one of the most malignant, severely damaged humans on the planet. THIS STORY is what his propagandists have come up with to continue avoiding taking any action with regard to his behavior.

He underestimates Iran and assumes Iran is unstable.

That's what "the uneducated" elected... thanks to FAUX NOI$E.

that is his pattern and in the past it has worked. He has already threaten to obliterate Iran.

It was Trump just being Trump

This is the worst attempt at walking back non-existent policy I’ve ever witnessed.

The more than likely scenario is an effort to stuff more gauze into a gunshot wound on cratering polling numbers in advance of the mid-terms to hoodwink the base.

What you see is what you get.

He’s losing badly and equally as bad; floundering the efforts to rebound.

Shockingly pathetic low effort; even by recent standards.

In your guts....

"your base is cracking... sniff sniff, they think you're insane and blasphemous"

the idea is fucking insane

wandering around in the streets in a bathrobe while running the Genovese Family.

Except Trump really is fuckin' nuts!

Is he s bully? Yes. Is he diagnosably mentally ill? Yes. Is his mind showing the effects of being 80 years old? Yes

But we shouldn't make the mistake of thinking or believing Trump is still not capable of cleverness or cunning, because he is. His social media posts are just a new iteration of the "mad man" theory.

It’s desperation, he always does this. He knows he fucked up and he’s trying to find somebody to blame.

His insanity is incontinent...

Could explain a lot..on many levels.

People also note "I Have Had a Belly Full", or " I Can't Stomach It", or a fear that is in "The Pit of My Stomach".

That second brain thing makes good sense.

Like this is supposed to bring the Iranians to their knees when we know and the whole world knows Trump really is a deranged shit for brains bloviating impulsive toxic clown…well I’m convinced!

I expect this is in response to that.

Because he’s also got Sadism covered.

Just grab em by the p--y......

"easily accessible to any skilled spy" mold-infested restrooms and never held accountable with the proper punishment written in the criminal code... oh, and while on the subject, the same with plotting to overthrow an election by inciting his stupids to go murder his Vice-President!

or perhaps the man is actually unstable. Occam's razor might be a good fit in this case.

... however he has happily taken credit for it these past 40 years.

to be unstable and insulting. Thats a couple of his core personality traits.

He had to go to military school to avoid going into a juvenile detention facility after putting
a smaller child in a hospital and trying to throw a teacher out a window. Besides anybody
who makes himself look like he does and looks into the mirror and thinks that is a good look
Is batshit crazy. If his daddy had bought his way out of all kinds of things he would either
have died in Vietnam or been in prison for any # of things.

If we had an honest media he wouldn’t be in the White House right now. Thiel, Musk, Russia,
crypto boys, fossil fuel billionaires and companies, and others assured the outcome.

Botany =

For one thing, trump is unstable and insulting all the time.

infrastructure?

Come on, little blood clot.

Hope the universe hits you with this clue by four and hits you with it hard- Nobody believes a fucking thing you say!

The old excuse line by MAGA.
Now he’s added IT WAS A STRATEGY!!!
🙄

Somebody is trying to make him seem like he's sane and acting deliberately. But now that the insanity and instability shtick clearly isn't working, he's doing more of it because he doesn't know how to do anything else. It isn't a shtick, it's just him.

If we can get it past the anti-American Republicans, it is a pathway to get rid of him. He has also demanded an answer about his mental status from Trump's doctors.

I think this is a response to that

I think he thinks Iran is Venezuela or Greenland...

It's not even anything like Iraq or Syria. (I kinda think he thought it was like Iraq.."Oh just go in there. Kill their supreme leader and the government structure will collapse".)

He has just enough shreds of sanity left to know that he can't bully Russia or Israel. But he's always been a bully and now he's just crazier about it.

That's all.

Even if this were true, and I don’t believe him, how stupid does he have to be to teletype this “tactic” to Iran before this war is over? What is the point even? To gain back support from people who thought he’d become unstable? Too late. It doesn’t explain the Jesus meme or half the other shit he posted.

