Translation: Trump didn't think.
Thinking is an undiscovered territory for president Trump.

He got suckered into this war by his advisors, by the Israeli's who are always eager to attack any Arab state anywhere in the middle east, and by certain Arab nations that paid him/his family billions to do it.
And now, the only real winner in this war is Russia, who got their sanctions lifted and are free to market their oil anywhere at an incredibly inflated price.
In the mean time, and I do mean mean, the US and the whole world get hammered with higher fuel prices, higher food prices, and higher manufacturing prices for any goods that are affected by the price of oil...which is just about everything.

So now we can see how the whole MAGA movement has been just one big sucker deal for the brain dead zombies that comprise it. Trump and his enablers played on their fears and the big mess we're in is the result.
