President “best deal maker in the world” couldn’t make a deal with Iran after ripping up the deal we already had, then he couldn’t make a deal with Israel to get our people out of there before they started attacking and now doesn’t have a plan to handle this like he didn’t have a plan to handle the pandemic because he’s so fucking short-sighted.
As we get deeper and deeper into MAGA 2.0, this pattern is becoming more and more apparent - these people act entirely on impulse, with only the immediate satisfaction of their instant gratification as their objective. It NEVER occurs to them to consider the next steps, or the consequences of their actions.
Noem/Lewandowski threw a tantrum in a South Dakota airport, and fired their pilot over literally nothing, and then had to quickly hire them back when they realized that they had nobody else to fly them home. It was either hire back the pilot, or take up residence in South Dakota, because they couldn't control their tempers.
Trump bombs Iran, supposedly to keep them from retaliating from an Israeli attack, and now they're retaliating all over the Middle East. They never saw that coming?
MAGA has an affordability crisis that is going to result in a bloodbath in the Midterms, but instead of doing anything about it besides tell people to ignore the evidence of their bank accounts, he bombs one of the primary oil suppliers, and then closes the waterway which transports 20% of the world's oil. If gas is below $4 by the end of March, I'll be shocked.
These guys can't get beyond the "That's wicked cool!" stage, to consider what might happen after.
They literally have a coordinated game plan everyone screamed about before the last election, it’s hardly impulse or flying by the seat of their pants.
Beyond that it’s impulsive looking distractions with no follow through because it’s just a smokescreen
The objectives were laid out in advance, but the execution is impulsive and haphazard, and always has been. Even in the MAGA 1.0, they instituted things like the Family Separation Policy with literally no preparation. They simply decided at a meeting, and made a phone call to start using the policy immediately. No planning, no system, no tracking, no identies, nothing. They just started separating kids, toddlers who didn't know their parents' names, pre-verbal babies, even nursing babies, and throwing them into separate facilities, never to see their mothers ever again.
By the end of the Biden administration, after a concerted effort to reunite as many kids with their families as possible, there were still 1000 children who are still separated from their families, and will probably NEVER be reunited. What's worse, is that now that MAGA is back, there is no news on what has happened to those children. Google it, this administration is totally silent on the remaining evidence of one of their most psychopathic policies. What has happened to those kids? Where are they? How are they being treated? What is the administrations policy toward those children? They were considered illegal immigrants, are they being deported? To where, to who?
That's the kind of impulsive action that causes chaos and cruelty, which they love more than anything, because it makes moral people outraged, and MAGA thinks that's even funnier than raping and murdering babies.
I imagine its less about them being impulsive and more about Netenyahu dictating a demand and them doing it. Israel has been trying to get the US to attack Iran for a while now. That, and its a nice distraction from the epstain files which was yet another Israeli operation. The whole world seems to revolve around Israeli supremacist manipulations lately.
Yeah, it’s terrible having leaders who are completely incapable of critical thinking and solely act on impulse that’s almost always based on completely incorrect data. Hopefully the midterms change things, if we still have them.
But at least the emotional woman didn't win, amirite?
So they're Americans, a product of America's instant gratification consumer culture. Shocking!
because he’s a fucking STUPID self-centered malignant narcissist - FTFY.
Thanks, that is what I meant.
I dunno about the art of the deal, but this entire spectacle feels like some sort of absurdist art performance. Nothing is real, up is down, lies are truth, parody is dead
The Art of the Deal was that the ghost writer got actually writing credit.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
