Has he ever made a rational policy choice?
That’s not rage, it’s very clearly dementia.
Dementia often induces rage.
Huh? He’s going to punish South Korea for not joining his Iran war, by warming relations with North Korea, who are supplying Iran in the Iran war?
So he’s pissing off both Taiwan and South Korea, while also trying to have a trade war with China, and also win the AI compute war. Good going.
There’s no point trying to discern any kind of strategy here.
He does not need rage to make irrational choices.
Why would SK do that even if they wanted to, they have the DRK and China to worry about.
Trump is everything chauvinists were afraid would happen if a woman was elected president.
It’s all projection. They have poor empathy and don’t understand other people, so they just imagine themselves.
Also everything Republicans were afraid would happen if a commulist got elected

What explains all the irrational policy decisions made before now?
Nothing, it’s just more lip service from the media while the world crumbles.
The Atlantic really is shit
Of all the irrational policy choices that Trump is making due to his illegal war, lowering the scale of military exercises with South Korea is pretty low on the list, especially as North Korea has been cashing in its weapons cache so Russia can continue fighting Ukraine.
I know that the South Korean military tends to need more training due to conscription, but I don’t think that North Korea is choosing to be a major threat right now. You even have the South Korean President wishing to finalize a peace to the Korean War.
FFS North Korea is supplying missiles to IRAN !
When has he ever made rational ones?
Didn’t his net worth increase by something like 2.2 billion dollars as president? (…so_far.gif…)
Must be really good at predicting the markets, somehow. He’s perhaps not that irrational when you consider his actual priorities (himself and his family), not whatever he is saying (MAGA).
Does being blackmailed count?
His narcissism, stupidity, and racism are making him make irrational policy choices. There is nothing new about this.
Hey South Korea, I would do yourselves a favor and hack the US + leak the Epstein files. Just saying.
His age, incompetence, his pettiness, his hubris and his inability to accept truth ALSO drive him to make stupid choices.
It was funny when he only hurt himself, but as president, it’s a war crime.
Driving him? That mother fucker left rational far behind, crashed the car, stole the ambulance and drove it off a fucking cliff
He was always known for such rational choices before though…
Everyday trump and his maga dogs dig the US deeper and deeper into isolation.
