Mentally degraded, war criminal Trump must leave office to end Iran war, reopen Hormuz Strait, save world economy
One hundred thirty-five days ago mentally degraded war criminal President Trump committed the worst military blunder in America’s 250 years. He launched a criminal war at the behest of tiny Israel against Iran posing no threat whatsoever to America. He killed thousands of innocent Iranians including over 150 kids at a school on the war’s fist day. Trump and his war criminal Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blamed Iran claiming only Iran was dumb enough to bomb their own people.
But Iran was smart and prepared for Trump’s criminal war. They retaliated by largely destroying all US Gulf State bases and inflicting massive damage in Israel. Trump surrendered by begging for a ceasefire which he called victory even tho the ceasefire was entirely on Iran’s terms. In the 96 days since surrendering, Trump has violated the ceasefire repeatedly, imposed a failed blockade, bombed Iran, received retaliatory Iranian bombings on US bases, and done nothing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz which continues to risk world wide recession, possibly depression.
Trump swings manically from praising Iranian leaders who he claims are ready to settle on his terms to condemning them as “scum” who he will destroy along with their 91 million subjects. All this was on display at the NATO summit in Ankara Turkey where, when not mistaking Iran for Japan or falling asleep, he fumed NATO refused to help him in his failed criminal war.
While the world economy careens toward collapse, Trump remains more focused on desecrating the White House with his despicable ballroom, despoiling the reflecting pool, and conspiring how to rig the upcoming midterms that will cost him the Congress unless he can overturn the will of the people.
Unless the Republican Party, the Cabinet, indeed, Trump’s family hold an intervention to remove him from office and get medical help for his obviously declining mental health, there will be no end to the Iran war. There will be no end to the death and destruction. Worst of all there will be no end to the impending trainwreck of the world economy, including that of the largest right here in the Homeland.

Trump should swing and not to Benny Goodman. Or fry, drain, sink, be holed. He is the ugliest, dumbest, foul freak of criminality going…add the supporting gang.
Emperor Donnie will not leave office even if, and that’s a big IF, he gets the boot at the next election. His ego won’t let him go back to being just plain old Trump again. Plus the loss of untold millions of dollars from the end of the rampant corruption, dirty deals and grifting would be a massive blow to his bank accounts would be more devastating to him than losing the presidency.
The’medical help’ I envisage is an ounce of lead delivered at 2000 feet per second,from point blank.Can’t afford any more mistakes.
However, the messaging and talking points locally by many left, ALP and indie media entailed joining their American friends in shouting at Biden, Harris & the Dems, in ’24 blaming them and the ALP for Russia’s invasion vs provocative Ukraine, US and NATO, then also Gaza post October 7?
Gifted a free pass to Trump in ’24 suppressing Dems vote, and eg locally centre left being sucked in by US faux anti-imperialist tankie grifters* on Ukraine, and the Koch Heritage Evangelicals Project Esther October 7 vs Palestine, centre/Dems and universities.
Well done glib and shallow Anglosphere being astroturfed too easily by the right, now regretting Trump or pretending to never agree?
*One tankie onshore deleted their anti-Ukraine Tweets (but still indexed on Google) once Trump was elected and still informs some indie media on MidEast, which frames Ukraine & Russia out of the picture, running protection for the Kremlin and Tone’s former ecosystem in Hungary…..
You KNOW that’s never going to happen, don’t you? Trump has no interest whatsoever in stabilising the World economy, and the only reason he wants the war with Iran over and the Strait of Hormuz reopened is because it will look good for him if it happens.
He can lie about “winning” a war he has comprehensively lost and claim credit for reducing gas prices that were stable until he and Bibi started all this.
There are only two ways Trump will ever leave Office; in hand-cuffs or feet first.
What is wrong with the correspondents here?
Trump is not the problem, Capitalism is, the Western world bows to Trump!! Why? Because of the “almighty” dollar, the US dollar controls most, if not all the world.
This is all reminiscent of the days of yore, those in the workhouse did not like the gruel, but it was all they had to eat. The USA has been feeding Capitalism for so long, the West would die without it’s support.
Don’t like Trump? Do something about it.
@ Harry Lime: You mean a projectile that could cause real blood flow rather than a splash of tomato sauce??
American voters followed the instructions created by the Billionaire’s Club and now cannot, or will not, recognise their self-inflicted wounds.
Every thing TACO Trumpery touches turns to manure.
@jonangel: Agreed. What we are seeing & experiencing is the zenith of Capitalism; where the greedy few get control of government authority and resources to expend at their own will against whatever targets they desire ….. and screw everybody else.
Indeed, it would be reasonable to conclude that the TACO Trumpery Model of US government should have been expected in the past.
Where to now Cocky? We’re cornered.Looking forward to the next life,and we can be certain the orange tosser won’t be back….ever.
