Originally published at: For Trump, Emergency Cash from Congress Means Approval for More War - TPM – Talking Points Memo
Trump’s war on Iran is illegal. Congress hasn’t authorized it; administration officials are still struggling, two weeks in, to define why they started it and what they’re hoping to achieve. But there’s a way that the Trump administration could obtain a kind of approval from Congress — one that Presidents have used as a backdoor…
Does the supplemental include renaming the Strait of Hormuz the Strait of America?

Congress is moot. President Trump has already realized $18 trillion, possibly more, from tariffs and the seizure oil tankers in the Caribbean. War is good for the economy, and this war will bring great peace and prosperity. It will only cost $100 billion to $1 trillion, a small fraction of the $18 trillion from tariffs. President Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for Economics, the Nobel Prize for Oil, Gas, and Energy, and also the Nobel Prize for Peace for his leadership and wisdom.

The real problem, and it does not matter if you are talking about taxes, tariffs, immigration, Ukraine, the war with Iran, or any issue;
the problem is Donald Trump and his administration are NOT serious.
It is all a game to them, “what can we get away with”? And that is really the only issue of the Trump administration, what can they get away with.
The affects on America, its people or the world are not a concern of Trump or his administration. They only play the child’s game of “we can do anything we want and nobody can stop us”.

If Trump wants additional money for the Iran Excursion he better get it now. Right now we are at the height of voter approval for Trump’s Iran War. It is under water with a 41% approval rating and 55% disapproval (New York Times, March 11.) If the war continues and gas prices keep going up those numbers will just get worse and worse for Trump. I bet the Iranians think if they choke oil at the Strait of Hormuz long enough Trump will TACO and they will win the war.
There is a reason no President has gone to war with Iran in the last 47 years. Trump has been too poorly advised to realize why.

I would bet on both the TACO and the win happening.

Unfortunately his neck seems to have stopped rotting.
You’re exactly correct on this. They are only responsible for making the orange asshole look good and he is only responsible to himself. It is a game totally removed from reality. Subsequently, they put out AI generated videos mocking us, dumping shit on us like it’s all a game. Very sick indeed and very dangerous for the whole world right now.
