The 47th president has led us to the greatest geopolitical catastrophe in the history of the republic. We broke a lot of things and killed a lot of people but were unable to turn tactical success into strategic success, while Iran has learned it can close the Strait of Hormuz and throw the world into chaos.

Of course, this 2nd Trump presidency, in agregate, may be the biggest catastrophe of all. Even before this war with Iran, Trump had greatly diminished America's standing in the world by alienating our closest allies and trading partners. This has the potential to cause economic catastrophe if the dollar is rejected as the primary world currency and our $40 trillion national debt comes crashing down on our heads.

(346 posts)knows better than any Democrat how to snatch defeat from his success . Well soon have to put that inflammatory, demeaning trope to bed and reassign it to this sleazy car salesman in Chief. Im exhausted with his litany of successes.
With his many assets bought and paid for by our foreign adversaries well deplete our treasury either there or on one more grifted ballroom hidden under a fictional golf course in Trumpchumpzanzia.

(247 posts)It is illegal to attack any country that has not attacked you first. This makes the US a rogue state that should face international sanctions. Shameful to be an American now.
