Supporters of Trumpism and the MAGA movement (we have no shortage of them right here) find it a little more difficult each day to maintain their position. According to them, both Trump and the young lions of his government (Hegseth, Rubio, Vance) represent an advanced elite, which in no way can be reduced to the criticisms and caricatures of leftists and progressives, who are always clueless and outdated. These ringleaders of the new American right have followed, with academic success, rigorous study plans at prestigious universities; they handle information that ordinary citizens can only dream of; they have a broad and sophisticated geopolitical vision, and they follow a well-designed plan to end the old order that emerged from World War II and the Cold War to establish a new one. Such are the grand, ambitious, and impressive goals that the new world leaders aim to achieve, who are also ironic, fun, cool, and politically incorrect guys. This is the picture that, in broad strokes, their defenders paint. It happens to them that, as always when someone proposes a true revolution and genuinely overturns the established order, many do not understand it.However, reality seems to be different. The latest diplomatic expression from the current US president is a tweet addressed to the Iranian regime with these exact words: “Open the damn strait, you crazy SOBs, or you will live in hell (...) Praise be to Allah.” Tavern insults, copying the style of the recently deceased patriot Chuck Norris, followed by a religious allusion that perhaps intends to be ironic but only manages to be crude. It does not seem like the communication of a US president with a forward-thinking vision of the geopolitical board, nor do they even seem like phrases spoken by a sane person. For his part, the secretary of the Trump administration who speaks of war, Pete Hegseth, supposedly an intellectual who combines a refined university education with solid military knowledge, is someone who insists on appearing in public describing apocalyptic images of fire and destruction falling from the sky upon Iran: he says it in these words, and with noticeably dilated pupils. Both he and his commander-in-chief (Trump) are incapable of recognizing what everyone knows: that they went to war with Iran dragged by Israel, for reasons including that it served as a smokescreen for both Trump and Netanyahu: for the repugnant Epstein scandal in the American's case, for the genocide in Palestine in the Israeli's case.This Tuesday the ultimatum expires for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, which is strangling the world economy as a consequence of the turpitude of the absurd and bloodthirsty couple Trump/Netanyahu. It remains to be seen if all this rhetoric of hells being unleashed and bonfires falling from the sky translates into a concrete military order. It could happen (there have been warnings to this effect) that the American military disobey the presidential order. If it is an illegal or unconstitutional order, they have a duty to do so.
