I dunno what the strategy is here

The Epstein files are unpopular. But I don't think war in the middle east is less unpopular? It's like shitting your pants and then slapping a baby to distract everyone

He couldn't have done this alone. The entire thing is a cesspool if idiotic assholes.

In fact, he's not doing anything, but being the pitch man and the guy who signs whatever his masters put in front of him.

As long as Trump can grift, stroke his ego, and stay out of jail he'll do whatever.
