Trump is in so far over his head here.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

News Analysis: President Trump thought the nuclear deal was flawed because restrictions on Iran would end after 15 years. But now, Iran declared that those restrictions are over — a decade ahead of schedule. Trump’s gambit has effectively backfired. https://t.co/bUxyvXnypY

He’s just not that smart. And in waaaay over his head.

[Russell Brown @publicaddress]

Trump is actually insane. https://t.co/QLaPStbHD6

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The moment we all feared is likely upon us.

An unstable President in way over his head, panicking, with all his experienced advisers having quit, and only the sycophantic amateurs remaining.

Assassinating foreign leaders, announcing plans to bomb civilians.

A nightmare.

A couple of NYT headlines right next to each other that, together, sum up humanities current downward spiral. 🤷‍♂️

Who knew that three years of constant attacks on European allies would have consequences

Kerry o’Keefe and Ian Smith are gold when they are paired up. #AUSvNZ

@BIG_Nick_1 The best, most sustainable, zoo is still a zoo.

Surprised Trump didn’t wade into a war before now tbh.

[Russell Brown @publicaddress]

And now Vice President Pence is pushing baseless conspiracy theories linking Iran to the 9/11 attacks. He knows it's a lie. This is all looking very deliberate already. https://t.co/cMKpOm8V3H

Would be worth knowing if any of them bought oil futures

@BIG_Nick_1 Don’t encourage zoo’s by giving them your money.

Gosh this is so awkward. Australian PM Scott Morrison goes to try and shake the hand of a firefighter who does not appear keen. (The PM was abused earlier by angry locals) Filmed by @GregNelsonACS @abcnews #AustraliaBurning #NSWbushfires #SouthCoastFires

The Sydney fireworks really were a bad look.

This will turn out to be an iconic image of the global warming era. It came on the last day of the hottest decade recorded in Australia, and on earth. So far. https://t.co/XdX6p6WWRH

What a time to be alive people!

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

The President of the United States has, today alone, retweeted 2 QAnon fan accounts, a Pizzagate account, an account that compared his following to a cult, and an account that described Obama as “Satan’s Muslim Scum.” And this insanity isn’t even a blip on the news radar.

Winning the toss and sending Aussie in was a great call … for *ONE* over yesterday. 🤷‍♂️

Isa Guha, Warney and Ian Smith is the best commentary trio (imo). #BoxingDayTest

[Jon Cryer @MrJonCryer]

There were never many good options on North Korea, but giving them everything they want and getting nothing in return was the one that Trump went with.
