The question continues to be asked: Why did Donald Trump order an attack on suspected nuclear sites in Iran so soon after claiming he was going to wait for two weeks before taking any action?
Reportedly, even some high-ranking members of the administration had serious doubts that Iran was anywhere close to having the ability to produce a nuclear weapon.
So, again: Why now? What was the rush?
According to Donald’s niece, Mary, the attack was tied to an insult that had been circulating for a few weeks.
Writing in her “The Good in Us” newsletter yesterday, she explained that her uncle’s “fragile ego” can be blamed for the attack.
“It is long past time that we stop imputing some deeper or reasonable motives to Donald Trump. Despite being depraved and cruel, much like his cohort Benjamin Netanyahu, he is driven by the most primitive impulses that center almost solely around protecting his fragile ego from humiliation (about which he has a pathological terror) and himself from the reality that he is a complete fraud.”
“Donald is still no doubt stinging from the acronym recently coined to mock his inability to follow through on anything—TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out. In the wake of Israeli strikes against Iran, Donald spent a few days saber-rattling only to back off (chicken out, if you will) in the wake of searing criticism by some of the most reliably sycophantic members of his cult—e.g. Rep. Marjorie Green (R-GA), Alex Jones, and Steve Bannon. He announced at a bizarre press conference that his decision to address the ostensibly urgent crisis regarding Iran would be put off for two weeks.”
“Only two days later, he ordered the attack on Iran. His allies would have us believe that Donald, a brilliant strategist, was faking us out. Sure. An infinitely more plausible explanation is that, on the one hand, he hates being challenged or contradicted, especially from those who almost always fall in line; therefore, he felt the need to double-down on his threats by carrying them out. On the other hand, Donald is a desperate black hole of need—by changing the narrative, he could make sure the spotlight turned back on him.”
In other words, Donald Trump may have gotten us into yet another war in the Middle East simply because his ego was wounded.
A man who makes military decisions based on selfish temper tantrums cannot be trusted to lead U.S. forces. Such a person is a threat to the national security of the entire planet.
