Donald Trump has insisted Iran must “open up the Strait of Trump” and complained about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in a meandering speech at the Future Investment Initiative Institute summit in Miami, Florida.

    I think “worst [anything] in the history of the world” is a bold and contentious statement, but mostly unnecessary and missing the point. There are plenty of major historical fuck ups to choose from.

    Requesting the Mongol invaders to kill your enemies for you? You done fucked up.

    Requesting Western Europe to send help defending the borders of Byzantium? You done fucked up.

    Attacking the Danes bathing in the river because English women find them more attractive? You done fucked up.

    Yeah, attacking Iran is a major fuck up. But I believe that categorically, superlatives are unnecessary in historiology.
