The market has been a willing participant in being talked off the ledge generally... they've treated this like a normal Presidency and think that when he comes to bad decisions that he'll back off once the blowback occurs. At some point, one would think the fact that he's an irrational actor (to put it kindly) would break through and we'd get an "Emporer has no clothes" moment, but I'll believe it when I see it

This was all very predictable in that Presidents are often faced with events they cannot control. We all saw how he reacted (or decomposed rather) in the face of COVID. There are differences this time though, starting with the fact that this wasn't an act of God, it was a war of choice. His fingerprints are all over the metaphorical smoking gun and all of it, the conflict, the economic effects, the additional money per gallon on fuel, it's all on this decision

Isn't this level of management pretty much what was being implied of the latter part of the Biden Presidency by the media? The President's brains are pretty much a skillet of scrambled eggs at this point and, for some reason, barely anyone seems to notice

ABC isn't really a victory either, especially given how the Kimmel ordeal played out and how they have responded since

But maybe "MAGA" Americans should care about paying more at the pump... It's very weird, gladiator games ****

He's delusional if he thinks he unpopularity of this war is because of the media coverage

And, most importantly, it doesn't help the average American one iota.

Please explain in detail why this is worth the extra 60-80 cents on the gallon we are all paying at the pump. Won't hold my breath for a response

Maybe the President and Secretary Kegseth should demonstrate the safety of the Strait by boarding a vessel and riding across....

Just to step back for a second, the "pro-peace", "low gas price" President has now delivered us a war on the Middle East and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and as a result of this, we have now seen wholesale spikes in the price of gasoline and diesel fuel. And we still have yet to hear why exactly why any of this is happening. And on the "touching grass" front, given how the public increasingly sees this Presidency, would suggest that those who continue to cheerlead this thing on may be the ones who need to touch more grass

Almost like the internet troll is projecting just a bit...

Can anyone make heads or tails of this? He's not making any sense
