Trump Has Really, Seriously, Frighteningly Lost His Mind

His latest threat is bonkers

Trump told reporters on Monday, April 6 that unless Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz, “every bridge in Iran will be decimated” and “every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again,” adding that “the entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.”

What about international law, which prohibits nations from destroying civilian infrastructure? What about Trump’s repeated assurance that the United States has already “obliterated” the danger Iran poses?

The biggest absurdity here is that Trump is now focusing his war’s endgame on Iran’s willingness to open the strait. But the strait was open before Trump attacked Iran on February 28. Iran blocked it in retaliation for that attack.

Iran said it will reopen the strait only if it gets a guarantee that it will not be attacked again, if Israel ends its strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the U.S. lifts all economic sanctions on Iran. Sounds as if Iran believes it has more bargaining power now than it did before Trump began his war.

Trump also made a stunning admission. “If it were up to me,” he said, “I’d take the oil, I’d keep the oil, it would bring plenty of money.” But he’s not going to do that, he said, because “unfortunately the American people would like to see us come home.”

Hello? Trump is already blaming the American public for his failure to achieve his objectives in Iran.

The problem isn’t that the American public wants this war to end. It does, but most of the public was against the war from its start.

The basic problem is we have a commander-in-chief who took the nation into this unwinnable war for reasons he never articulated, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the strait in retaliation, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.

What if Iran refuses to reopen the strait by Trump’s deadline? Has he really thought through the consequences if he goes through with his threat — likely thousands of Iranian civilians deaths? And what then? Has he thought through what happens if he doesn’t go through with his threat and loses still more credibility?

The problem underlying all this is we have a president who is no longer thinking straight. As Senator Chris Murphy posted, Trump “is completely, utterly unhinged. He’s already killed thousands. He’s going to kill thousands more.”

How do we deal with this underlying problem? Murphy suggests the 25th Amendment, section four of which authorizes the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet, or the vice president and a majority of an “other body” created by Congress, to declare a president “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” Doing so would elevate the vice president to acting president.

It won’t happen soon, but if Trump continues to deteriorate — subjecting Americans to ever-higher prices and ever-greater dangers — Republicans won’t have any alternative. Neither will America.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s former assistant director for counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi posted: “The American president has lost his mind.”

Journalist Steven Beschloss wrote: “This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power.”

Trump ha perdido la cabeza de verdad, en serio y de manera aterradora

Su última amenaza es una auténtica locura

Trump declaró a los periodistas el lunes 6 de abril que, a menos que Irán reabra el estrecho de Ormuz, «todos los puentes de Irán serán diezmados» y «todas las centrales eléctricas de Irán quedarán fuera de servicio: ardiendo, explotando y sin poder volver a utilizarse jamás»; y añadió que «todo el país puede ser aniquilado en una sola noche, y esa noche podría ser mañana por la noche».

¿Qué hay de la legislación internacional, que prohíbe a las naciones destruir infraestructuras civiles? ¿Qué hay de la reiterada afirmación de Trump de que Estados Unidos ya ha «aniquilado» el peligro que representa Irán?

El mayor absurdo de todo esto es que Trump centra ahora el desenlace de su guerra en la disposición de Irán a abrir el estrecho. Pero el estrecho ya estaba abierto antes de que Trump atacara a Irán el 28 de febrero. Irán lo bloqueó como represalia por dicho ataque.

Irán ha declarado que solo reabrirá el estrecho si recibe la garantía de que no volverá a ser atacado, si Israel pone fin a sus ataques contra Hezbolá en el Líbano y si Estados Unidos levanta todas las sanciones económicas impuestas a Irán. Da la impresión de que Irán cree tener ahora un mayor poder de negociación que antes de que Trump iniciara su guerra.

Trump hizo también una confesión asombrosa. «Si por mí fuera —dijo—, me llevaría el petróleo, me quedaría con el petróleo; eso generaría muchísimo dinero». Sin embargo, afirmó que no lo hará porque, «lamentablemente, el pueblo estadounidense desearía vernos regresar a casa».

¿Hola? Trump ya está culpando a la opinión pública estadounidense de su fracaso a la hora de lograr sus objetivos en Irán.

El problema no es que el pueblo estadounidense quiera que esta guerra termine. Ciertamente lo desea, pero la mayor parte de la población se opuso a la guerra desde sus inicios.

El problema fundamental es que tenemos un comandante en jefe que arrastró a la nación a esta guerra imposible de ganar por motivos que nunca llegó a articular; sin una estrategia sobre cómo responder si Irán hacía lo previsible —cerrar el estrecho como represalia—, y sin una estrategia de salida en caso de que Irán no se rinda.

¿Qué ocurrirá si Irán se niega a reabrir el estrecho para la fecha límite fijada por Trump? ¿Ha sopesado realmente las consecuencias de cumplir su amenaza —probablemente, la muerte de miles de civiles iraníes—? ¿Y qué pasaría entonces? ¿Ha reflexionado sobre lo que sucedería si no cumple su amenaza y pierde aún más credibilidad? El problema subyacente a todo esto es que tenemos un presidente que ya no piensa con claridad. Tal como publicó el senador Chris Murphy, Trump «está completa y absolutamente desquiciado. Ya ha matado a miles. Va a matar a miles más».

¿Cómo abordamos este problema de fondo? Murphy sugiere recurrir a la 25.ª Enmienda, cuya cuarta sección autoriza al vicepresidente —junto con la mayoría del Gabinete, o bien junto con la mayoría de un «otro organismo» creado por el Congreso— a declarar que un presidente es «incapaz de desempeñar los poderes y deberes de su cargo». De procederse de este modo, el vicepresidente asumiría el cargo de presidente en funciones.

No sucederá a corto plazo; pero si el estado de Trump continúa deteriorándose —sometiendo a los estadounidenses a precios cada vez más elevados y a peligros cada vez mayores—, los republicanos no tendrán otra alternativa. Tampoco la tendrá Estados Unidos.

Frank Figliuzzi, ex subdirector de contrainteligencia de la Oficina Federal de Investigaciones (FBI), publicó: «El presidente estadounidense ha perdido la cabeza».

El periodista Steven Beschloss escribió: «Esta es una publicación real. No tiene nada de gracioso. Es algo más que desesperado. Se trata de un hombre profundamente perturbado que no debería estar ni remotamente cerca de los resortes del poder».
