Ever since Trump began running for president in 2015, it was obvious he was BS'ing--that he did not & would not do the necessary homework to actually understand the issues and make genuinely informed decisions. This war with Iran is the deadly consequence of his ignorance, laziness and narcissism.

Dow down 1000 points oil prices up 8%
Straits Hormuz closed
6 Americans dead
Americans told to leave 14 countries
Two US embassies closed
Sadly Hegseth and Trump have no clue what they are doing and no answer to the question β€˜now what?’
And it is only Tuesday we weep

Of course they have no plan

If so what is it
Wishing and hoping ain’t a military plan

BREAKING: SCOTUS holds in a 6-3 decision that Trump's tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are not authorized as he exceeded his authority.
