Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

How Stupid Can a POTUS Be

   
	     I don’t think I’ll ever see 
                 a POTUS as stupid as Trump can be

              Recently he had Iran on the ropes
                 Iran’s beleaguered citizenry flush with hope

              Cheering a President who seemed to mean what he said 
                 that he’d leave Iran’s oppressive government for dead

              But he stopped abruptly, he pulled the plug
                 let Iran’s maniacal thugs out of the hole he’d dug

               Why didn’t Trump finish what he’d started
                  As things stand now, he got out-smarted

                For all his boasting and blither-blather
                   I imagine most everyone would rather 

                Not see him give the Ayatollah hundreds of billions in alms 
                   with zero progress on nuclear arms

                 Or let Iran control the Hormuz straits in 60 days
                    when pre-Trump it was always a free international waterway

                 And at the G7 conference, he defended permitting Iran to keep her ballistic missiles
                     confounding America's generals and top-drawer military officials...                      

                 The ‘deal’ Trump's ‘negotiated’ lacks any reason
                     ~ except as ‘Exhibit A’ for an indictment of treason

Joseph P. DiMino June 21, 2026 at 8:47 AM Hi Gershon; 1000 years ago, there was a cult, The Assassins! Which extremist have modeled themselves after. Same theology. A lot was tried to rid the area of them, but finally all the sultans from surrounding kingdoms with their armies jointly attacked, The Old Man of The Mountain's stronghold. The battle lasted for several weeks till every last Assassin was dead. The only way for peace in the world is wipe them off the face of the earth. After the midterms things will play out differently. Unfortunately, politics is involved. There will have to be a foot invasion, door to door, turn over every rock and look in every crevice to get them. Time now being used to further secure the strait, and get assets into Iran to support the people. Trump is cunning, very calculating...not stupid. Just my opinion. I know nothing~ some would say, obviously.

sara Etgen-Baker June 20, 2026 at 5:36 PM I was totally surprised with his actions and reason over the past few months--a tad disappointed.

Ann Peck June 20, 2026 at 1:46 PM No kidding! You said what I've been thinking and said it well!

Regina Elliott June 19, 2026 at 9:42 AM Well said, Gershon. Shabbat Shalom ~

Daniel Henry Rodgers June 19, 2026 at 8:18 AM Hello Gershon, Well said, and I am not an anti-trumper, but I felt exactly as your poem laid out. We had a chance to change Iran into a more peaceful nation, especially toward Israel. I will continue to pray for peace, and your words solidify that. Blessings, Daniel
