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.
