Listening to Trump's indecisive comments about what he should do about Iran reminds me of the jandal. For those who do not already know, the jandal is known in many countries as a flip-flop.

Their unpredictable behaviour means that they should not be relied on in dangerous situations like staircases or sporting activities like golf. They quickly become scruffy so are completely unsuitable for formal occasions.

Jandals are sometimes decorated with pretty beads or gemstones. There are drawbacks - the upper thong can break under stress, the flexible sole can bend under your foot, and they are likely to trip you up on occasion.

Try as I might, I could not get a clear view of the spring that held his head in place and allowed it to nod so enthusiastically. I was hoping he would open his mouth as well so someone could aim a ping-pong ball at it. Who knows, they might have scored a hit and won a maga cap.
