Trump: “Regime Change Best for Iran” – While America Crumbles?

Ah, yes. The sage of Mar-a-Lago, dispensing foreign policy wisdom like it’s going out of style. Apparently, regime change is the “best thing” for Iran. Sure, why not? Let’s just casually destabilize another nation while we’re at it. I’m sure *that* won’t have any unintended consequences. You know, like, maybe, oh, a surge in refugees? A global power vacuum? Increased terrorism? Nah, can’t imagine. We’re busy tweeting, remember?

Meanwhile, back in reality, we’re still trying to figure out how to keep the American government from resembling a clown car on fire. But hey, who needs to fix our own problems when we can meddle in someone else’s? It’s the American way, I guess. Or, more accurately, the “Trump” way.

And let’s not forget the irony, shall we? This from the same guy who’s so obsessed with “extreme vetting” at the border (for, you know, people *entering* the country) that he’s essentially advocating for a complete governmental overhaul *in another country*. The mental gymnastics here are Olympic-level.

One has to wonder if “extreme vetting” applies to the people *giving* the advice, too. Because let’s be honest, the track record isn’t exactly stellar. We’ve got the foreign policy equivalents of used car salesmen running the show, and they’re apparently excellent at making everything worse.

So, while the former president pontificates on the ideal government for a nation across the globe, what about *us*? Are we even close to being ‘vetted’ for our own survival at this point?

I swear, I’m starting to think the only thing this administration is good at is generating headlines. And heartburn. Lots and lots of heartburn. I’m going to go find a Pepto-Bismol dispenser now.
