Just like with everything else, his Art of the Deal leaves us with less than what we had before.

    They did game theory and bet on trump being stupid. That’s probably as much as them being in on it was.

    Occum’s razor is a useful tool. As well as the saying “don’t attribute to malice to what can be attributed to ignorance”

      “don’t attribute to malice to what can be attributed to ignorance”

      This can be referred to in short hand as Hanlon’s razor

      Whether it was Trump being stupid, Trump sabotaging the country, or Trump coordinating with them directly – I’m not even sure that matters so much, but it is very clear that Iran, Russia, and Israel are all better off now than they were before the strikes. Which to me tracks for Trump selling off America.

      Also can we stop pretending that Trump is actually making these decisions and isn’t a sock-puppet letting his administration run things? Did we not see the article where JD Vance was running the show in the Situation Room? Do we not yet understand that this administration is being run by the surrounding psychopaths?
