We will probably never learn what is contained in the witches' brew of pharmaceuticals Donald Trump uses to keep himself up all night. It's probably safe to assume meth amphetamines aren't included since one of the chief side effects of meth is weight loss, something our man in the White House has never been afflicted with. If yesterday and early today proved anything, whatever the unholy concoction is, it works.
After last night's gladiatorial festival held at the White House, within two hours of the last fight, Trump hit the road to Geneva. He arrived there this morning to attend the G-7 conference and possibly personally sign a peace deal with Iran which is scheduled for Friday. The bloodletting on the south lawn didn't end until a little after one am. However, the President, still pumped from all the violence held in honor of Flag Day and not coincidently his 80th birthday--and no doubt those mysterious drugs--continued posting on social media all through the early morning hours.
Most had to do with the fight itself. One read, "The weather was supposed to be horrendous, and it turned out PERFECT! So much for weather predicting." Of course, El Don can't tell the whole truth to save his life. One of the reasons the fights ran well past midnight was because bad weather delayed their start for 45 minutes. When it came to the combat itself, the President wrote, "Most people have never seen anything like that kind of human power and speed before. The White House never looked more beautiful."
One supposes a huge industrial steel arc of lighting, tiers of temporary seating, and a canvas covered stage surrounded by cyclone fencing can be considered beautiful. Others, however, might think the entire scene a crudely offensive affront to both Presidential and national dignity. But hey, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Meanwhile, Trump's long awaited peace deal was announced. At least that it is being billed as. No one is quite sure what is in it because the details haven't been released to the media. In fact, the President and Vice President made sperate statements which differed on details just enough it made the situation a tad murky.
The morning Mr. Trump told everyone ships were beginning to move through the Strait of Hormuz, although it isn't clear if it has been completely swept clean of Iranian mines. The Donald made the announcement with all the pride of a conquering hero. This didn't deter some cynics from pointing out the strait was closed only because of Trump and Netanyahu's war in the first place. Others were quick to remark on rumors that the agreement included freeing up around $300 million in Iranian cash assets which had been frozen. If true, it put the administration in the position of having to send all that cash back to Iran, just like the Obama administration did over a decade ago--something Trump has repeatedly condemned Obama for doing.
While irony is certainly not Donald Trump's strong suit, he is quite accomplished at hypocrisy. Both tend to go hand in hand when he is involved.
Yes, we will simply have to wait until Friday to actually see what is exactly on paper. Or not. By then the whole thing might fall apart thanks to Netanyahu's continued attacks in Lebanon. Israeli politicians on both his left and right are all over him because of the agreement and he desperately needs the war to continue in order to keep him out of a courtroom and quite possibly jail.
Indeed, it would seem both he and Donald Trump made major errors months ago when the war began. Trump trusted the Israeli Prime Minister and Netanyahu never dreamed Trump would call it quits so quickly. Not to mention neither man even considered the Iranians might close the Strait. (Even if Netanyahu did, he'd never let Trump in on it.)
But back to Trump's late night posting adventures. Recently a person on YouTube with a channel titled, Ask AI loaded over 32,000 of Trump's social media posts into Anthropic's AI program, Claude. It was asked to analyze the President's language, behavior, and personality. Claude wasn't told anything about Trump's job, politics, or personality. What Claude found was that no matter what the topic, Donald Trump most frequently put himself at the center of events, no matter what. Also, roughly one in 11 of all those posts were filled with self-praise. Additionally, Claude found El Donald frequently described himself as both the victim of unfair treatment and a triumphant winner at the same time.
Which might explain a post early this morning which had nothing to do with fight night at the White House. It read, "Dumocrats want FISA (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) because that's what they used to go after me for three years during my First Term. I'm against FISA if it doesn't come with The Save America Act (FULL version) firmly attached to it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" He then highlighted the provisions of the Save America Act, which, among other things, forces voters to present photo ID's and proof of citizenship, plus severely restricts mail in ballots. In other words, despite his, "victimhood," Donald Trump is willing to fund FISA in order to make it harder for Americans to vote.
Who says Donald Trump doesn't understand self-sacrifice? His Truth Social account didn't go quiet until around 4am. He arrived in Switzerland between 9 am and 10am EDT.
That's right, baby. Better living through chemistry.
