlin bunker as the Soviets closed in. He demanded his generals move imaginary armies to crush the invaders to stave off defeat and achieve victory.
Trump lost his war on Iran in the first week when the 90 million Iranians did not overthrow their Islamic government in capitulation to the US/Israeli attackers. Dropping thousands of bombs on them had the opposite effect… they coalesced around their leaders to support a ferocious counteroffensive. US bases in the region are being decimated along with Israel from an endless supply of missiles and drones stockpiled for years in preparation for inevitable criminal war from America and Israel.
Trump declared on 25 Tuesday, “We’ve won this. This war has been won.” He also said Iranian leaders have given him “a very significant prize” related to the Strait of Hormuz. Speculation is that Iran’s ‘prize’ was simply letting one Iraqi oil tanker pass thru the closed Strait of Hormuz. But that rumor Trump trumpeted has not been confirmed and likely never occurred. A third bizarre Trump statement is that Iran called him to negotiate the war’s end… presumably on Trump’s terms.
One has to go back 81 years to Hitler’s Berlin bunker ravings to hear such delusional statements from a world leader trying to imagine away his loss in a war only an unhinged leader would have started.
Where is the 25th Amendment when we desperately need it?

Winners or losers, does it really matter? Trump has damaged our world to the point that denies recovery, international trust, while always weak, is now nonexistent.
And like Hitler the Orange Emperor keeps flailing and has to drift into his fantasy lands of ballrooms, monuments and other petty nonsense when things turn against him to make himself feel better. He simply can’t handle reality.
Another Donnie fantasy:

Another twelve months and he’ll be permanently living in his happy little Trumpyverse.
