The president also expressed surprise in the interview that US allies in the Gulf have been targeted by Iran. These countries “got shot at unnecessarily”, he told NBC, describing Iran’s decision to target them as “the biggest surprise I had of this whole thing”.

The fact that he is admitting this off the cuff as if it’s a good reason proves unequivocally that Trump has absolutely no fucking clue what the fuck he, or anyone else in his “administration” is doing. This is precisely the tactic that has deterred the US from daring to launch a full scale war on Iran for decades, and it is playing out exactly as foreseen by every military leader, president, and politician the came before now.

Trump’s extreme narcissism belies a deep and crippling incompetence that has plagued him his entire life, and this statement is the perfect example of how his ego and frankly insane immunity to consequences prevents him from possibly even discovering that he may be committing grievous errors.

The chaos sown by the spoiled sons of rich and powerful men is a problem that has plagued humankind of millennia, except now they have nuclear weapons.

we should introduce him to the guillotine for shits and giggles
