How long?

To the editor:

How long can America and the world bear up under our President’s regular social media temper tantrums?

Will someone please give the President a bottle with some warm milk in it?

A typical example is his Juneteenth rant after Iran suspended the start of 60-day talks due to Israel killing 47 and wounding 97 in southern Lebanon the day after the deal was signed.

Here is our President’s very unstatesmanlike message to all who will listen: “We didn’t meet out of desperation, Iran did. They are FINISHED! We’ll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!”

Yep, Mr. President, that is surely the way to increase confidence in the effectiveness of your deal with Iran.

Intimidate and undermine the willingness of the Iranians to uphold the agreement and insult the crap out of everyone who doesn’t read the deal like scripture.

    It is unclear which liberal literature you have read, but it is advisable to diversify your information sources. For instance, in 2019, President Trump stated that Juneteenth “served as an opportunity to celebrate the fundamental truth that all people are created equal”. Mr. Trump’s statement is a deeply profound and fundamental national priority.
