"Air Force One did not fly empty. It carried Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Stephen Miller, Steven Cheung, other staff, military personnel and journalists.." Wondering if certain people now realize tRump considers them 'expendible'. tRump 'loyalty' only goes one way.

and his "staff" didn't know he wasn't taking a nap and not on plane. Subterfuge everywhere.

He did bring along White House aides: Natalie Harp, Walt Nauta and Dan Scavino

He needs Natalie Harp to be around to adore him and help him make his awful posts. We can see who he thinks is expendable.

Obama sent experts to negotiate with Iran. Felon 47 sent real estate bros with vibes and hair gel. Shocking how that went sideways.

Thank you for your level-headedness and humanity. People with deep experience in defense technology will inevitably have industry relationships, and connections are not kickbacks. Opposing oligarchy capture and opposing expertise are two radically different things.

Good time to mention how much it's cost to cancel contracts for renewable installations like windmills and solar. tRump hates windmills.

Much of the commentary has been that Trump has been taken by surprise at Iran's response. In fact, he was told in explicit detail exactly what was likely to happen if he attacked Iran (which is why previous presidents did not). Instead, he chose to believe Netanyahu's optimistic smoke, called by various of Trump's advisors "farcical" and "BS". Everything he was warned might happen has happened, & Iran is suggesting they might keep the Strait closed until the end of his term. This should spark outraged calls for Trump's resignation. He started a war that the people hate, without Congress' agreement, & has proceeded to lose it in a way that has left the US less safe, less respected, & responsible for serious economic stress in its former allies. Here's the substack post I read this morning:

Wonder if Karoline was on board? Strange that she has just resigned.
