Half A Brain

OPINION: When Donald Trump returned to the White House, many people with half a brain could see the results for the world might be a bit average, and our boy has been busy trying to prove them right.

But to be fair, there were also plenty of people, also with half a brain, who thought it would be great.

Spare a thought for these guys then as they perform mental backflips trying to justify their support for the Don as he upsets the world's entire Christian population by posing as Jesus Christ himself and kicks off the biggest oil crisis since the 1970s.

The war drags on as Trump orders a naval blockade to unblock the blockade that only needs unblocking because he started the war that caused the blockade.

There's a reason US presidents have until now avoided going into Iran.

If Trump had half a brain, he would've too!
