Ex-Wall Street Journal editor gives damning verdict on Trump’s latest Iran claims: ‘We have become Baghdad Bob’

Trump has been Baghdad bob his whole life. This is not new. I don’t think I have every heard him speak world that were anything other then complete bullshit

It's painfully obvious Trump is just making this shit up. He's preparing everyone so he can wind down, say that the people actually speaking for Iran are lying, and just call it a day, shuffle off into the sunset like a W***** and pretend it's all over. He's a f****** moron. He's a lying goddamned moron.

"A prominent journalist at two right-leaning outlets has compared President Donald Trump’s Iran war messaging to that of Saddam Hussein’s notorious chief spokesperson during the invasion of Iraq, “Baghdad Bob.” "Gerard Baker, a Fox News contributor and the former Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief compared Trump to Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, Iraq's minister of information during the 2003 U.S. invasion. He earned the nicknames "Baghdad Bob" and "Comical Ali" in the west due to colorfully delivered and optimistic but wildly inaccurate statements about the ongoing war." "During the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, al-Sahhaf became famous around the world as he gave international news crews optimistic but far-fetched predictions of imminent Iraqi victory, claiming that invading forces were ‘committing suicide under the walls of Baghdad” and that “we are destroying them.” However, Saddam’s armed resistance lasted just 43 days, although violence continued in the country for years." "Baker, now editor-at-large for the WSJ and a columnist for British newspaper The Times, made the comparison after a back-and-forth between Trump and Iran concerning the state of negotiations left people on both sides of the conflict confused." "In a long, all caps Truth Social post, Trump declared that "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST." "He continued: “BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!" "However, Iran's state-controlled media disputed Trump's claims, insisting that there "has been no direct or indirect contact" between Washington, D.C. and Tehran. It further claimed that Trump "backed down" after Iran threatened to attack "all power plants in West Asia." "The US President’s statements are within the framework of efforts to reduce energy prices and gain time to implement his military plans," Iran's foreign ministry said in a statement. "There are initiatives by regional countries to de-escalate tensions, and our response to all of them is clear: We are not the party that started this war, and all these requests should be referred to Washington." “*The unsettling reality is that with this president, Americans in wartime are in the unprecedented position of having to suspect that the enemy’s version of events is more likely to be true than our own,” he wrote after Iran denied Trump's claims. “We have become Baghdad Bob.*” "Along the same lines, Edward Luce, associate editor of the Financial Times, tweeted: “Strange situation where we await a statement from Iran to check whether there's any truth to what US president is saying.”

Isn’t it wonderful that this escaped mental patient is our president now

That guy was something.

So many US print media companies are charging crazy amounts for worthless BS. There are insane bums wandering the streets with more accurate info.
