Less than 48 hours after Donald Trump launched the United States into a new war in the Middle East, something he vowed not to do when he was running to reoccupy the White House, there is nothing but chaos and turmoil resulting from his reckless, illegal, and utterly unjustified act of war against Iran. It was a decision that was so profoundly lacking in purpose that even Trump was opposed to it (See the SNL video below).

In the after math of Trump’s warmongering adventurism, he sought to engage in some of his typical chest-thumping, self-exaltation. It isn’t enough for a malignant narcissist like Trump to strut around making bogus claims about how magnificent he thinks he is. He must also manufacture PR to exaggerate the details of his alleged accomplishments.

And so it is with regard to Trump’s war on Iran. In an attempt to portray himself as engaged and actively monitoring the U.S. mission that Trump’s Department of “War” calls “Epic Fury” (AKA “Epstein Fury“ as it serves as a deflection from Trump’s exploits with the notorious child sex trafficker), Trump’s White House tweeted a photo of him with his ersatz National Security team looking serious as they watched the progress of American troops deploying to Iran.

While the intent of this tweet was to cast Trump in the glow of a military hero, it actually revealed something much worse…

Trump's White House posted this photo of himself monitoring his attack on Iran – from Mar-a-Lago in an insecure room with curtain walls.Because he doesn't give a f**k about national security. A competent president would only hold this meeting in the WH Situation Room or a SCIF.

We can see in this photo that Trump didn’t think that it was necessary to return to the White House as he embarked on his wartime gaming. Rather, he remained at his luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach Florida, to playact as Commander-in-Chief. We can also see that he is in a room with curtains for walls, with all of the electronic devices exposed. This is a serious breach of security protocols.

This meeting ought to have taken place in the White House Situation room, or at least some other Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) that is designed to prevent unauthorized access, eavesdropping, and electronic surveillance. But those are inconveniences that Trump can’t be bothered with when he’s trying to pump up his grossly faltering public image. Never mind the potential for leaking confidential plans and analyses.

What’s more, Trump is bragging about his success in terminating the Ayatollah Khamenei, But that is a double-edged sword. Yes, Khamenei was a brutal tyrant and a sponsor of terrorism that the world is well rid of. But the assassination of foreign leaders is a violation of international law and specifically prohibited under the United Nations Charter. So Trump has not only broken the law (again), he is setting a precedent for offing heads of state that he may come to personally regret.

Further fluffing his supposed achievements, Trump is now saying that Iranian leaders “want to talk.” But Iran’s Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, the man expected to replace Khamenei, is vowing retribution against the “shameless Americans.” Which doesn’t sound much like talking.

For some perspective on Trump’s views regarding starting a war with Iran, see this clip from Saturday Night Live where Colin Jost catches the extreme hypocrisy of Trump in his own own words…
