America last

In December 2025, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, in a Vanity Fair interview, referred to Trump as having an “alcoholic’s personality.” Also, “he operates with a view that there’s nothing he can’t do … nothing, zero, nothing,” and so thinking that he’s been elected the King of the World, he requires unconditional surrender from Iran and says that he must be involved in picking Iran’s next leader. Such is the thinking of a malignant narcissist who must be obeyed.

The American people on the other hand just want their infrastructure rebuilt. They want quality affordable health care. They want to be able to afford groceries and want to be able to afford a home.

Instead the U.S. has spent $2.89 trillion taxpayer dollars in the Middle East since 2003, while Americans have watched much of their country become rusted, dilapidated, and poor.

Apparently we are near sending our sons and daughters, brothers, and sisters to enrich oil executives. Do you know whose boots will not be on the ground ? Netanyahu’s family, Barron Trump or any other wealthy offspring.

Armageddon for thee but not for me. After all, someone must be left behind to tend to the Bitcoin corruption.
