You have already heard about Trump's allowing foreign slaughterhouse floor leavings – he styles these "lean trimmings" – to be fed into the hamburger supply for the next 90 days, sans tariffs, so as to temporarily (and slightly) reduce the cost of ground goy slop so as to (it is hoped) get the goyim to vote Republican in the midterms.

Now come the next short-term con.

Trump wants to allow – there's that word again – so-called "winter" gas (which is less volatile than "summer" gas, to reduce evaporative emissions during the warm months) to be available a whole  two weeks sooner than usual. Why? Because "winter" gas tends to cost a little less than "summer" gas and Trump and his minions think the goyim will sing the Lee Greenwood song – and pull the lever for Republicans – if the cost of gas goes down a few cents ahead of the midterms.

It is as likely to work as the fit-for-dog-food "lean trimmings" that might temporarily reduce the cost of hamburger a few cents before the midterms.

You know what might have worked better, Mr. President? Not starting a war with Iran. You got the goyim to vote for you by pretending to agree that these wars for Israel are disastrous for Americans and that you would be the "peace president." Yet you chose to start another one – a far more consequential one – and because of that, gasoline costs (as of September 3) about $4.15 on average, nationally. That's up by about 15 cents since you resumed the bombing after your failed economic war failed to accomplish the defeat you had intended to achieve by bombing them in the first place.  This time, instead of bombing a girls' school, you bombed a wedding and killed more kids.   

Astoundingly – effronterously – you say that if the Iranians respond – if they defend themselves – they will be "wiped out as a country," hinting bluntly that you might use weapons of mass destruction against a country you claimed was working to develop them, echoing The Chimp all those years ago.

You are a profoundly sick, evil man. You threaten mass murder. You plot (and carry out) the assassination of foreign leaders, under the rubric of "negotiating" with them. You deliberately target and murder – yes, that's the word – schoolgirls and accuse the Iranians of "war crimes." Your incandescent, thoughtless arrogance precludes you from walking back your mistakes; instead, you double down on them.
