Amid fresh U.S. strikes in Iran, Trump goes on the defensive following Republican pushback. The president effectively told his ostensible conservative allies, “Trust me.” Many of them effectively responded, “No.” (MS NOW)
Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and we are celebrating Groundhog Day, yet once again. There wasn’t a war with Iran till Trump decided it should be a war, a war he gloated about with the same zeal and zest as our invasion of Venezuela, but then it didn’t turn out that way. Then, after there was no clear victory or, for that matter, any decisive action on behalf of Trump's Toy Soldiers, Trump was always one step closer to the Twilight Zone, and then reality declared victory anyway. What the fuck he must have thought, whatever I say or do, should be reality because I am a gift to the American Nationalists, from Jesus Christ!
Then, with prices soaring, nations across the world rationing gasoline and energy products, farmers in the US running low on fertilizer, and rotting soybeans, Trump, with his Cosplay Secretary of War and Machismo, “Pistol” Pete, said it is no longer a war but now a Ceasefire.
But never to be outdone, and demonstrating a loser, when the once open Strait of Hormuz was blockaded, to make matters even worse, but to raise Trump’s ego, the US decided to blockade the blockade. Genius, except it made matters worse, and the war, which was no longer a war, became a war again, but this time with a new name, to maybe confuse the MAGA minions who, if given a test to locate Iran, would fail. Let alone asking them to pinpoint the Strait of Hormuz!
And now the man who intended on suing his government regarding the release of his family’s tax returns, the dude who once said the Ballroom would only cost $200 million, the douchebag who insisted that in a mere few weeks this Iran thing would be over and they would no longer have the capacity for nuclear weapons, and a more moderate US friendly regime, the guy who said rising gasoline prices are “just peanuts,” has the audacity to tell his eager enablers the Republicans, to “just trust me,”
Most of the rest of us not in the cult or fearful of being primaried scoff and smirk, as there is nothing TRUSTABLE about Trump. But Trump knows a gullible fool when he sees one, and is assuming that once again his eunuch in Congress will trust him!
