Maybe he needs to say thank you more. I’m sure then other countries will run to help.

He certainly thinks other countries should thank him for attacking Iran.
He does wear a suit…
I would note that “death is very bad” for the person affected along with his family.
“Trump just revealed that he and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., urged Rep. Neal Dunn, a Republican representing Florida’s rural panhandle and parts of Tallahassee, to stay in Congress despite his “terminal” diagnosis related to a heart condition.
Dunn announced in January that he would not seek re-election for a sixth term, but has never publicly revealed the diagnosis behind his health issues.
The president did it for him, however, in a meandering speech while meeting with his hand-picked Kennedy Center board members this afternoon. Trump, sitting next to Johnson, noted that “death is very bad” for the slim Republican majority, which he is hoping to preserve in the House.”
I prefer Congressmen who are immortal, not these losers who eventually die!

I am waiting on his muddled brain to come up with “I raped little girls” as a distraction from his Iran mess.
At the hearing today both the director on national intelligence and the director of the CIA claimed they were unaware of the content and couldn’t comment.
Trump saying the darndest things came back to bite him.

From the finance threads, but relevant here as well.
Because the stock market is the only thing he will listen to.
He does like to take credit when everyone’s 401K’s are increasing in value. Have we ever said “thank you” to him??
The Dow, The Dow it’s fifty thou!
Well, it was for a brief shining moment.

Crazy uncle indeed. I skipped right over your post until I saw this on TV earlier:
After a series of questions about the current conflict in Iran, the US president was asked by a Japanese reporter: “Why didn’t you tell US allies in Europe and Asia and Japan about the war before attacking Iran?”
Trump replied: “One thing you don’t want to signal too much, you know, when we go in, we went in very hard and we didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan?”
There was laughter in the room but the president had not finished. He asked mischievously: “Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”
That all worked out well for Japan in the end…

Pearl Harbor has been, at least so I thought, an example of how it’s a bad idea to make large militarily capable nations really angry through deceit. So the irony is indeed just right out in the open.

Agreed. Sneak attacks while under the guise of Diplomacy will end up blowing back on you because it makes negotiation impossible.
The US has effectively squandered all of its soft power at this point.
All in all, a very stupid thing to do as the opposing side will not trust you to negotiate in good faith.
