Critics of Donald Trump took to social media to trash the president’s bragging about his “great deal” with Iran that no other president before him could have accomplished.
Trump announced Sunday — right before his planned UFC fights on the White House lawn that coincided with his 80th birthday — that “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!”
As cathartic as it is to shit on him, I could also see the benefit of massive positive gaslighting in this instance.
“Yeah, you won! I didn’t think you could pull it off, but you scored one of the biggest wins in American history! Job well done!”
He’s a fucking lunatic and a coward that physically cannot admit wrongdoing, so let him take his obscenely fake W in the poll of public opinion and walk away from Iran, stop the slaughter, and let the adults stabilize the situation.
You could call it enabling, sure, but I think he’s more dangerous when his ego is assaulted and challenged.
I mean, he’ll take care of that. He doesn’t need help lying.
