The catastrophes that have defined the reoccupation of the White House by Donald Trump are numerous and persistent. They include the ongoing war in Iran that is in its seventh month, despite Trump promising it would only last a few days or weeks; the inflationary affects of his idiotic tariffs; the loss of the respect of our international allies; the wasteful costs of his vanity projects; and the hostilities toward the free press and the Constitution.

The cumulative impact of all of this has been to drive Trump’s approval ratings into record low territory. And with him in that decline are his Republican confederates. Their electoral condition is so dire that they are holding an unprecedented midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. But even that is shaping up to be another Trump-built massive failure…

On his way to Dallas, Trump stopped for another one his “chopper talks” where provides incoherent non-responses to questions, while insulting reporters. On this occasion Trump was asked a couple of questions that have been weighing on the minds of America’s voters. Let’s begin with an inquiry about his reckless and illegal war against Iran. Trump was asked when he thought it would end. He replied that…
“I think the war’s going to end immediately after the election because they can’t hold out any longer. They’re desperate to try and affect the election so that we can get a nice, weak group of people in there and leave them alone, and let them have their nuclear weapon.”
That was quickly followed up with a question about when he thought the high prices for gasoline would subside. He said it would be…
“Shortly, right after the election – because they’d like to have it that way – but right after the election oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. They’re gonna be tumbling down, and I think for gasoline we’re gonna get them below $2.00 a gallon think it’s going to take a little bit longer than the midterms.”
The common thread that ran through both of those answers is that these problems – both of which Trump created in the first place – would be over after the midterm elections in November. However, there are a couple of problems with those answers.
First of all the midterm elections are still two months away. That means that the war that was supposed to be over in March is going to continue at least until November. And the same goes for the elevated gas prices that are crushing the budgets of American consumers, that Trump also said wouldn’t last very long. And if they did it was okay because he didn’t mind paying more to defeat Iran, which wasn’t a problem until he ripped up the prior agreement with them.
Secondly, by declaring that these problems would be over after the election Trump is trying to convince voters that they shouldn’t be bothered with the burdens that he is imposing on them. Because at some time in the future they will magically disappear just because he says so. Therefore, he wants them to vote for his GOP comrades despite the facts that the economy sucks, and the war rages on, and everything else that Trump has wrecked is still screwed up. Just STFU and vote for MAGA and your dreams will come true. But not until after the election!?!
It’s ironic that Trump is accusing Iran of being “desperate to try and affect the election.” Which is exactly what Trump is trying to do with these comments. What’s more, Trump is also desperately trying to affect the elections with his efforts to obstruct voting, and gerrymandering of districts, and interjecting the federal government into elections that are the jurisdiction of the states according to the Constitution.
Clearly the desperate party here is Trump. And his whining and tantrums just make that all the more obvious. Trump wants people to have blind faith that he will resolve all of their problems by waving his magic wand. But that pitch isn’t even fooling all of his MAGA-tist disciples anymore. Now, with Trump’s declaration that our problems won’t be fixed until after the elections, November – more than ever – can’t come soon enough.

