Ugh, I'm sick of these headlines that suggest he is a fool.
You're the fool if you fell for it.
Trump made a ton of money off of this war for him, his family, and the military industrial complex. He's going to keep doing it until we make him suffer.
Trump doesn't care about the interest of the US or the people in any of the countries involved in this war. He only cares about how much money he can pilfer during his presidency. And, unfortunately, he's doing very well at that.
Writing articles suggesting that he's lost is bad. It's feel good journalism, but it's not the truth. We need to actually make him lose, or he's going to keep stealing our money and lives for future bullshit wars to enrich himself.
It's possible to be corrupt yet still a fool.
Man is a corrupt fool and idiot. Yes he made money off this and was part of the intention, but he was stupid in thinking it'd be a case of dropping some bombs and killing brown people that would make him popular again. A fool for not knowing or understanding the economic crisis this would cause. And ultimately, end of the day, he doesn't care about anything else but himself and how people view him.
This is it. He knows his popularity is in bad trouble, and he trying to stop the bleeding. He's phenomenally ignorant and Sociopathic, so he believes that everyone thinks just like he does. So if he starts a war, everybody will rally behind him. And if he WINS it, then he'll be a hero forever.
He doesn't understand that EVERYBODY sees right through him, and not only knows exactly why he's doing it (to create adulation), but knows he will screw it up phenomenally, in a world class way that only Trump can do.
And even if he wins, we'd STILL all hate him. He doesn't understand that nobody is ever coming back to his side, if they were ever there in the first place. We don't hate him for the war - well, we do - but we hate him for ALL the stuff that has gone on before. The war was just one more thing, on top of the already enormous pile. Actually winning the war doesn't militgate any of the other treason, racism, pedophilia, rape, stupidity, violence, etc. that he's already committed.
Again, you're the fool.
Trunp literally does not care about anything else other than making money. He's not a fool. He played us and won. And apparently he fooled the media too.
He can be MANY things. But hey, continue to insult people, that'll get you far I'm for certain.
