For my next trick, I will get the liberals to defend the Iranian regime...
If Donald Trump has a superpower, it is turning his opponents insane. As in literally out of their minds, incapable of rational thought. Raving maniacs.
Look at Bill Kristol, George Conway, anybody associated with the Lincoln Project, or among the NeverTrumpers. Rather than being able to explain their differences with Trump, they shout "No Kings" or some such claptrap. Conway actually created PsychoPAC, to advertise that Trump is insane.
Look in the mirror, dude.
Otherwise sane people blow a gasket when Trump's name comes up, and it inevitably does because Trump is the pole star in their navigation of life. If they stub their toe, it somehow goes back to Donald Trump.
With these people, it's not the what, but the who. The joke is that Donald Trump should praise breathing air, so these idiots put plastic bags over their heads, relieving us of the need to endure their incoherent rants.

I hadn't particularly noticed, but this particular affliction appears to have infected the Financial Times, leading to some screamingly stupid headlines.
Are you stupid? Are you people actually retarded? Have you replaced all your editors with the free version of ChatGPT from 2023? How could you possibly run something this ridiculous.

Are you stupid? Are you people actually retarded? Have you replaced all your editors with the free version of ChatGPT from 2023? How could you possibly run something this ridiculous.
The US and Israel have complete air superiority over Iran and have been bombing it nonstop for six weeks. Over 10,000 targets have been struck. Iran’s Air Force is gone. Its navy is gone. Most of its top military and intelligence leadership is dead. At least half and possibly as much as 90% of Iran’s ballistic missiles are exhausted or destroyed.
Did you see what happened in Isfahan last night?
How does a military get bombed 10,000 times and come out stronger? What kind of dumbass analysis from retards are you publishing?
Uh, wut? Whether you believe that the Iranian regime will survive our onslaught or not, there is no possible scenario in which the regime comes out stronger than it was before the war. It is literally impossible, since the vast majority of their military power has been wiped out, its factories to replace it are gone, its finances have been seized, its leadership has been wiped out, and even its ability to strangle shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is no greater than before the war, and is likely to be destroyed before Operation Epic Fury is done.
The Gulf Cooperation Council is unified against Iran, and China's oil supply lifeline is being squeezed.

The media has been trying to declare Iran the winner of the war from Day 1, and has been actively rooting for and spreading the propaganda of the Iranian Regime. Some specifically say that they trust the Iranians more than Trump, because a regime that hangs gay men in public, rapes and murders women for not wearing hijabs, and murders tens of thousands of protesters is better than Bad Orange Man.

I think it is perfectly fine, even helpful, for there to be vigorous debate about Trump's strategy or even the wisdom of taking on Iran. I think Trump was right, but I can see the other side.
But there is an actual PsyOp here to demoralize the Western alliance, and it has led some of our allies to impede our ability to conduct the war. They want us to lose. It's hard to see it otherwise when Spain and now France, both members of NATO, deny us transit through their airspace.

The propaganda is working. Support for the Iran war is low, and most Americans have little idea of how much progress has been made. Since when has a war against a regime as big as Iran taken only 4 weeks? What did you expect?
Trump has broken it. Now he owns it https://t.co/Vb5U7WDonG | opinion

The FT has repeatedly used the term "TACO" to describe Trump, which is of course completely at odds with the "Trump is a dictator" or "Trump is reckless" argument, but that doesn't matter. It's all Orange Man Bad.

Does Trump always chicken out, or does he shoot from the hip regardless of consequences?
Who cares. Orange Man Bad.
This angst is all about the "who"—Donald Trump—not the "what"—the war, or anything else. They hate Trump. Trump must fail.
Even if the world burns.
