Is it wrong that I feel slightly better that AI calculated the tariffs rather than any actual Trump admin human? I wouldn’t trust them with successfully pouring piss out of a boot.
Far-right activist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer called for heads to roll in an Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump on Wednesday — and Trump took her advice the next morning.
After Oliver Darcy delivered the initial scoop about the meeting, The New York Times shed further light on it:
“Ms. Loomer walked into the White House with a sheaf of papers, which amounted to a mass of opposition research attacking the character and loyalty of numerous N.S.C. officials, two of the people said. She proceeded to excoriate them in front of their boss, the national security adviser Michael Waltz,
Several members of President Trump’s embattled National Security Council have been fired, a U.S. official and a second source familiar told Axios on Thursday.
Why it matters: The firings come a day after conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer visited the Oval Office and pressed Trump to fire specific NSC staffers. Axios has not confirmed whether the firings were directly linked to that incident, but the source familiar said they were “being labeled as an anti-neocon move.”
Behind the scenes: The U.S. official said Loomer was furious that “neocons” had “slipped through” the vetting process for administration jobs, referring to hawkish foreign policy views commonly associated with the Bush administration.
loony loomer is so crazy that even MTG thinks she is crazy. but loony loomer is telling trump who to fire and he agrees.Trump's head is on a swivel being turned by every right-wing nut job. He has no core beliefs himself - except what is "good for me has to be good for the country' so he is persuaded by the looney tunes on the right that have his ear or perhaps for Loomer, his small private parts.

who was also in the meeting.”
To a wannabe-autocrat, starting a war probably sounds like a good idea. Rally the populace against a common enemy, that kind of thing. He probably thinks voters won't vote him out, much like FDR and Truman - and Zelenskyy.
FWIW....every thread is the right thread for that.Wrong Thread.
FYI...Trump is an idiot.
US could be bombing Iran by weekend if Tehran doesn't fall in line
Donald Trump's threats to bomb Iran should not be dismissed as empty words, an expert has said
IF Iran does not sit down with US diplomats to discuss scrapping its nuclear ambitions on Saturday, massive bombing raids - and the prospect of an extended and costly US/Iran conflict could result, a national security expert warned today. Historically Tehran has refused to meet US negotiators as a matter of political principle but Donald Trump is demanding face-to-face meetings with top political and military brass from both nations.
He has already announced the two countries will meet in Oman on Saturday - but Iran almost immediately contradicted the president insisting the talks would be conducted through an intermediary. Speaking from the White House’ Oval Office last night Trump warned Iran “would be in great danger” if the projected talks were stymied. He said: “We're having direct talks with Iran, and they've started. It'll go on Saturday.
"We have a very big meeting, and we'll see what can happen. And I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable.
“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and if the talks aren't successful, I actually think it will be a very bad day for Iran".