Fox Nation vs. Reality:
The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.Thanks so much for your support.
Hopefully he has not said he will not use nukes. If he did I would panic.
I thought I smelled some Deja PÜ!
It’s a rehash of his, “On Day One” diahrhetoric (thank you for that gem).
What concerns me is the mental Munchausen syndrome that Dementia DonOLD shows when he repeats his small tales so often that he may be believing his lies are actually true. For example: his tales of his (stolen) glory on 9/11 and being “exonerated” — which DOES NOT mean “not guilty” — of aiding & abetting his best friend’s sex trafficking ring for rich pedophiles!
But, it’s the Munchausen BY PROXY of his delusional dodos that is truly TERRIFYING. It’s like something out of a propagandist playbook from Joseph Goebbels. To paraphrase ‘Eric Cartman’, it’s not LIKE Joseph Goebbels — it IS Joseph Goebbels!
When one of the cultists was asked, “Is there a crime that trump could commit that would make you stop supporting him?” His answer was chilling. “No.” This leaves all reality based human beings in a situation where the ONLY solution is the total eradication of trump and ALL of his enablers, which includes his brain atrophied mm indoctrinated supporters.
After 9/11/2001, a friend of mine told me about a prediction in The Torah. It predicted that the END would come after the 30 year war — that will be started after “the destruction of the TWINS”.
Considering how Saudi Arabia funded 9/11 and now, Trump has given his satanic majesty’s blessing for the Saudis to have nuclear weapons, it seems like that prediction may be coming true. If so, we have 5 years ~ that’s all we’ve got.
When you have people who say that people who don’t believe that G-D was “Christian” are not true Christians, it’s like saying that I gave birth to my mother. If Christianity was created by Jesus, then how could G-D have been a Christian? I’ve heard other blasphemous drivel from so-called Christians, such as that, as Jewish people were escaping slavery in Egypt, they ate Christian babies for sustenance. WOW — Talk about ordering ahead of time! Although booking ahead 3,500+ years is a bit pointless.
It’s all about the WILLINGNESS that hateful hypocrites have to believe the BLATANT lies being told to them based on their gullibility and stupidity.
Like every time I hear people automatically ASSuming that ALL Jewish people are supporters of Israel. That’s a half truth. Most Jewish people support THE LIBERAL PEOPLE of Israel ~ just like they support the LIBERAL PEOPLE of the United States of America and every other democracy. This does NOT mean they support the LEADERS of Israel or their actions — just like they don’t support the FASCIST AGENDA of MAGA (the 21st Century’s NAZI Party) in America.
The pathetic fact that people are STILL so willing to believe that Judaism is the only religion that determines a person’s nationality and their political affiliation is PROOF that the evolution of intellectualism (processes of thought) has ENDED.
Naturally, I sincerely hope that the end doesn’t happen — even though heretics like BJ Vance believe it’s his rapturous dream (leaving out the part where the “Christians” murder Jesus because he wasn’t white or wouldn’t pledge fealty to himself)!
Sounds like a fun few years ahead?!?!
When truth becomes what the fools say is the truth and they refuse to do any fact checks because “Research is LEFTIST”, we’re left with people who wanted this destruction to happen (to everyone else) and only began to regret their selfish vote WHEN the evil they unleashed affects them (as if Medicaid & SNAP list a person’s political affiliation). With people who believe that the only path is to live under a fascist ruler who decides where the taxpayer contributions ~ of which none are paid into by the rich ~ should go. Where people work until they die and receive no benefits unless they saved for them. Where the oligarchs let the fools who gave them power starve, saying what we say to them when they whine about regretting their vote, “This is what you wanted when you voted for trump!”
We have 5 years left to cry. [David Bowie’s song, “5 Years” from the album, “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars”]. My eldest half sister, who’s 9 years older than me, used to play this song over and over. It stuck with me, like repetition lead to memorization].
Sorry. This one got to me. I know I ramble ~ because I write like I think (and I type with 1 finger REALLY fast) ~ but I hope SOMEONE reads my words and says, “This YENTA really has a point!”

Ramble on, YENTA! I read this, agree, and enjoyed your concise presentation I wish I lnew how print your Post to give and share. I am 75 worn out and tech limited due dyslexia. I do not have a David Bowie Ziggy album so will start searching. Thank you again, Sharon Epstein, you taught me,
Hi Gary!
Thank you for being my #1 fan! I only wish that I could share my observations on a more positive and progressive topic.
If you want to hear “Five Years” and see the lyrics, there are a few videos available on YouTube. It’s disturbing and mesmerizing at the same time.
Every day, I express my gratitude for living in a city that ~ mostly ~ supports the acceptance of others, even if you don’t personally understand the lifestyles of others ~ Philadelphia, PA.
The irony of the most vile people in America DEMANDING that everyone accept their lifestyle of loving guns, protecting billionaire pedophiles and emboldening racism while REFUSING to simply accept other people’s lifestyles unless they personally understands another person’s lifestyle (as if the acceptance from scum is EVER needed) is laughable as well as hypocritical!
A complete lack of self awareness is another common characteristic of people who don’t have the capacity to THINK and prefer to BELIEVE whatever diah-rhetoric aligns with their narrative of NOTHINGNESS.
It’s going to be a tough battle ~ even if we win. Fortunately, we have a full awareness of who we are — ANTI FASCISTS, like the ALLIED FORCES during WWII — as well as being fully aware of the predictability of predictable sheeple.
In SOLIDARITY ~ and Shana Tova!
