Trump implies the war he started was stupid.” Maybe we shouldn’t be there at all,” says Trump.
Trump’s Well-Stated Point
Shouldn’t Be There At All
“Really, I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their territory … they should help us. You could make the case that maybe we shouldn’t be there at all, because we don’t need it. We have a lot of oil.”
Precisely!
No one asked for this stupid war except Netanyahu, Lindsey Graham, and his stupid son-in-law.
So yes, one can easily make the case that “maybe definitely we shouldn’t be there at all.”
The irony is Trump has no idea how stupid he sounds to everyone but the cult.
Master of Media Manipulations
Truth Social: Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations. They are Militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at “feeding” the very appreciative Fake News Media false information. Now, A.I. has become another Disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day. They showed phony “Kamikaze Boats,” shooting at various Ships at Sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these Boats don’t exist — It’s all false information to show how “tough” their already defeated Military is! The five U.S. Refueling Planes that were supposedly struck down and badly damaged, according to The Wall Street Journal’s false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon be flying the skies. Buildings and Ships that are shown to be on fire are not — It’s FAKE NEWS, generated by A.I. For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious Ships in the World, burning uncontrollably in the Ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at — Iran knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information! The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they “win” are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That’s why their Approval Rating is so low, and I can win a Presidential Election, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive Press — They have no credibility! I am so thrilled to see Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), looking at the licenses of some of these Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic “News” Organizations. They get Billions of Dollars of FREE American Airwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in News and almost all of their Shows, including the Late Night Morons, who get gigantic Salaries for horrible Ratings, and never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, “FIRED.” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump Rants About Fox News Host
New Rant Regarding Powell
Truth Social: The Courts treat Republicans, and me, so unfairly, always seeming to protect those who should not be protected. They are highly politicized. Cases don’t matter, the Judge does! As an example, how is this absolutely terrible Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome “Too Late” Powell, not even allowed to be investigated for the horrible job he does? How is he allowed to be Billions of Dollars over budget, and years behind schedule, on the simple renovation of the small Federal Reserve Complex in Washington, D.C., where he created an absolute disaster — A money pit, and embarrassment to our Country for the whole World to see! It is a little project that has been under construction for many years. The Contractor on the job, along with Powell, should also be heavily investigated, in that it is impossible for a “professional” to have such enormous Cost Overruns. It is THE HIGHEST PRICED BUILDING, PER SQUARE FOOT, OF ANY PROJECT EVER BUILT, with no end in sight, and may not even be open for many years to come. I strongly criticized Jerome “Too Late” for his horrible performance throughout his tenure, which is either gross incompetence, total dishonesty, or both, and, in return for this well justified criticism, get viciously and wrongfully blamed by, as usual, a Wacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control Judge, named James Boasberg, a man who suffers from the highest level of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and has been “after” my people, and me, for years. The D.C. Circuit eagerly supported the arrest and persecution of innocent Republicans for no crimes at all, but is now preventing even a basic investigation into the gross financial mismanagement of the Federal Reserve. In case after case, Boasberg has displayed open, flagrant, and extreme partisan bias and contempt against Republicans and the Trump Administration. To preserve the integrity of the Judiciary, he should be removed from all cases pertaining to us, and suffer serious disciplinary action, as should numerous other Corrupt Judges that, unfortunately, our Country has had to endure! What Boasberg has done on the “Too Late” Powell case, and many others, has little to do with the Law, and everything to do with Politics. He is exactly what Judges should not be! Boasberg would do better to focus on Justice and Fairness, not his own, and the Democrats’, Political Agenda, which has become LEGENDARY! Much like “prosecutor” Deranged Jack Smith, and many others, Boasberg is a disgrace, as was his predecessor, to our Legal Process, and our Highly Politicized Court System, which was just witnessed firsthand by the unfortunate and unwarranted TARIFF decision, recently handed down by the United States Supreme Court, which was a GIFT to Countries and Companies who have been “ripping off the United States of America,” for decades, at levels never seen before.
New Rant on Tariffs and Rigged Elections
The decision that mattered most to me was TARIFFS! The Court knew where I stood, how badly I wanted this Victory for our Country, and instead decided to, potentially, give away Trillions of Dollars to Countries and Companies who have been taking advantage of the United States for decades. Our Supreme Court has made these Countries very happy but, as the Court pointed out, I have the absolute right to charge TARIFFS in another form, and have already started to do so. The Hundreds of Billions of Dollars that our Adversaries want our Country to pay back to others that have disrespected the U.S.A., until I came along, should be marked down, in the eyes of the Public, as just another reason why the United States had been in such major decline — But, not anymore, because we have MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and, very soon, it will be GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE!
