Trump is Weak...What Else is New?

The utter capitulation of President Trump to Iran is not only embarrassing, it’s dangerous. While credit should be given to him for being the only president to actually engage with and attack the Middle Eastern nation, he however displayed no concrete strategy and long-term solutions.

With him not going to Congress to express his interest in barraging the country with missiles, bombs, and rockets, he failed to bring an idealism of protocol. Properly, he should have petitioned the House and Senate to start the war. Since that didn’t happen, blood appeared in the water. With no idea that the Strait of Hormuz would be such a global quagmire at the hands of Trump because of his aggression against Iran, he brought no sense of power.

Instead, he fell to his knees and groveled at the Iranians for his role in making this war. His unofficial, timid cop out of a deal shows his weakness in all of this. He has displayed complete bungling in handling this entire war.

Tehran would have been demolished with the people of Iran being warned ahead of time. There should have been more bombardments in that city and other strongholds carrying weapons systems. There could have been a real opportunity to show America’s strength. Would have, could have, should have….While the military presented a stellar amount of professionalism and precision, the commander in chief flopped on the strategic end to guide the men and women in uniform to a profound and indisputable victory. The US surrendered like so many other leaders have done in the past. While Epic Fury looked like a decisive and powerful activity, there had been so many flaws and cracks in the system to say that it was a success. There have been so many people talking about the reality of how Trump never fully commits to anything, not even to himself. In the end he will be remembered for his actions of dropping to his knees and begging instead of standing up like a man and demanding that Iran scrap its whole nuclear program. He failed. It seems like Trump just fell short of the mark with the weakness of his character and the erosion of his morality. He might have started out in his life with ethics, but they slowly became corrupt over time. For him to make a deal with evil is the worst act of his presidency (so far).

What makes it even worse is that he said that America “gained.” Iran will grow in strength and keep to the ugliness of Trump’s deal. The feeble, mealymouthed agreement has been a sign of weakness on the part of the United States. Trump’s inability to foster a proper response to the agreement he will be a blight on his record. More importantly, there will be another slippage in the American system of governance on the world stage.

If this case goes any further, it will include the fact that Trump never had a solid plan. He could never get his mind together or his intestines in order to better comprehend the ramifications of the pleading and begging and asking for Iran to be nuclear free and a non-threat to America and its allies. While it appeared as if the War in Iran could have set a precedent for freedom and accelerated comprehension, such was impossible with a weak base which had been topped by complete concession.

Unless Trump or presidents who will follow him can fully and with absolute certainty and ironclad tactics demoralize Iran, we will always see the lessening of this great country. It doesn’t have to be. All that it takes is for the executive powers to never do a deal with the wicked and position America as a statue not with clay feet or a paper tiger but a spine with Rearden Steel in its back.
