Tik Tok...what a waste of human time and effort. If we bundled up all that brain power, we could cure cancer.
In about two weeks. Trump to decide on Iran action (in his own words) "in the next two weeks." https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5359577-trump-iran-two-weeks/
How much Tik could a TACO Tik if a TACO could Tok Tik? As much Tik as a TACO could if a TACO could Tok Tik.
Tik shouldn't be messing with TACO and his brute interrogation tactics. TACO has ways to make Tik Tok.

Trump bans 'negative' signage at national parks, asks visitors to report text deemed unpatriotic excerpt: Across from the ubiquitous sign in all park bathrooms that says, “Please DO NOT put trash in toilets, it is extremely difficult to remove,” someone added a placard that reads, “Please DO NOT put trash in the White House. It is extremely difficult to remove.”

Fox contributor Hugh Hewitt asks people to pray that Trump makes the right decision about whether or not to bomb Iran. MORNING GLORY: President Trump and the biggest decision of his life
Trump says supporters are 'more in love' with him than ever, as involvement in Iran roils MAGA world excerpt: Ultimately, Bannon said that Trump will have to make the case to the American people if he wants to get involved in Iran — and he hasn’t done that yet. “We don’t like it. Maybe we hate it," Bannon said, predicting what the MAGA response would be. "But, you know, we’ll get on board.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/us/politics/trump-iran-iraq.html excerpt: The two no longer speak, so Mr. Bolton said he had no idea what Mr. Trump would decide. He was not sure if Mr. Trump knew himself. But in his experience, Mr. Bolton said, Mr. Trump was “frantic and agitated” in national security crises. “He talks to a lot of people and he’s looking for somebody who will say the magic words,” Mr. Bolton said. “He’ll hear something and he’ll decide, ‘That’s right, that’s what I believe.’ Which lasts until he has the next conversation.”
Bolton is correct that Trump doesn't know how to handle a crisis, especially the ones that come out of nowhere in addition to the ones he creates on his own. There are also the random crises that Trump exacerbates, like the coronavirus pandemic.
Israel's bombing of Iran during negotiations has Trump's fingerprints on it. It's the same tactic as his inciting of violence on members of Congress on Jan. 6 to try to steal the election from Biden. Trump loves to put people's heads in a vise at the most critical time.
It's the ten-year mark since Trump announced he was running for president in the 2016 election, coming down the golden escalator at his tower with Melania, like dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda. Trump didn't fade away like other rogue populists. The deeper dimensions of American character have changed to a darker world. Trump Has Humiliated His Foes excerpts: "But I did have a theory of the case for my view. It was that Trump represented a particular American type of politician — from George Wallace to Joe McCarthy or, more benignly, Ross Perot. These figures tap authentic currents of grievance against elites and politics as usual. They typically have moments when they streak like a comet across the sky, causing conventional politicians to cower and tremble. Then these populist renegades rapidly fade away because they don’t really resonate with the deeper dimensions of American character." "What this election shows is that, unlike what McConnell and I once believed, Trump profoundly does resonate with deeper dimensions of American character."
That was just after he won the 2024 election. Five months into his second term, none of that has happened except for increased tariffs which is the easiest for him to do by declaring emergencies. Another new war has been started, this time on Iran.
