An underlying motive for Trump to bomb Iran

[Chasstev365]

On has to remember that Trump is essentially a 13 year boy, who more than anything hates being made fun of. His military parade was a flop and made him look like a fool. The following probably went down in his adolescent mind:

"So they laughed at my military parade, huh? I'll show them how tough I am by hitting Iran BIGLY. "

1. That and it's a distraction from that big ugly bill

They intend on ramming through one way or the other.

2. Distraction

And the bombings of Iran gives BiBi a little shade so he can finish the job in Gaza.

3. Exactly. Now the Republicans who questioned him have to get in line

Never question a wartime president.

4. Along similar lines, I think he couldn't sit by and let Israel do our dirty work

He thinks attacking equals strength, and he couldn't sit by and let Israel look stronger (in his mind) than him. He thinks that makes him look weak.

For decades, Israel has been doing things on our behalf in that region and they take the heat and we can pretend we're not involved or responsible. It's a cynical but clever arrangement.

Donnie doesn't do clever. He has to feel like he's the biggest bully around, and I think he thought bibi was upstaging him, and he couldn't stand that. he had to step in and swing his little dick around so he can feel strong.

All he's done is put a target on us. It may take years, but this will be the basis for another 9/11 at some point.

5. Israel seems to be pretty willing to do that dirty work.

Nuttyyahoo leads Trump around by the nose.

6. Another one: He covets the 90% polls ratings the two BUSHes got after their adventures.

8. I guess I was in the 10% for the two Bushes' unnecessary wars

7. That and I think Putin is please as it distracts from Ukraine.

I so hope none of our allies help USA...Keep the focus on saving Ukraine straight and steady. Yea, Putin is in bed with Iran but he had tRump do his bidding for the benefits of taking focus off Ukraine....

There are many layers to this awful action....

USA will suffer serious attacks and losses soon I fear....

tRump is getting high off of this....

9. Yes. Trump does nothing if it does not benefit him PERSONALLY.

So the bombing is all about what is good for him on a personal level.

10. He's a dog waving tail. I hope he missed each target by a mile.

11. This is also a large distraction so everyone

forgets how their new budget is about to screw the peons.

12. This will reverse his poll numbers, Americans

always rally around the president when he bombs someone. I never heard anyone bring up the point he was the one that threw out the nuclear deal Obama made with Iran. It was a problem he created 7 years ago.