This tells me that those around him know damn well that he is batshit crazy and are trying to spin his nonsense as “strategy.” Again, what a load of shit.

He wants to act like it's something new, but he's always been an asshole.

(In paraphrase). A reporter quotes the dictator du jour of some country or other, and somebody asks him "How do you know when the Great Leader is making a statement and when he's just mouthing off?" The reporter answers: "He says 'quote that, suckah.'"

So, how do we know when DJT being "unstable and insulting" is a policy decision, and when it's just DJT being his usual self?

-- Mal

They're truly slipping.

So it takes one to know one.

acting so ridiculous and incoherent.

from any potentioal Legal CONSEQUENCE of his war-criminal threats (to get away scot-free again).

Of course it's ridiculous and just another wild attempt at slavishly sanewashing.

he's said / posted were a genius ploy to scare the Iranians into a peace deal?

So tired of his toxic, corrupt shit show.

Remember this term when he rambles incoherently? He had to make up this term for it to seem like it was his brilliant way of threading together many random elements mixing various subjects to finally arrive at a key point of emphasis. And this was supposed to show his vast breadth of knowledge and intellect.
BTW, when he speaks he also does that accordion thing with his hands. I believe this is a tell which he displays as a kind of subconscious defensive barrier to help him dispel any expected criticism of his obviously untruthful and insane statements.

He's doing a rob and weave..

And regarding Iran,he's woven a spider's web of intractable proportions,imho.

Is utter bullshit. Sanewashing.

Pathetic.

How silly of us not to discern the subtle sophistication of this novel approach.

That's some real creative writing there.

Obvious corruption. Stock and oil futures manipulation takes place in broad daylight. Multi-billion government contracts are steered to weeks-old companies infested with relatives and cronies and offering no relevant, qualifying experience. If leaders want to enable and participate in looting their own country, Kushner and Witkoff are always available to arrange the bribes.

Baseheads are always full of shit.

But there's no 'acting' about it. He is insulting and unstable.

I don't know when it's going to be forced home to him that he's now completely unable to make a deal of any kind. Everything he says is a known lie and he can/will change his mind within days, hours, or minutes. Nobody sent to negotiate for the US can guarantee that TOFU will do anything other than whatever he feels like at the moment. Once everybody knows that, he's done. And everybody knows that.

I believe that behind the scenes at the WH, he's in a complete panic, flailing around trying to find something, anything, he can win at. Maybe the bomb, maybe Cuba, maybe... You can't possibly keep ahead of imagining it, because there's literally no scheme crazy enough that he would rule it out. He's sure that there has to be something that'll bail him out of being the loser that he is.

And there's nothing.

I’m so relieved. For a minute there, I was concerned…

He just spews more trumpshit on top of trumpshit.

I can’t stand what Iran and Sharia law stands for, but I know damn well their leaders aren’t as mentally incompetent as Trump.

only they're pitifully bad at gaslighting.

It's no "strategy". This is his people making excuses because he is really a lunatic. He is unstable and insulting, no question about it, that's him in a nutshell and always has been him.

"I was just pretending to be a flatulent angry lunatic! It's all an act! A strategy! Those times I pissed and shit myself? A strategy!! (promptly voids bowels into pants) I really am a stable genius!"

I didn't know the Independent was capable
of such bad journalismm.

Bargain basement.

"...a strategy of intentionally acting unstable and insulting..."

Yeah, Trump intentionally acts that way - because he's an unhinged nut.

That is trump…unstable and insulting!

shit. Testbook sixth grade tactics.

But I guess it's all they got even though it's utter BS.

He's not crazy like a fox. He's just an immoral pig.

And even if one were to accept that "oh, he was using madman theory" spin as true... That is tremendously unflattering spin because inherent in that explanation is the unavoidable implication that he is extraordinarily ignorant and stupid -- because that "madman theory" stuff is totally ineffective bunk and everyone knows it.

and if he does then get what he wants, it becomes learned behavior.

This is MAGAs excuse for his behavior. They really believe this is Art of the Deal level negotiations.

Of course they do. It’s a cult.

No surprise. Folks have been saying the man has dementia….
