Given recent history though (him pretending like he didn't know we were about to strike irans nuclear facilities) , I've been trying to work out if this was just another staged theatrical performance.
Part of me honestly wonders if he gave Iran the heads up that US bombers were coming so they could clear out their nuclear materials in advance.
He retains favor with Israel for the bombing run
Iran owes him a favor for the heads up
He gets to distract everyone from his abysmal public opinion and ongoing ICE bullshit.
He surrounds himself with Dana White/Linda MacMahon types who are well versed in the art of putting on a show while reaping in the raitings and revenue. During this whole episode his family has also started a mobile phone venture while continuing with the pump and dump crypto bullshit that allows him to reap tons of off-the-books favor peddling from foreign nationals.
This is all very akin to the way Putin has long governed - playing both sides of every conflict, making peculiar choices and then lying about what he has done, only to then act as though he wasn't lying all of the same. Everyone spends so much time chasing them around for answers that they have no way of stopping the next grift as it takes place.
What was the thing people were maddest at Trump about 2 weeks ago? A month ago?
What happened to his feuds with Elon?
Where are we with the invasions of Greenland and Canada?
How come egg prices are no longer being discussed?
Are the marines still in LA?
Are we going after illegal immigrants that work at restaurants and farms, or are we not?
This is the reasons I cannot get behind anything this guy does - he is at the same time completely insincere, totally honest, and absolutely full of shit. That's not what I want out of government. I want honesty, integrity, and an understanding of how ones actions are supposed to benefit the average american. Instead, we get a reality television series that benefits the wealthy while we all hunker inside sweating to death because Big Tech won't stop to think about whether AI slop and crypto might be bad for the environment.
