Exhausting

chris_gerribI find Trump to be exhausting. The constant twists and turns of "policy" drive me nuts. Example:
1) Go to war with Iran, apparently because Israel thinks it's a good idea.
2) Iran starts blowing our shit up because that's what you do when you're at war.
3) Oil prices spike because some of that shit what's blowing up is oil or the infrastructure needed to move it.
4) Trump says "we'll protect oil" (from the threat we created).
5) Oil money-people call bullshit, largely because they know how hard it would be to provide said protection.
6) Gas prices go up.
7) Now Trump is hinting that he'll just declare victory and go home. I guess that's easy if you have no idea why you went to war in the first damn place.
The problem is that Iran is now being led by the son of the guy we killed. Oh, we also killed his wife and a son. So now your gas prices depend on his charity.
