What if? Trump is playing 5.7-D chess. He knows his base is full of idiots. He bombs Iran to create a crisis that wakes up his base to "wut, oil, need oil".

This was only way to get them to use renewables and re-think that maybe electric vehicles are not just 'woke' but also can help 'national security'.

Create Crises, to swing economy to electric and renewables faster than EV subsidies ever could.

Have you heard him talk?

He can't even stay consistent in 1D.

Why would you attribute to genius what is more likely explained by idiocy?
What if he's is just an evil Chauncey Gardiner?
that's way too high brow of a reference for this crowd.
... is this a common sentiment?
I mean, what if he's not?
I am surprised by the downvotes.

Am I being downvoted by Trump Fans? For making fun.

or

Am I being downvoted by Trump haters because even a satirically positive view of him, is too positive. Don't even make fun, if the fun is showing him in too positive a light?

At least in America, most people do not like nuanced takes on issues / people, even if you are being playful.

I'm afraid you need to go fit inside one of the echo chambers and conform to a given narrative good sir.
