It doesn’t care, except about power

The orange baby just launched a war it won’t explain. None of the lickspittles in its cabal will explain it either. Here’s a possibility. The premises:

• Americans are coming to despise the orange baby, its pretend government, and its policies.
• The orange baby knows this, even though what it says is, as usual, just a bundle of nonsense fabrications.
• It also knows that there are elections coming up and it, and its backers, are (thanks to it) going to lose big.
• It will do anything to avoid losing.
• As a sociopath, it doesn’t give a shit about any person, or really anything except hanging on to the power it currently has.

The possibility: it started this war as a provocation, hoping (or, worse, actually plotting with its foreign counterparts) to goad Iran into a terrorist strike on the US. A strike that might enable the orange baby to avoid the (or any?) elections.

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. I shouldn’t be surprised, but she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.
