The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Ever notice, Trump the God's public pronouncements wrt Iran are much like his public pronouncements wrt Covid?

Remember how, in 2020, he kept saying it will be over quickly? First, it would be over by the end of March, then mid April, then Memorial Day, then the 4th of July. Quick and easy fixes, Hydroxychloroquine, or Ivermectin, or mainlining bleach, or shoving a UV light up your kazoo, or Covid would go away on it's own. "it's a hoax". "It's no worse than the flu".

Same thing now. Minimize the threat. Minimize the disruption. He declares victory about every other day. He threatens another escalation to make Iran surrender. It will be quick. It will be cheap, in the long run. He knows what we Proles don't know. He understands what we Proles don't understand.

This is a hot one. Did God and Savior Trump give Biden a moment's "grace" on anything?

Trump Official Says Americans ‘Have To Offer The President Grace’ On Rising Prices

“Well, we haven’t seen a significant spike in tickets because of this conflict,” Duffy said. “Now, Scott Kirby from United said he could see oil prices go up to $170. I think airlines do well when they plan for the worst and hope for the best. So, that’s what I think is happening there.”

“But I think we have to offer the president grace,” Duffy said, continuing:

Duffy added, “So, again, this is a long-term strategy that’s going to make everyone better off and, I think, the economy stronger.”
