Donald Trump goes berserk as his Iran stunt backfires spectacularly
What do you when you’re just five months into your term as President of the United States and you’re already historically unpopular, much of your agenda has already been stalled or overturned, and everyone at home and abroad thinks you’re a dementia riddled joke? You can give in and stop acting like a deranged psychopath and hope that people might like you more. Or you can roll the dice on a low percentage desperation ploy that’ll likely only make things worse for you.

Donald Trump, being the biggest loser in history, naturally chose the latter. Trump bombed Iran’s nuclear sites, hoping for… what exactly? That part was never clear. Iran fired missiles at a United States military base in retaliation (the missiles were never going to hit anything), and Trump ignored it and instead announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. This was apparently news to both nations, who sorta kinda agreed to go along with it for 24 hours, but then almost immediately went back to attacking each other.
Trump is very lucky that all of the above hasn’t gotten us all nuked. But short of that, this is about the worst outcome for Trump that could have happened. He took the biggest swing at Iran that he could muster, hoping it would make him look like a giant on the world stage. In response, not only is Iran laughing at him, so is Israel.
Naturally, Trump is now resorting to doing what he’s always done in these situations where he gets in wildly over his head: he’s ranting angrily on the internet. Trump is now whining on social media about both Israel and Iran, because neither one of them will listen to him. And this guy is somehow the President of the United States. He has every bit of leverage possible on his side, yet he’s still losing to both Iran and Israel. That shouldn’t even be possible.
