Trump Humiliated

Netanyahu shows him who’s really the boss

Iran is rapidly turning into Trump’s personal Vietnam. He’s trapped in a quagmire with no easy way out, his popularity is falling even among his MAGA base and the costs are rising by the day.

Then late on Sunday June 7, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu added insult to injury by humiliating him in front of the eyes of the world.

One of Trump’s big failings has always been vomiting whatever thought is in his head at any given moment without any strategic thinking to back it up. That’s fine if you’re seated in a gold-plated office watching your casino go bust. When you’re President your words reverberate around the world and you’re judged by them.

Last night he made the error of babbling to journalists as Iran and Israel exchanged missile strikes. Netanyahu would do exactly what he said, he bragged. The fighting would stop.

Netanyahu ignored him.

Trump looked impotent, weak and wounded. However loud he shouted, no one was listening to him. It was the latest sign that all his old tricks — bullying and blustering and lying — have stopped working and that has enormous repercussions for his Presidency going forward.

Because without them, Trump has nothing else. The Great American Experiment to discover if someone with no discernible talent, expertise or intelligence can run the most powerful nation on earth is being tested to destruction.

Here’s how the events of the last 24 hours unfolded and what it means for Trump going forward to the Midterms.