I want to thank Justices Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh for their Wisdom and Courage pertaining to the TARIFF case, and for understanding, in addition to the Law, that our “Unfriendly Competitors” should not be reimbursed and rewarded for the decades of Damage they have caused THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I will fight hard to make sure that this does not happen! The Democrats on the Court always “stick together,” no matter how strong a case is put before them — There is rarely even a minor “waver.” But Republicans do not do this. They openly disrespect the Presidents who nominate them to the highest position in the Land, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and go out of their way, with bad and wrongful rulings and intentions, to prove how “honest,” “independent,” and “legitimate” they are. The Democrat Justices just vote Democrat — They always stick together! Our Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization. The sad thing is, they will only get worse! They wouldn’t even call out The Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, because they said that I, as President of the United States, did not have “standing” to challenge it, and now, with time, it has been conclusively proven to be stolen — And look what happened to our wonderful Nation by allowing a grossly incompetent man, Sleepy Joe Biden, to be our “President.” This completely inept and embarrassing Court was not what the Supreme Court of the United States was set up by our wonderful Founders to be. They are hurting our Country, and will continue to do so. All I can do, as President, is call them out for their bad behavior! This statement about the United States Supreme Court will cause me nothing but problems in the future, but I feel it is my obligation to speak the TRUTH. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

March 15, 2026: US Secretary of Energy Says High Gasoline Prices Might Last Weeks
Given that diesel and fertilizer prices are soaring, I have a question.
Wasn’t there supposed to be a big announcement tonight?
What the hell was ist?
Trump has attacked/offended so many allies and now he expects them to help him out of his own mess.
Why should European NATO members help him? First, they fight their own war in Ukraine. Second, he needs their ships only as cannon-futter. Third, tariffs on European goods. Fourth, Greenland. Fifth, if things go wrong, USA and Russia will be the only major energy suppliers and Europe would be ripped off by US oil&gas companies. Sixth, Europeans are usually not able to agree on anything important.
Canada – tariffs, Alberta, stupid talk about 51nd state of Union, attacks on Canada’s foreign policy.
India – we have just made a deal with Teheran. A bird in hand is worth two in a bush.
Putin has played Trump like violine, delaying, promising, offering riches of Artic and the result is that Trump entered war on three fronts (Ukraine, Venezuela, Iran) and Taiwan front may open soon if China blockades Taiwan. And for this Trump rewards Moscow with 30-day oil sanction waiver.
Venezuela – people may admit that it is a big victory. Yes, but Venezuela still needs to be controlled by a US Navy fleet which is missing at Middle East. Ukraine – Trump tried to leave it to Europeans but US is still involved through NATO structures.
People tend to forget that out of 74 US Navy’s Arleigh Burke destroyer fleet only 1/3 can be deployed and that these 25 ships have to cover many tasks around the globe including anti-ballistic missile defence of USA. Concentrating 10 destroyers in Middle East for several-month long campaign is actually an enourmous task. These 10 ships need to be supplied but it is impossible to reload them with missiles at open sea. They need to go to a port. That’s why Bahrain US Navy base was so important. Now they have to sail to Diego Garcia or Djibouti (ask Houthis what they think about this option). At the end, in case of prolonged war, there are only 5 destroyers available for action against Iran. Five out of 74 destroyers.
And that’s why Trump is looking for allies.
You forgot to mention below…no problem though, lots to keep track of. Probably easier to list the countries not impacted.
“Trump Says He Wants to Finish Iran War Before Tackling Cuba”
Trump realizes he has lost this war and now wants to off load the problem on to NATO. I don’t think he realizes that not everyone is as stupid as he is.
Dow is only off 6% from all time highs and Trump is losing his $hit.
Wonder what his MAX PAIN level is? -10%? No way he let’s it poop -20%, no way.
I am not sure there is anything he can do about it. That genie is not going back into the bottle. There is no return to the previous status quo. Either the Iranian regime ceases to exists (at unimaginable cost in lives and treasure) or they become the dominant power in the Gulf, backed by nuclear weapons.
