Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone.

Today we’re talking about the continuing war in the Middle East and the chaos surrounding it. The fighting continues, yet Donald Trump is still claiming victory — even as he reportedly asks China to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz so oil can flow again. At the same time, officials around him are beginning to resign.

It’s a mess.

Then there’s something even stranger: former Speaker Newt Gingrich floating the idea of using nuclear weapons to blast open a new canal route. Nukes… to build a canal. At some point you have to ask yourself — are these people serious?

But the thing I still can’t understand is the loyalty Trump continues to get from so many people.

I talk to people all the time, and I ask them a simple question: have you ever trusted anyone in your life this much? A teacher? A doctor? A mayor? A president? Anyone?

Most people say no.

Yet somehow this one man gets absolute loyalty from millions of people — no questions asked.

And I ask another question: what has he actually done to make your life better?

In our lifetimes, no one has had more influence over the federal government than Donald Trump. He had the presidency, his party behind him, enormous power — and yet what do we seem to get over and over again?

More chaos.

More conflict.

More mess.

If someone gave you better healthcare, maybe you’d understand the loyalty. If someone brought lasting peace, maybe you’d understand it. But instead we keep getting more turmoil.

At the end of the show, I talk a little about my own race for office. I’m currently collecting signatures to get on the ballot, and if you want to help or just say hello, come see me tomorrow night at Gadowski’s in Niagara Falls — the Polish restaurant — around 6 p.m.

The food will be on me… well, at least until it runs out. I can’t afford to feed the entire city if everyone shows up.

But come by, say hello, and let’s talk.

And again — Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everybody.
