Guess I'm a Fool, Then ...

 

Trump posted this ... 

Yeah, Fools, it's that simple! 

We just pop over and destroy Iran's nuclear threat -  duh!

Despite Russia and Shia Muslims in other countries with oil rights supporting them, it's just bada bing, bada boom, and we're done!

So let's all just go play golf, like Trump did this weekend, and then go on that GOP retreat! 

And then after that, we can all clap along while Trump plays the fiddle while Rome burns!

Oh, ho, the merriment of mayhem!

(Yes - the above is sarcasm.)

Gas companies like to raise prices whenever they feel like it, using whatever excuse du jour they feel like.

Proof?

They always go up around holidays when people are traveling to make more money.

Or the day after hurricanes to the regions effected (price gauging).

I remember that within hours, on 9/11, the gas prices shot up, even though we didn't know yet for sure who was responsible.

And they go down for a few weeks, right after elections, if a Republican is chosen like "Good voters, here's a nickel as a treat - you voted the way we wanted you to - more tax breaks for us and more effing up the environment without regulation, but high taxes for you still -  too bad, so sad. Take this nickel as appreciation."

And the moment someone even hiccups in the Middle East, gas prices go up, let alone a war.

But I guess I'm a fool then, according to Trump.

Methinks we have very different definitions of the word "fool." 

Because to me, the fool is the one who believes this will be that simple and doesn't look before he leaps - never considers the consequences of his rash actions or his big mouth.
