\u201cTo want to be someone else because that other person is everything that you<\/p>\n

are not\u2026is a painful way to live.\u201d Efal Revillot,\u00a0 19th<\/sup> Century Mexican mystic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that we have been feed a bowl full of political drivel by Trump and<\/p>\n

Lil\u2019 Marco Rubio regarding the recent fiasco of Trump declaring a memorandum<\/p>\n

Of Understanding that has been reached with Iran, let\u2019s all yell hooray!<\/p>\n

Truth of the matter is, those who are seasoned in foreign affairs and how<\/p>\n

diplomacy really works, are relating that the M.O.U. that Trump is puffed up<\/p>\n

about is actually worth about a two-week-old plate of baked beans left out in the<\/p>\n

sun.<\/p>\n

When you understand that a M.O.U. is simply a lazy way to say that two people<\/p>\n

met and have agreed to agree to say that water is wet and cows give milk. Nothing more\u2026nothing less.<\/p>\n

With the imbroglio of Trump\u2019s impulsive war nearing four months and counting,<\/p>\n

he is desperate, like a dying man needing a drink of water, to find any way out of this<\/p>\n

morass that he walked into with his blind guide Bibi Netanyahu\u00a0 leading him with a ring in his nose.<\/p>\n

Make no doubt about it. It was Bibi who was crafty and astute enough to know how to appeal to Trump\u2019s Grand Canyon size ego so as to convince him that going after the regime in Iran would be a, \u201cVenezuelan Cake Walk!\u201d<\/p>\n

And Trump, ever the mental midget that he is and with a megalomania attitude about his greatness, took the bait and ran off to make war on Iran under the guise that he was saving the world and Israel from a nuclear disaster.<\/p>\n

Now the proverbial chickens are coming home to roost in both the media and<\/p>\n

in public opinion that Trump\u2019s War was both a folly to begin with and can now be<\/p>\n

seen as a fool\u2019s errand.<\/p>\n

Once you understand that Trump\u2019s has an inordinate and intense jealousy<\/p>\n

of everything\u00a0 Obama\u2026even down to Obama\u2019s \u201cswag\u201d then you will understand why Trump tore up the prior in place JCPOA with Iran.<\/p>\n

That prior agreement was working but since Obama did it and neither Bibi or Trump liked it, it was crudely shelved and Trump and his clown car of inexperienced<\/p>\n

operators started their impulsive war with Iran under the guise of stopping nuclear proliferation.<\/p>\n

And as will become more evident than ever, Obama\u2019s prior negotiated deal\u2026not a M.O.U. was and is the standard by which Trump\u2019s gibberish will be judged since some of the same language in the discarded JCPOA is being bandied about in<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s two pager document.<\/p>\n

Trump has always had a fetish about Obama, be it his charisma, style, manner of<\/p>\n

speaking, intellect and connecting with people. All of the qualities that Trump<\/p>\n

drooled about but knew that he could never measure up to that stature of being a<\/p>\n

statesman and admired leader in the world.<\/p>\n

So, what does Trump do? He viciously attacks the JCPOA with lies and half truths while intimating that Obama was on the side of the Iranian regime. No proof, just hubris to cover his wounded image of himself as being a hollow man with no<\/p>\n

principles, no leadership skills who surrounds himself with likeminded flunkies who have no proven skills\u2026just slavish loyalty to a man-child posing as a president.<\/p>\n

And yet, this is what nearly half of America voted for a second term as president.<\/p>\n

A con man who spoke to their worst fears and lied about his ability to lead them to<\/p>\n

a promised, Make America Great Again land.<\/p>\n

Did not happen and it won\u2019t happen because the occupier of the White House loves only himself and the mirrors into which he lovingly gazes.<\/p>\n

Would America vote to put in the White House a convicted felon, an abuser of women, a racial cynic, a grifter of the first order, an insurrectionist who led a mob against his own government; a man who makes fun of the disabled and demeans veterans who are Black men or women?<\/p>\n

You know the answer.<\/p>\n

When this M.O.U. is fully understood and the financial outcome of its potential windfall to the Iranian government and whether or not it can come even close to the<\/p>\n

covenants of the discarded JCPOA, you again fully realize that Trump was and is<\/p>\n

not fit to be near any White House.<\/p>\n

Of course, who can forget the enablers of this wannabe dictator \u2013 the political parties that long ago lost their way and sold their souls to remain in power even if it meant losing their consciences and closing their eyes and ears to his incoherent ramblings.<\/p>\n

The GOP and right wing media pledged loyalty to this\u00a0 shrill of a person because they wanted to maintain their perches of money, power and influence at all costs and the American public is paying the price for such political treachery.<\/p>\n

It would not surprise me if Trump nightly wakes up in a cold sweat at 3 AM yelling at the ceiling, \u201cObama\u2026Obama, leave me alone!\u201d<\/p>\n
