SUMMARY: Trump’s a narcissist. It is all you need to know about him. He thinks he’s a genius, never wrong, and exceptions will be made for him. It’s one thing when he runs a casino, it’s another when he’s losing in the war crimes duel with Iran, and he’s in charge of the nukes. We should all be very worried. It will only get worse and more dangerous from here.

The Pundits’ Hot Takes on Trump in Iran
The Orange Caricature has got the pundits all wringing their pearls and clutching their hands on their fainting couches because he has called off his super big attack on Iran and spared them the new war crimes. He says they are giving him everything he wants and he’s got them right where every tough guy wants the every bratty smart-mouthed punk in the world. That’s right, right where he wants them!
Now the pundits are all smarmy as they rend their clothing and scrape their boils with broken pottery shards because they can all drop the same hot take: “Market manipulation! Just in time for the weekend!” “I said it first!” “No, I said it first!” “Well, now he’s crying wolf!” “That’s so last week.” Ladies, puhlease.
We are all convinced that Trump is up to his sticky ass in his quagmire and has no idea how to get out. We are all assured with absolute certainty that Trump went into his excursion into war crimes with no real plan.
Pshaw! He had a plan. He’s a narcissist. Of course, he had a plan.
Here was his plan. Are you ready because I’m going to tell you his plan, so make sure you’re ready.
Trump’s Iran Plan
Iran would surrender unconditionally, just ask Netanyahu.
What else would his plan be? He’s a narcissist! He’s the world’s stupidest jenius. He’s on par with Alexander the Great and Napoleon. He’s going to conquer Persian just like Napoleon did! He’s not going to get bogged like Alexander was in Russia! What do you take him for, some kind of ignoranimus?
He would bomb them. They would surrender. The world would worship at his feet. And, that, my friends, would be that.
Trump’s Iran Narcissistic Wound
That it isn’t that is one of the worst narcissistic wounds that he’s ever been dealt. As negotiations fell apart and the memorandum of understanding was twisted into misunderstanding, El Gran Jefe Estúpido burst into an explitive laden rant in the Oval Office. Later, in the week he called a Fox News show and threatened to “bomb the fucking shit out of them,” if I’ve filled in the blanks properly.
Apparently, cooler heads prevailed at the White House, meaning someone showed him oil future prices, and he decided to call it all off claiming that Iran was back in a talking mood. When asked about it, Trump said, “All they do is make me angry, you know, they just make me angry.”
Trump’s Projection onto Iran
And he projectile vomited his projections all over them saying: “[T]hey do lie and they do misrepresent.” “Sure, little bit. (Iran will) get weaker, they’ll get a little stronger maybe now, but they’ll get weaker and then they peter out. Yeah sure, I think so. I mean, it would be foolish to say no.” And clearing up any misunderstandings about his goals, “Well, I think we just want to win, you know, we just want to win.”
Trump’s Gaslighting about Iran
Trump is a one trick pony. All he’s got is bullying and bombast. He’s a narcissist, so all he can do is dish out narcissistic abuse, which is just controlling the narrative through fear, intimidation, and endless mind-numbing repetition. It works really well on individuals and small groups, like families and offices. Surprisingly, Trump has been able to gaslight the MSM. But, it doesn’t work on other countries with agendas and armed forces of their own. They don’t think they’ve just given away their nuclear program and reopened the Strait of Vermouth because Trump social mediaed about it.
MAGA, the stock market, and the legacy media may eat that shit up and report on it like its the best thing since ice cream, but Iran isn’t. A country that has been at war with Netanyahu for nearly fifty years just isn’t that easy to push around.
Trump’s Final Solution for his Iranian Narcissistic Wound
So, what’s a narcissist to do when a country inflicts a devastating narcissistic wound upon them? They must destroy them. Iran must be utterly destroyed. It’s why his stupid military jenius plan was to do a massive strike on them.
One big problem with that plan, my friend. We ain’t got the ordinance to do it with. We done used all the big guns up. I’m sure his best generals who he’s smarter than are all telling him that the magazine is empty. Nothing left but a few grains of gun powder and some iron filings.
You know what that leaves, right? Nukes.
He’s a narcissist. Of course, he thinks he should be able to nuke Iran. In our fist trip around this clownish carousel, didn’t he openly question why we didn’t use our nuclear weapons since we had them? You really think he hasn’t wanted to use them for the past three months? That he isn’t chomping at the bit to use them now?
He would nuke them tomorrow if the generals — It would be the generals, right? Not Pete Kegsbreath or Jamoke Dumbass or Marco Cubio, right? — would let him.
We all joke about HIM having he nuclear codes, but the longer his excursion in to war crimes goes on and the more frustrated he becomes over it, the more he’s going to see going nuclear as being absolutely necessary.
Still think we shouldn’t impeach and remove him from office?