That is the position Trump put himself into.
To your point, seems either way “US military exceptionalism” is trashed. If any of remnant of Iran is left standing, US loses all military credibility from this point forward — i.e., paper tiger? ok, maybe cardboard tiger. Can’t help thinking that if there was no modern day Israel, none of this would be happening.
If I were a family member of one of the US service members that have died so far, I’d be absolutely raging at the comment Trump made about “maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all.”
This is a war on China not accidental necessarily strategic. The Gulf represents the western flank of any war in the Pacific and no general or admiral seeking to shape the theatre of war ever leaves their flanks undefended especially when it is such a vital logistics corridor. I have written extensively about the inevitability of this war titling one article Iran: A World War In One Country. theplanningmotive.com is my site.
While Trump is making delusional tweets, he’s coming up with delusional war strategy ideas.
“Trump told the Financial Times on Sunday he was expecting China to help unblock the strait before his scheduled meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping”
China should tell Trump the strait is open. Chinese ships can travel through just fine. China doesn’t see this as a problem, so why is China being asked to help? Sounds like a Trump problem, not a China problem.
Exactly, Hormuz is only closed to Murder Inc. and their US goon squad.
“At no point in your rambling, incoherent answer were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Why do you believe that Iran having nuclear weapons is OK? Iran is presently attacking all the Gulf oil-producing countries with drones and missiles. If Iran had nuclear weapons, those countries’ oil-producing infrastructure would be destroyed, unless they either paid tribute to Iran or limited their sales so prices would rise to Iran’s benefit. In that event, oil would cost far more than the recent war premium. Plus, Iran is the world’s largest funder of terrorists, including their own Islamic Revolutionary Guards, Hezbollah, Houthis, and Hamas. This funding would expand dramatically once Iran had nuclear weapons and could control the Arab oil producers. For 47 years, Iran has called for the destruction of America. When does the US confront them – after Iran has nuclear weapons?
Who tore up the nuclear deal put in place to prevent Iran from having an atomic bomb, Steve?
Do you know why there was a deal in the first place, Steve? Because every single simulation and war game the Pentagon ran on a direct conflict with Iran resulted in the indefinite closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran eventually getting a nuke anyways. The consensus was that there was no possible, politically palatable, military solution for this dilemma.
You can read more about it here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HDSVNTQXsAA3Xwy?format=png&name=large
But what did the “stable genius” do? He tore up to deal, wiped his arse on it and went to war with Iran. So far the war is playing out EXACTLY as every simulation predicted, with no way out.
Congrats, you voted for this. You own this shit show from top to bottom. Enjoy.
Trump “tore up” the Obama nuclear deal because Iran was cheating starting day 1 by enriching uranium above agreed upon terms and failing to disclose the secret locations of their nuclear development activity. Plus the agreement was flawed because no inspections were allowed at Natanz and Fordow. Places where nuclear development continued unimpeded.
The US army simulation was correct as far as US capability. The US war planners also determined it would be impossible to gain domination over Iranian air space. But Israel has done it twice in the p ast year without losing a plane.
Only bad things happen if Iran gets nuclear weapons. This is the last good chance to stop them and I am hoping it succeeds. Otherwise. The consequences for the US and the rest of the world will be dire.
No they didn’t. Now you are just making shit up. Claiming that Iran was “cheating” is shit you are making up too. The entire military intelligence community was dumbfounded when Trump tore up that deal. Trump is a deeply pathological person that was elected by equally deeply pathological people like yourself. You lie like he lies. Make shit up like he does. You are made for each other.
After a decade, political reality is finally catching up to him and his MAGA movement. For all this time, he was a bug in search for a windshield. The windshield has finally hit him.
I see no way out for the trap he put himself into. Trump started this fight, but now he does not know how to end it.
If he just declares victory and walks away, Iran will rush to produce a nuclear weapon to never be in this situation again. The Gulf countries will be fucked, the petrodollar will be fucked and consequentially the US government will no longer be able to run endless deficits. It will be the end of the empire.
Trump can try to escalate the conflict with boots on the ground, but it is politically very difficult as the war grows increasingly unpopular and the continuous closure of the Strait of Hormuz causes more economic losses. The reality is that Iran can take a lot more pain than the US.
So if Trump tries to walk away, Israel might just damn it all the hell and nuke Iran, rather than risking a stronger Iran. Bibi is insane enough to do it.
