Stop the stupid! Donald Trump & Co have got to go

“Donald Trump and his supporters are a threat to humanity,” writes Professor Mark Beeson. “Every time you think things can’t get any worse… they double down on your stupidity.”

Donald Trump has never been an obvious choice for the American presidency. It is known that he is not very bright and clearly is decreasing with each week that passes. He is also a convicted criminal and completely devoid of any sense of morality or empathy. Perhaps more importantly, there is a childlike need for attention and fear of rejection. All this means that he becomes aggressive when he is challenged or feels slighted.

How unbalanced and devoid of any sense of proportion, responsibility or dignity he was was evident in his recent social media posts (see verified screenshot above).

After threatening ‘Bomb Iran until the stone age’ (There was only one of them, Donald), He told the Iranian leadership with:

‘… Open the damn Throat, you crazy bastards, or you’ll live in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.’

This kind of language and gratuitous insult to another faith would be distasteful and inappropriate coming from the mouth of a rude, uninformed racist teenager—which may be exactly what Trump and his even more odious Secretary of War Pete Hegseth are: overprivileged, emotionally and intellectually underdeveloped frat boys.

All of this was too much for some old stalwarts of the MAGA movement. And so it should be. Majorie GreeneFormerly one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, he has now become one of Trump’s harshest critics. Initially outraged by the Administration’s failure to release the Epstein files, Trump has now described Trump as “crazy” and “not a Christian” for his illegal war against Iran.

In contrast, Secretary of War Hegseth remains one of the most influential people in Trump’s sycophantic orbit and a self-proclaimed Christian Evangelical.

Becoming a Christian did little to curb his bloodlust, but this is a possibility evident in Hegseth’s thought. Evaluation of the war with Iran:

“This was never intended to be a fair fight, and this is not a fair fight. We’re punching them while they’re down.”

Actually, hegseth He claims to have prayed for it to be used “overwhelming violence” against Iran “In the name of Jesus”.

Turning the cheek has fallen out of favor with America’s more fanatical Christian community. those who remain enthusiastic Trump’s supporters.

But overzealous Christians aren’t the only ones eager for a bit of punishment. Binyamin Netanyahu, another important name who whispered to Trump, said that an Iranian naval commander who was recently assassinated “blood on your hands“. After killing something like this, Netanyahu would know something about it 70,000 people in Gaza Not to mention the homes of the survivors – most of whom were civilians – were reduced to rubble.

The point to emphasize is that key actors in both countries are trying to destroy Iran and kill its people – “just” several thousand dead So far I have absolutely no empathy, morality or even strategic wisdom. Aside from the fact that Iran was not clearly defeated, we are led to believeBut the damage to its neighbors and the global economy is potentially huge. Maybe the stock market crash will affect Trump’s thinking in ways that the death of innocents clearly does not.

Or maybe not. After all, if you can buy and sell with advantage insider informationThere’s still plenty of money to be made, especially since you’re a corrupt, selfish sociopath. Real victims as always the world’s poor and innocentThey are struggling to cope with food shortages caused by rising prices, cuts in fertilizer supplies and cuts in foreign aid.

It’s hard to overstate how much of a threat Trump and his supporters truly are to humanity. Every time you think things couldn’t get worse or be worse advised, they double down on the stupidity. Let’s hope someone doesn’t tell the world’s most powerful man that the best way to ensure the destruction of Iran’s alleged nuclear stockpile is to drop a “tactical” nuclear weapon on it.

After all, this is a tactic that works very well in Japan, it seems to be part of history Trump actually knows something about this – he showed it this way: gently reminding Japan’s new Prime Minister about the attack on Pearl Harbor. It’s a shame that the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn’t respond by saying they were equally surprised that nuclear weapons had fallen on their unsuspecting heads.

But no one dares express the anger of the Trump administration. The real question is at what point the American people, and especially the American military, say enough is enough. Things are getting completely out of control and the Trump administration is a danger to the people it claims to represent and the rest of the world.

There are some signs that other countries are slow to recognize the threat, but more needs to be done. A useful, sobering and inexpensive message could be sent by a mass boycott of the upcoming World Cup. It would be unfortunate for the football tragics among us, but it’s a small price to pay for kicking President Trump’s psychological bullshit; express it in a language that can be understood.