“Still think we shouldn’t impeach and remove him from office?”
Whatchoo mean “we”???
His lackeys in the Senate couldn’t be arsed to convict him after his attempted coup on January 6th 2021, when the nation was newly stunned by the illegal violence against Congress, what kind of fantasy world are you in the you could imagine we could do this now?
Yes, I THINK he should have been removed from office the FIRST time he was impeached, but what I think (or what any other the 174 million registered voters in the US think) it all depends on what 100 rich white guys in the Senate think about the matter.
Well what 99 rich white guys think ( McTurtle in Shroedingers Box may or may not be thinking at all)
Howdy Bruce!
I don’t think that the Republicans would impeach or remove Trump, but that doesn’t mean we oughtn’t try. Earlier I had published a post encouraging people to call their MoC to demand impeachment and removal and speculated that if the eight million who marched in the No Kings rallies would call, then we could see some movement. Republicans would do it, if they thought it would mean they would be reelected. Getting them to that point is the heavy lift.
If the threat of Trump nuking Iran were taken seriously enough, then they might. If Trump actually did nuke Iran, I think they’d have to, especially since Sister Lindsey is gone.
Huzzah!

Will he? It might depend on how profitable the Pump & Dump insider trading scheme continues to be. On the other hand, if he starts talking seriously about nuking Iran, there will be reactions from all directions and it just might be the final straw for many on Capital Hill about impeachment and removal. And, the “launch codes” don’t actually light up the rockets, and most of those rockets are aimed and programmed at other adversaries. IDK how quick and easy it is to reset them on a new target. Would the generals obey? Or, if the civilian politicians don’t act, might they do more than just refuse to obey?
Howdy Bob!
I think the narcissistic wound of not being able to get Iran to surrender a la Venezuela outweighs any money he can make off of the markets. The impact of his peace is around the corner announcements has been substantially lessened, for one.
If they nuke Iran, it will be with tactical weapons. I don’t think they can use ICBMs for a variety of reasons. They would have to shift them out of Europe or North America, which probably would be noticed by somebody. Otherwise, I doubt they telegraph the move very clearly. Trump might say something awkward, but most people won’t pay it enough attention to make a difference. Even if reporters and Republicans start asking questions, they’ll deny it until after the fact. They could easily get away with it as long as Trump doesn’t give the order on social media or Hegseth doesn’t use Telegram to organize it.
Huzzah!
Jack
That “as long as” is a real weak point. It could be both given the habits of those two.
Rather than moving whole tactical nuclear artillery units, using air launched weapons would be the quick and stealthy way to go.
Jack excellent post my friend. You hit the nail on the head….BiBi snuggled up to BiBi and bought the lies that tool has been spreading for years. Then there is his idiots Pistol Pete and Little Marco will do whatever their idol wants……Donny is afraid of the ICC that is why he wants them banned…..for he is committing war crimes as well as BiBi….they need to pay. chuq
Howdy Chuq!
All Trump’s enemies must pay. The list is long and getting longer. Unfortunately, it includes you, me, the rest of the country, and the entire world. The biggest problem is that Trump can’t conceive of the world not being exactly as it is now and that his corruption and grifting will change the world significantly from what it is now. He doesn’t realize he’s killing the cash cow that lays the golden egg!
Huzzah!
Jack
Jack we can only hope that these policies will eventually bite him in the ass. chuq
