Among the most prominent and recognizable character flaws of Donald Trump is the notorious tenderness of his fragile feelings. His emotional stability has long been observed by psychiatric professionals who have written books about it, such as “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.”

These flaws have never been more apparent than in Trump’s current declaration of war against Iran. It’s a war of choice for which he failed to get the constitutionally required consent of Congress, and for which he has conspicuously avoided providing any rational justification to the American people. To the contrary, he has offered up some weak and factually baseless assertations of Iran posing an “imminent threat.”

But that’s not all. Trump also suggested that he was motivated by a bizarre personal vengeance for what he believes were attempts by Iran to interfere with the 2020 presidential election. For the record, the only evidence to support that claim points to Iran and Russia interfering to help, not harm, Trump’s electoral prospects.

On Monday morning Trump added another conspiracy to the theoretical stew. During a press conference that he held ostensibly to give the American people his reasons for starting another war in the Middle East, Trump dropped this bombshell…

“I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by president Barack Hussein Obama. That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document. They would have had nuclear weapons three years ago. And they would have used them.”

So now Trump’s motivation can be simply described as Obama Envy. Or perhaps OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder). It’s an acute malady that Trump has been suffering from for years.

Trump’s fixation on blaming Obama for everything is nothing new. And it’s always ridiculous in the extreme. However, in this matter he goes totally off the charts. What Trump is saying that he is proud of is that he tore up an agreement that the Obama administration had signed with Iran to end their nuclear aspirations. Iran was keeping in complete compliance with the agreement according to the independent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). That is, until Trump ditched it.

Then Trump, the alleged author of “The Art of the Deal,” failed to make another deal, resulting in his decision to call out the Air Force to begin the bombing missions that have already killed hundreds of innocent Iranians and lost three American fighter jets.

Trump’s claim that Iran “would have had nuclear weapons three years ago. And they would have used them,” is a complete fabrication from his severely impaired cartoon brain. And it’s remarkable that anyone would take his babbling seriously, considering he’s the same guy who repeatedly – and incorrectly – predicted that Obama was going to start a war with Iran.

ACCORDING TO TRUMP: He predicted that President Obama would start a war with Iran…? To show how tough he is.? To get elected.? Because he couldn't negotiate.FOR THE RECORD: Obama never started a war with Iran. Instead, he got Iran to agree to end their nuclear weapons programs.

The only truth in these comments by Trump is that they expose his manic and relentless preoccupation with Obama. It’s fair to assume that this played a part in his wartime decision making. Along with his need to deflect from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and his hopes of juicing his historically abysmal polls, and perhaps as a predicate for his interfering with the upcoming midterm elections.

The one thing we can be certain of, is that it has nothing to do with any realistic threat from Iran. And a majority of the American people oppose his war mongering: “Overall, 59% of Americans disapprove of the initial decision to strike Iran, with 41% approving.” In short, Trump is by far the more imminent threat to America.
