There have been moments here and there when Trump blurted out something nasty, but it’s usually when he was “home” in America. This time it was not in our public eye, but at the G7 Summit. He could not have picked a worse place to do so. This time, it’s in front of the world, and he can’t un-say it. We are cringing and rolling our eyes at the same time. My regards to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump startled onlookers with a profane outburst when he was asked about former President Barack Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran. The 80-year-old Trump has been fixated on proving the agreement to end his war in Iran is stronger than the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – which he withdrew from in May 2018, during his first term – and he blew up Wednesday morning when asked about the comparison at the G7 summit.
Batten down the hatches! He’s done it again! No, of course this isn’t unusual for us. But it is for others, and blurting this out on a world stage is petty and ignorant, classic Trump. It really shows his mind is going. He used to have a form of guard rails, but they fell away since the start of his second term. Now? He says what he wants, when he wants, and to hell with the consequences. But those are what constantly keep tripping him up.
“Nobody could’ve made this deal,” Trump groused. “The JCPOA done by Obama … he gave them $1.7 billion in cash — green cash, from banks — into a Boeing 757 and flew it into Iran. He tried to bribe his way out. I didn’t do that .… and you know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama, and they said he’s a stupid son of a b—-.” Trump’s flare-up – which came as he was seated with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France – alarmed many who saw his comments on social media. //// “He is not well,” sighed journalist Juliet Jeske, who runs the “Decoding Fox News” account. //// “A vulgar and profane serial liar,” sneered veteran journalist Alan Friedman.
Serial liar, yes, but he might actually perceive this in his own reality, which does not always mean his location. So what he is saying could be in his mind, but not in our actual reality. To him, the words make sense. And since he thinks he is the leader of the entire world, saying something like this, in the company he was in, is just something he says without being at all concerned. Getting into Trump’s head is a challenge. It’s not rational. We just have to guess going by previous actions. Let’s have some more comments, and then we’ll close.
“Obama’s JCPOA prevented Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons without any loss of life or billions spent on a needless war,” observed political scientist and former diplomat Michael McFaul. //// “‘Unlike MY deal…which is SO amazing that I still refuse to show anyone the details!’” joked filmmaker Andy Ostroy. //// “It took us 20 years to lose in Vietnam. This dumb— did it in 100 days,” argued Army veteran Bruce Crossing. //// “Trump is tormented by jealousy of a superior human being,” opined veteran journalist John Harwood. “Obama’s superiority, as a president and a person, hurts Trump especially badly because he’s a huge racist and Obama is black.” //// “He’s so jealous of Obama opening his spectacular Obama Center tomorrow,” said the popular X user Susan in Delaware. “He’s obsessed with him. But this is awful on the global stage.” //// “Trump is always projecting. ALWAYS,” marveled activist and pundit Tara Setmayer.
And there we go. He is obsessed with Obama because he can never rise to that level, including the Peace Prize, which was for something that Trump tore up. His supposed replacement for the Obama treaty only shows how he failed. Heh. What is Petey Boy thinking about now – how to save his job? Because we all know the unspoken, that Bibi pushed for it and Hegseth helped. So he curses Obama, thinking it will make him look big with this Iran thing, and all it does is make him look like a small man who can’t do anything for himself and who tries to build himself up on the backs of the American people.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
