I suppose the criticism from former MAGA loyalists is a positive sign.

But it should have come a decade ago, when the educated MAGAts already knew what kind of a thing Trump was. Before they voted for him, thrice.

Updated @ Noon Eastern: now Hinderaker is cheering the fact that Iran “is violating” Trump’s faux-deal. More cogent observers might point out that Israel is still firing on Lebanon. That’s not cricket under the goofy Trump memo. Which also points out the fact that Trump doesn’t control how Israel might choose to defend itself. Again, “thanks, Captain Obvious!”

In any event — here is Paul Mirengoff’s money quote — of this morning (he’s not wrong — just very, very, VERY late… in coming to his senses):

…I thought that attacking Iran was the right thing to do. I still think it probably was, but only with a serious president in charge. My mistake was to think that, at least when it comes to warfare, Donald Trump is a serious president….

Paul FINALLY realizes that all Trump has ever cared about is his own personal wealth. Thus Paul is… sad, that Trump is letting the stock market decide it is time to capitulate to Iran.

Mirengoff is plainly a moron, if he hadn’t seen this almost a decade ago now. The guy is venal, doddering sleepy old “Odd-father” — like they used to call Vinny the Chin Gigante.

See ya’, Paulie… and now Johnnie.

Ugh.
