If a deal requires the US to actually follow through, especially if the other country has to give something first, then that deal is now unlikely because Trump can't be trusted. This limits the possible deals the US can make. 2/2

Tucker Carlson was caught lying about Trump, supporting him publicly while privately saying he doesn't like him. Now, Tucker apologizes for supporting Trump, but still implies falsely that he wasn't lying. He got filthy rich lying to people and misleading them.

Trump is ranting in fear of losing and of being Jimmy Carter and then talking tough. He's acting like he's losing it. He's being left outside of the Situation Room because he's so erratic that he may jeopardize missions.

Yet, during the Trump administration, the shadow docket has often been used to allow Trump to go ahead with actions. The conservatives of the Supreme Court appear to be using the shadow docket to implement their political ideology, not execute sound and considered legal decisions. 2/3
The conservatives on the Supreme Court advanced the shadow docket as a prominent way to make impactful decisions while fighting with the Obama administration. They wanted to stop major Obama actions so that a final ruling wouldn't come after the actions have already had a major impact. 1/3

The Obama-Iran deal set back Iranian nuclear development by over a decade, and was intended to be the start of negotiations and the relationship, not the final say. They hoped the next president, Hillary Clinton, could push deals forward. Instead, Trump was elected and took a different path. 2/3
In tough diplomacy, the world came together to prevent Iran from getting a nuke. Even Israeli intelligence said Iran was in compliance. Trump blew all that up by leaving the agreement unilaterally, claiming he could get a better deal. Instead, he gave us war. 1/3

If we take the literal purported lives of certain historical religious figures like Muhammad as a way to live our own lives, then that leads to immoral and barbarous behavior. It is better to see them as inspirations in some spiritual or mystical way.