Trump is merely the Shabos-goy light switcher…”he” didn’t start anything…all commands come from Bibi. But that’s their trick, get a goy to do the dirty work and provide them cover — a trick as old as time, no different then when they had the Romans crucify Jesus (or so the story goes).
All that said, your last sentence is on point. Israel’s use of nukes is inevitable.
To be fair, Bibi had to wait 30 years to find a president dumb enough to fire every capable military advisor who would have advised him against this crazy, senseless folly.
Ultimately, it is still on Trump.

Executive Summary
The article presents a series of statements and rants attributed to former President Donald Trump, primarily focused on foreign policy, military engagements, and domestic political grievances. Trump questions the necessity of U.S. involvement in conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, while simultaneously criticizing allies and adversaries alike. He accuses media outlets of spreading disinformation, particularly regarding Iran's military capabilities, and claims that Iran's perceived strength is largely fabricated through AI-generated propaganda. Trump also criticizes the Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court, and specific judges, alleging political bias and mismanagement. The narrative includes hypothetical scenarios about the escalation of conflicts, the potential nuclear ambitions of Iran, and the strategic implications for global oil markets and U.S. military credibility. The tone is combative, with Trump positioning himself as a victim of systemic bias while asserting his leadership as essential to restoring American strength.
The article also includes external commentary and critiques of Trump's statements, highlighting contradictions in his positions, such as his initial dismissal of the need for foreign assistance followed by pleas for global support. Critics argue that Trump's policies have led to strategic quagmires, particularly in relations with Iran, and that his approach has alienated allies while emboldening adversaries. The discussion extends to broader geopolitical consequences, including the potential for nuclear proliferation in the Middle East and the erosion of U.S. influence. The piece reflects deep polarization, with Trump's supporters and detractors offering starkly different interpretations of his actions and their implications.
Full Take
The strongest version of this narrative presents Trump as a leader willing to challenge established norms and institutions, positioning himself as a truth-teller against a corrupt media and judicial system. He frames his foreign policy critiques as pragmatic, questioning the necessity of costly military engagements and advocating for allies to shoulder more responsibility. His accusations of media manipulation and judicial bias resonate with a base that perceives systemic unfairness, reinforcing his image as an outsider fighting entrenched elites. The narrative also leverages economic nationalism, portraying tariffs and trade policies as essential to protecting American interests against exploitative foreign actors.
However, the narrative exhibits several manipulation patterns. Trump's claims about Iran's military capabilities and media disinformation rely on exaggerated and unverified assertions, a tactic that aligns with **ARC-0024 Ambiguity** and **ARC-0043 Motte-and-Bailey**, where broad accusations are made without substantive evidence. His attacks on judges and media outlets often devolve into ad hominem rhetoric, a form of **ARC-0012 Authority Games**, where credibility is undermined through personal attacks rather than substantive critique. The repeated declarations of victory in ongoing conflicts, despite contradictory evidence, reflect **ARC-0031 False Framing**, creating a binary choice between his leadership and perceived failure.
The root cause of this narrative is a paradigm of grievance and victimhood, where Trump positions himself as the sole defender of American interests against a coalition of enemies—foreign adversaries, corrupt institutions, and disloyal allies. This echoes historical patterns of populist leadership, where complex geopolitical challenges are reduced to simplistic us-versus-them dynamics. The implications for human agency are significant: by framing dissent as treason and criticism as bias, the narrative undermines public trust in institutions and polarizes discourse. The beneficiaries are those who thrive in chaos—political operatives, media personalities, and foreign actors who exploit division. The costs are borne by civilians, service members, and allies caught in the crossfire of escalating conflicts and eroding diplomatic relations.
Bridge questions to consider: What evidence would be required to validate Trump's claims about media manipulation and judicial bias? How might allies perceive the U.S.'s reliability as a partner given the inconsistencies in Trump's foreign policy statements? What alternative strategies could address the challenges posed by Iran without escalating into prolonged conflict?
Counterstrike scan: If this narrative were part of a coordinated influence campaign, the playbook would involve amplifying divisions, undermining trust in institutions, and creating a sense of crisis to justify extreme measures. The content partially aligns with this pattern, particularly in its use of exaggerated claims and adversarial framing. However, the disjointed and often contradictory nature of the statements suggests a lack of strategic coherence, making it more indicative of individual grievance than a structured campaign.
