Arson gone awry — Trump wooden-puppet wriggles — in an oil fire of his own making

Brainlessness . . .
. . . reckless megalomania and dementia's steady creep — make a potentially contagious mix in America's modern Caligula:
President Donald Trump is suggesting he may delay his much-anticipated visit to China at the end of the month as he seeks to ramp up the pressure on Beijing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz and calm oil prices that have soared during the Iran war.
In an interview Sunday with the Financial Times, Trump said China’s reliance on oil from the Middle East means it ought to help with a new coalition he is trying to put together to get oil tanker traffic moving through the strait after Iran’s threats have throttled global flows of oil.
Calling off the face-to-face visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping could have its own major economic consequences: Relations between Washington and Beijing have been fraught as both sides have threatened the other with steep tariffs over the past year.

So, let's see . . .
China is going to piss off an already existentially threatened Iran — the geographic source of about 15 percent of China's oil — just to make insane toddler boy happy?
Seems unlikely.
The moral? — Maybe Orange Man Bad should have . . .
. . . gotten his fool ducks in a sensible row, before he started what could easily turn into world war 3.
Psychotic idiocy does not come more putridly flavored — and calamitously spreading in its global effects — than this.
