Oil futures took a bounce upward on that speech. Not reassured at all.

Didja notice that when Trump finished blathering he forgot to leave the podium? Did his nurse fail to come out and get him? 🤦🏼‍♂️

The orange idiot offered nothing but more BS in his speech. He should RESIGN!!

Donald Trump lies with the confidence of someone who’s never been burdened by the truth.

Basically Trump decided to cause chaos, mayhem, death, destruction, disruption, dissension, depletion of resources, & decades of hatred and mistrust from friends and foe in the Middle East and beyond, then walk away while telling the world he expects them to clean up his mess.

We literally have to pay more for gas because Trump’s speech sucked. It’s a Shitty Speech Tax.

Was the point of Trump’s speech tonight to show the nation how badly he’s deteriorated with more slurred, low energy, incoherent, nonsensical rambling?

If so, mission accomplished.

Trump called for a primetime address to the nation on the Iran War and then just repeated all the same tired shit he says every day. But the networks all carried it live so he accomplished that I guess.

There is no reason for Iran to keep it closed. They want to sell their oil too.

Now, Iran may make some demands of its neighbors who aided the US in attacking.

Game over. Dimdonniedipshit exposed

himself to the world as the deranged NAZI imbecilic war criminal he is.

Hope he stands trial real soon as the dementia is caught up to him.
