For the first time in his life

Trump can't bully his way out. Can't intimidate his way out. His power has been reduced to zero. He has no cards, so to say, to play. Well only two. Invade Iran or cave to their demands. Both options not very good for him. But as they say, he has made his bed and must lay in it.

As in the past, he's willing to sacrifice anyone's kids but his not to lose face .

Maybe like the two year old he acts like, holding his breath has as much chance to work

I thought of the words lie and lay, but he has copyrighted them.

Note the before and after photos of this resting place.

On the way to our floors in the parking garage, there were two young women appearing to be in their mid 20's. They were both involved with military men, specifically, Marines. One's hubby was just entering boot camp. The other one her husband was already in the Corp. They were excited about their futures. As I left them I said to them I hope they don't get sent to Iran. Their mood turned.
