The latest edition of “I’m not American but…”

Not in the best form this morning after all of Trump’s bluster yesterday. Actually, “bluster” seems like a huge understatement in this case because the nutjob literally threatened to enact genocide over his social media if he didn’t get what he wanted. At this point, it doesn’t even matter that he pulled yet another TACO move at the last possible minute because the damage is done. Sure, America and Iran seem to have appeared to a ceasefire for the next two weeks, but to paraphrase this article’s headline: “Trump just TACO’d away American credibility as he backs down on Iran threat”. I know I should feel a huge sigh of relief after last night but I don’t. If anything, I fear the only thing that’s been accomplished is kicking the can further down the road.

So yeah, in case you haven’t noticed, my anxiety levels has risen ever so slightly since the start of the week. Sure, I could make jokes about how yesterday was TACO Tuesday but it would be a little irresponsible on my part. But then again, the situation is serious and frightening but the assholes at the centre of it — specifically Trump and his secretary of war Pete Hegseth — are so unhinged that satire has basically lost all meaning.

Sigh. I guess all I can do now is just try to purge myself of my anxieties when I’m at the gym.

Take care.
