I'm rather busy with end of financial year stuff, but there's so much dubious commentary flowing around the situation in the Middle East, and uncertainty as to what could happen in the next day, week (or year), there seems not much point talking about it.
What remains clear is that historians are going to be scratching their heads over the cult of Trump for about a century after he's dead. Although, truth be told, it's basically all down to the change in the information environment and the resultant extreme and continual narrow-casting of one sided propaganda into the brains of people 24 hours a day.
I mean, at least Hitler had enough skills that he could work up a cult the old fashioned way, that took time, effort and a degree of talent. Trump has orange make up and can barely string a sentence together that would pass a primary school writing assignment, but he has a self serving fan club in network shows full of people who know he's an idiot but suck up to him for a living anyway. (See also - Republicans in congress.)
Such a bizarre timeline we are in...
