As winter turns to spring in 2026, American politics is experiencing a bit of economic-messaging déjà vu from the Trump administration.

Much like last year at this time, the president has leapt headlong into a major new undertaking that threatens to rock an already-wobbly economy. And much like last year, the administration is asking Americans to accept some “short-term pain” for promised long-term gain.

In 2025, it was tariffs. In 2026, it’s the war with Iran.

    I’m wondering when will Americans pick up pitchforks and drag this orange scum out of the White House and hang him on a street lamp by his balls. Like, what the serious actual fuck? Not only Trump fucked up USA entirely, his dumbass war on Iran pushed entire world into like 8th “once in a lifetime” bullshit crisis.
