Ever since Donald Trump descended from his he Golden Elevator in Trump Tower he has struggled fervently to present an image of himself as a “Macho Man.”<\/em> Perhaps the best evidence that he has never succeeded in that quest is that he didn’t bother to use that Village People song as his theme, opting instead for “YMCA.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Trump’s idea of masculinity is woefully limited to bragging incessantly about himself, casting infantile insults at others (mostly women), and barking out inane orders to his military commanders to embark on pointless missions that result in nothing but causing great harm to innocent people. And all the while, he will never accept any responsibility for his incompetence.<\/p>\n

The harm that Trump causes has a sweeping effect on the lives of millions. Domestically it severely impacts the American people by exacerbating inflation. Internationally it poisons the nation’s relationships with our allies. But the most painful consequence of Trump’s aberrant ego and ineptitude has fallen on American soldiers.<\/p>\n

When Trump launched his reckless and illegal war against Iran he said that it wouldn’t last more than a few weeks. That was six months ago. To date there have been 18 American fatalities and nearly 800 troops injured. But Trump has a despicably careless attitude toward those heroes. As reported by the Associated Press<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“President Donald Trump on Friday said the conflict in Iran is ‘small potatoes’ as he defended Vice President JD Vance for asserting that months of on-and-off attacks in the Middle East are not a ‘war.’ […] ‘I can understand what he\u2019s saying,’ said Trump. He added: ‘I call it a military conflict because it\u2019s small potatoes for us. It\u2019s not a big thing.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, that’s good to know. To the “commander-in-chief”<\/em> who never served – who is in fact a five-time draft dodger – this war is “small potatoes.”<\/em> That tracks with his prior commentaries on fallen and wounded soldiers who he called “suckers and losers<\/a><\/strong>,”<\/em> including the late Sen. John McCain, who spent six years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, and about whom Trump said that he “likes people who weren’t captured.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump’s disregard for the soldiers he is supposed to be in charge of is profoundly repulsive. But it’s also predictable. It is a reflection of his sociopathic personality disorder. He doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself. And to him the concept of war is nothing more than a game that he can exploit to try to improve his abhorrent image. How else can he justify making a Fox News yakker, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of…um…Small Potatoes?<\/p>\n

However, Trump even fails at that. The guy who changed the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War – because he thinks it makes him look tough – can’t keep straight whether his misadventures in Iran are a war or not. Perhaps he will consider renaming it again to the Department of Small Potatoes. Today he calls whatever he’s doing in Iran “a military conflict.”<\/em> But literally yesterday he called it a war – twice…<\/p>\n

\n

Trump keeps describing victory in Iran as a "Trump WIN."His ego is out of control. Particularly since he is responsible for America losing. He should never have started the war. Or put Pete Hegseth, a Fox News flunky, in charge of it. He is the TDS poster child.<\/p>\n
