Following a controversial joke about the Pearl Harbor attack, Donald Trump confirmed that Japan declined his request to help secure the Middle Eastern Strait of Hormuz.
I think there’s a degree of ego there. If the “leader of the free world” can be an obvious moron and non-subtly evil, what does that say about whether they got whatever fancy job they have on merit?
The worst part is that he needed them to help with Hormuz, but MAGAs are ALL sociopaths (especially Trump), so they can only think about what is immediately important to them. At that moment, he had the irressistable impulse to insult a person, knowing it would be funny to his friends, and that would make him look better to them, so he went ahead and insulted her and her nation, a really dumb insult at that, not even funny like he intended.
But they never think about what comes next, the next step, the consequences. There is just the immediate satisfaction of landing an insult, without any regard for the fact that they are a human being, and aren’t going to appreciate being insulted and more than he would. So MAGAs are totally shocked when there is an unpleasant response, like Iran firing back at bases and infrastructure all over the Middle East. Never saw that coming?
These MAGAmorons always think they’re the smartest person in the room, when they can’t even resist the most basic impulse for self-destruction, even for something they really need. The problem is that America is getting tangled up in their self-destruction.
It’s literally just the type of person. My father is the same way. He’s the same age as Donald Trump, comes from the same area of the world and has the same misogynistic high School waspy elitism BS. I’ve had to yell at my father because he’s insulted people not to their faces but they’re 3 ft away and he says something about them that they can completely hear. Out of politeness they don’t say anything back. My mother died and we kept her car and it was having some problems. Wo brought it to the dealership so they could diagnose it and the service technician behind the counter was gay. So the guy speaks and had the gay lisp and what does my father do but say under his breath “wow that guy’s a little lite in his loafers.” Now he didn’t say it low enough so I only heard it he said it low enough where everyone within 10 ft heard it including the service tech. My father thought nothing wrong of his insult and it was rather proud of himself. When he was up next in line the service technician looked at him and said oh no you’re the other guy’s customer and then walked away from him, the other guy had three more people before my father. I just died laughing and I said to him “see Dad that’s what you get for being a rude asshole.”
Your Old Man was fully aware that he was saying that so that his victim would hear it. He just said it a little softer, so he could later claim that he didn’t mean for the guy to hear it, as if that’s any better.
Wasn’t a joke. He was intending offense by it. It was a childish rebuke
He was deflecting when a periodist asked him about why he didn’t warn US allies about the incoming attack
The media keeps sanewashing his crazy actions. None of this is sane.

There has been no consequences for them, so they don’t bother about it.
