Iran is closing the trap on Donald Trump

Oil prices are rising sharply into economically deadly territory, as Donald Trump unwisely escalates his confrontation with Iran, in a forlorn hope of some kind of impossible, ultimate victory over the new masters of the Middle East. Now infrastructure throughout the Middle East is being attacked by both sides. Potentially, oil prices could rise to 200 dollars, even 300 dollars a barrel, if this escalates, unchecked. While, for the moment, this has not caused the collapse of GOP support in the elections in November -- indeed, the GOP has closed the gap with the Democrats by a point or two, perhaps because of aggressive public messaging by Trump himself, who knows he is, quite literally fighting for his life now against Iran -- how long can GOP support be sustained, once it becomes clear to all Americans that Donald Trump is destroying the entire economy by his unnecessary and pointless saber rattling in the Middle East? Today, we see an attempt at recovery in the Stock Markets being stifled by rapidly rising oil prices worldwide. The markets are literally going "tilt, tilt" as the price of oil makes economic recovery impossible. Will Americans, even Republicans, really want to see this continue, as Donald Trump single-handedly destroys their livelihoods, and probably even his own? I suppose anything is possible, but, actually, I sincerely doubt it. Iran is closing the trap on Donald Trump, a trap he created for himself, through his own arrogance, and stupidity. #politics #geopolitics #economics
