Did He do that on Purpose?

Trump at the UN

 I wonder who is really running the country. Trump asserted that Biden was asleep at the wheel, but Trump seems to be in a state of total dementia. Witness the embarrassing speech at the UN yesterday. 

Our President threatened to commit war crimes. He threatened to obliterate a society of 93 million people. 

At the United Nations, a meeting that should have been about ending the war in Ukraine became another opportunity for Donald Trump to talk about himself. Sitting beside Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he dominated the brief press conference, threatened Iran with obliteration, and then turned to his excitement about hosting President Xi and building a ballroom. Zelenskyy was there trying to secure peace for his country. Trump was talking about room capacity and the hottest ticket in town.(Hope for the Nation)

Is that who we, as a nation, have become? 

I think not. 

Our President is working for only himself and his family and not the good of the country and our people. We are sinking billions of our national treasure into a failed conflict. If he is such a good businessman, when does he begin to calculate that he is throwing good money after bad? 

Face it--he started a war and lost. The objectives, whatever they were, have not been achieved. 

And worse, our President is violating his oath of office by intentionally ignoring the 1st Amendment. 

Why?

To keep the news media from digging deeper into the Epstein Files, the corruption of the Trump Family as it fleeces the government, the failed Iran War, the failed promise to end the Ukraine-Russia war, failure to reduce inflation, failure to control prices and affordability. 

What is the common themes here? Corruption and failure. 

Think about it--even with the failed Iran War, had he ended the Ukraine-Russia war, diesel fuel would not be as expensive as it is! We would have dropped the Russian sanctions. Which makes me wonder, if there are sanctions against the Russians for oil, how is their lack of diesel production affecting the price, as Trump alleges?  

Does he lie on purpose? Or are his mental faculties so compromised that he doesn't know the difference?
