"Trump’s one consistent explanation is enjoyment. Trump felt good after kidnapping Maduro in Venezuela. He called into Fox and Friends to talk about how nice it would be to repeat the experience. He now says that the war in Iran is 'fun.' Hegseth uses similar terms."

~ Timothy Snyder

"This is the pleasure principle. If war feels good, do it. Trump and Hegseth take satisfaction in killing or dominating other people.

That, however, has nothing to do with a national interest."

Sure, it has nothing to do with a national interest. It has all to do with sick minds. $trumpF and his companions should be locked up!
