Trump, Zambia, and the SAVE‑Nothing Act: A Masterclass in Foolishness

This week we are holding onto our wigs, our pearls, and our last nerve because apparently Trump has decided NATO is “making a very foolish mistake” by refusing to join his personal war tour against Iran. He then assured us he’s “not afraid of anything,” which is exactly what people say right before they run from a house centipede.Meanwhile, troops were allegedly told that the war on Iran is “part of God’s divine plan.” We have questions. Many. None of them answered.The Senate voted 51–48 to open debate on the House‑passed SAVE America Act, which—spoiler alert—saves absolutely nothing. Trump calls it his “No. 1 priority,” which tracks, because voter suppression is the only thing this man treats with the tenderness of a houseplant he actually waters.Tulsi Gabbard refused to say whether U.S. intelligence thinks Iran poses an “imminent” threat, which is always comforting during a war someone else started. Trump also waived the Jones Act for 60 days to deal with rising fuel prices, and yes, we had to look up the Jones Act. No shame. Zero.Then the United States got downgraded from a liberal democracy to an electoral democracy thanks to Trump’s “rapid and aggressive concentration of power in the presidency.” We would like to return this timeline for a full refund.And because the hits keep coming, the State Department is considering withholding lifesaving HIV assistance to people in Zambia as a bargaining chip for minerals. Minerals. We are officially out of words, but not out of side‑eye.Finally, TSA workers are showing up without pay while passengers—blissfully unaware there’s a government shutdown—complain about long lines. We salute these workers, because we would’ve been on the loudspeaker telling everyone to take off their shoes, belts, and attitudes.Grab your coffee, your emotional support snack, and your favorite stress‑ball. We’re breaking it all down with humor, heart, and the kind of clarity you need to stay informed without losing your mind.Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.
