Elon Musk is on the verge of becoming the world's first trillionaire. His personal wealth will amount to more than 1.1 trillion dollars. A trillion dollars is one million million dollars, one thousand billion dollars. There are less than ten thousand hours in a year. So one would have to dispose of one million dollars every hour for well over a century just to spend so much money. And yet this fellow - this clever capitalist - still has not realized or does not appreciate the fact that accumulation of so much money by a single person means that countless other persons will not have even their bare survival needs met.

Looking for a word
Odious does not cover it. Perhaps pernicious. Donald Trump lives as if virtue is a vice, and vice a virtue. He is a blight on Planet Earth.

Trump's military genius
Once again TACO Baby lets his cowardly and malevolent intellect shine. Instead of Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz, US warships will do the same thing. Why should Iran get the "glory" of driving global oil prices up (for the benefit of Russia?) when the USA can bear that responsibility... and maybe simultaneously starve some Iranian civilians?

Non compos mentis
With a POTUS (a President of the US) who is clearly no longer in control of his own mind... basically insane... the next three years should prove very interesting... unless Trump is somehow removed from office in an unprecedented fashion.
Talk about desperation at the White House!
First it was the Iran war to distract from Jeffrey Epstein. Now it is Jeffrey Epstein to distract from the Iran war.

Of course it's a victory for Iran
Iran has weathered a brutal attack by one of the world's biggest bullies and its proxy in the Middle East. How can that not be deemed a victory? Furthermore, the United States... or at least the U.S. Government has been exposed as having genocidal intent, framing both this war of aggression as fundamentally unprovoked and tending to justify anything that Iran now does (including the acquisition of nukes and retaining control over the Strait of Hormuz) as prudently defensive. Though an elderly, radical-religious government in Iran was deposed (brutally), a younger (but probably no less radical-religious) government has come in its place. And meanwhile, Iran retains a similar and proportionate military strength in the region, temporarily degraded but certainly not destroyed. So where is there any victory for Israel or the United States? Bibi and TACO Trump have only done the world and their own countries an obscene disservice.

Well duh!
Baby Trump writes: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will." Even a 5-year old can work out the ethics of such a proposition. If something you intend to do is likely to destroy an entire civilization, then you simply don't do it. It's a no-brainer. Hopefully, the American military will demonstrate a greater moral compass and more common sense than their Commander-In-Chief.
