Trump Considering Pakistani PM's Request he Extend Iran Deadline, White House Says

Yep, 6 pm on the east coast npw

You understand the game. These f****** criminals have got to go.

But you know someone loaded up on calls/puts, depending on what TACO is going to do tonight.

1/3 of the country *actively supports* this behavior, which is insane

How he’s not being escorted from the White House by the US secret service and handed over to the marshal service to be put in a prison (edit: while he stands trial in a court of law) is beyond me. (The above requires an impeachment, then senate 2/3 majority to convict, and then tried and convicted in a court of law. The lack of articles of impeachment is concerning).

It was incredible the first time around,it’s truly unbelievable now. If you wrote this in a novel or a screenplay it would be rejected due to it being completely implausible,unless it was a slapstick comedy.

Trump’s second presidency highlights the biggest flaw in our constitution—you can get past checks and balances by stacking every branch of government with sycophants.

Not incredible, actually right on point at the late stage of a dying empire

Nah it’s far more incredible that most of the country’s population found his actions hilarious over the last 2 years. I’ve learned to laugh along now, but I can’t wait for the punchline that will be the ground invasion 

The fact that the entire *~~country~~* Stock Market and Inside Traders has bent over and just accepted this behaviour is becoming somewhat NORMAL.

Well he didn't chicken out yet. Still got 2 hours.

TRUMP ALWAYS CASHES OUT. STOCK TRADES FINALISED

Taco’d out with tariffs, Greenland, now this.

This is exactly what Trump has waiting for. Put the blame on someone else. Say they're negotiating when they really aren't.

Well it is TACO Tuesday.

What's this about taco? I'm assuming it's colloquial and not actual taco but not US so unsure. Guessing something to do with market manipulation?

dude is literally f****** Cartman. [One punch and he has the biggest f****** temper tantrum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNyV_axxhrk)

I’m counting down, I’m gonna do it! 3… 2 …. 1 3/4 … 1 5/8 ….

I visualized this lmao

It's ridiculous how much emberassing stuff is happening in a short time. I can't keep up with all that.

Emperor Hyperbole and his Adjective Gang are doing foreign press releases too, now. Heaven help us.

That one

Wait really? Source? I hate that this is not even a headline

Really wish this was the top comment.

Wait, REALLY? Because that's exactly what I thought would happen yesterday.  Holy embarrassing shit, this is so funny/sad.

He will just make up an out nothing he says ever has to have some truth in it. "I’ve been talking to the new regime. We had a very big conversation, a l strong conversation, and I will tell you. It was incredible. It’s really something, folks. Some people are already calling it a miracle. They’re coming up to me, they’re saying, 'Sir, I can’t believe you did it.' Nobody thought it could be done, they said it was impossible, so it really was a tremendous effort from me. A lot of talent in that room, some very bright people the Iraqi's. They’re saying, 'How did you fix it so fast?' because, let’s be honest, it was a disaster. A total, complete disaster. So, I’m giving them what I call a 'Gem.' That’s what they called it, actually, they said, 'Sir, this is a gem.' Because you have to take care of these things. You have to be delicate. I’m being very generous because I'm a generous person, maybe too gracious, but that's okay. I told them, 'Take this week. We don’t want your oil anyway was CHINA does, but take this, open up the oil, and we won’t do it.' Not today, at least. Maybe another day, maybe next week, maybe tomorrow, we'll see what happens, but we won’t do it today. And I told them, I said, 'Wow, would you look that!' It’s really something. All because of this new regime change, we have a whole different feel, so we won't do it today because of this gem. And maybe they’ll open up the Straits. We held our side, we were very firm, very strong, so maybe they will too. We’ll see. We’re going to see very soon. And if they don’t? I’ll tell you what: they’re going to be really, really sorry in a few days' time. It won't be pleasant, believe me. Total annihilation, but hopefully we won't have to do it."

Also Pakistan has Nukes, you don't steal oil from or interrupt an economy that has nukes.

Unhinged sure, but he’s acting like the actor he is. He’s made more money being president than he could have ever imagined in the private sector. I don’t think this is derangement or ignorance/ego. They’ve played the US public like a fiddle and y’all are doing nothing about it. Just like how these strikes won’t occur. How many billions will transfer tmw when the markets open? Cowards.

Agreed. None of the TACO commenters are outside the US where the threats are aimed. Real fuckin' funny.. Total knee-slapper.

Planes are already in the air. He wants to drop a load before agreeing so he can get all pissy when they retaliate

He’s been watching heated rivalry

I’ll take that over nuclear annihilation

Trump is a weak man’s idea of strong man, a poor man’s idea of a rich man and a dumb man’s idea of a smart man.

When you hear "two weeks," you know where it comes from.

Yeah, I’ve said this elsewhere but: you can’t “mad man doctrine” everyone, all the time.  People will just write you off as nuts and tune it out.. or you follow through and then everyone just hates you anyway.  There really isn’t much in the way of good outcomes to be had. You’d think he’d try something else 🤷‍♂️

The PM is clueless and himself a puppet of the Army chief

No cilantro on mine please, I have that soap gene

And his friends and family gain yet another couple million from insider info on Polymarket bets.

'2 Weak' Trump will turn it into a permanent postponement just like all his other promises.

Would you rather the alternative?

"Then Iran was rescued by, oh let's say, Pakistan."

This is almost literally his MO since he retook power last year, keep manipulating the markets for money, or just to make money.I doubt there’s much of a tertiary reason he does the things he does

Literally everybody.
