No doubt Trump thought that attacking Iran and killing its leaders would help raise his continually flagging poll numbers. But remember, as our illustrious leader leaves all of us exposed to a counterattack, he will scurry off to his White House nuclear bunker for safety. How we vote really does have consequences, for us all.

Trump is a guy of bizarre whims. One day he wakes up and says to himself, 'let's rename the Kennedy Center after me', the next day he asks, 'who should the DOJ investigate today?' And then he decides: 'let's go to war with Iran.' Trump once said he makes decisions based on his "instincts." But these are the instincts of a madman, a Charlie Manson. Like Manson, Trump never carries it out himself, he just puts it in motion for others to do his dirty work. With both ending in slaughter.
