It now should be evident that Trump initiated his various capers such as the Venezuelan attack, the plan to take over Greenland, various other idiotic moves, including the Iranian War to delay the release of the Epstein files. He continues to order his staff to continue the cover up which interrogations by Congress have yet unearthed.
Putin with whom Trump has a continuing love affair allowed Trump with the start of the Iran War to remove sanctions on his oil putting money in his pocket to help sustain his weakened Ukrainian attacks.
Putin must really have some information which Trump does not want released. Turns out that Epstein had very close relations with Russia which enabled him to have the use of many young Russian women for his sex operation which doubtless were photographed by his many cameras.
The Iran war has now been going for 4 weeks, which now has produced negative reactions from everybody involved, including both US political parties, NATO allies, Middle Eastern countries, and, as stated above proved good for Russia as Trump removed the ban on oil purchases from that nation, which affects Ukraine and others
In partnering with Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu, Trump was not aware that starting this war would involve the choking off 20% of world’s oil supply with the closing of the Straits of Hormuz.
Trump is now virtually checkmated, as he cries for our NATO allies and others to help him open the impasse!!! Trump keeps lying that our NOTO allies never helped us under Article 5 of the treaty, but the only time NATO promised to defend any member occurred with the 9/11 tragedy.
Was the Iran War too big a deal to fail?

It does not matter to him if all of these matters pile up because the GOP Congress seemingly will never call him on his crimes.
Now, with the resignation of Joe Kent, an avid Trump appointee, head of the US Counterintelligence department, saying the Iran war was wrong, it got not much media attention, and Trump said he didn’t know Kent well.
His power to have people do his bidding is obviously ebbing away, but his efforts to keep voters he considers hostile from voting continue.
With months to go before the midterm elections many events could occur that would let him off the hook again but as gas prices continue to mount and more and more people recognize his lying and his ultimate egocentricity, he could well be sustained until the midterms.
And don’t forget that those Epstein files continued to implicate our president whose fright as their complete release has become so apparent to everyone. Every time more information gets released, Trump has had the incentive of doing something that will keep those files from coming out and ending his career.
As the governor of Illinois stated on CNN this week, Trump is obviously suffering from dementia which apparently means nothing to the GOP Leadership as he starts wars at every opportunity or now as he is planning to take over Cuba.

Clearly, the stranglehold that the rich, powerful oligarchs have on our democracy will continue because they see the possibility of gaining ultimate control of our democracy as very plausible and in fact is already nearly in place.
As the governor of Illinois stated on CNN this week, Trump is obviously suffering from dementia which has meant nothing has or likely will be done to curb his insanities by the GOP Leadership.
Knowing the future is impossible even though the extreme circumstances which have developed during the Trump years demand action. I would certainly welcome any guesses from my readers as to what heaven is before the midterm elections.
