Kindergarten king

I think the orange boob may have recently poked two previously slumbering bears - one of which will now awaken and bite him on the arse - and neither is the nation he just threatened, bombed the crap out of and earned a ceasefire that will likely end with a negotiated deal similar to the one Trump pulled the US out of in 2018.

Bear No 1 in this context is the general decency of most Americans. Two weekends ago, after a student at our local high school was deported, hundreds of his fellow students staged a walkout in protest, carrying signs such as “Education not deportation” and chanting “We're heartbroken, we're angry and we're not staying silent”. The next day, one of the 2000 “No Kings” marches in protest against what President Trump is doing to our nation (on the day of his US$45 million military parade) was at Leisure World, a nearby senior community we made fun of a lot as kids but not so much now we're eligible to live there.

Bear No 2 is the solid isolationist chunk of his America First Maga base, who watched for weeks as their daddy figure lavished attention on other countries such as Israel and Iran.
