Trump gives the impression of a man pulling levers that aren’t connected to anything

What an incompetent moron. Also a narcissistic demented old pedo.

"If you don't open the strait, Joe Biden will shit my pants again!" - DJT

Imagine if this whole saga hadn’t started in February.

Is this the art of the deal I've heard so much about

How many of you have whiplash from all the times Trump has changed course on this. I legit can't keep up or determine which messaging is the current message as it relates to the war with Iran.

We’re coming up on week eight of a three-day special operation. Every *f******* time a conservative gets power they do this shit in the Middle East. I’ve run out of patience for the idiots who’ve fallen for it **three times in thirty years**. F****** morons dragging us all down.

Have to keep saying that we had an open straight and a nuclear deal. Trump ripped up the nuclear deal and later bombed Iran. This was all entirely preventable. Already prevented in fact. Trump fucked it up.

The eventual "deal" that gets reached is going to look something like this: US agrees to stop bombing Iran. Iran agrees to stop bombing neighboring Gulf states. Iran agrees to open the Strait. US agrees to end blockade of the Strait. Trump declares major victory. "For the first time in history, the Strait of Hormuz is open to boat traffic and for the first time in history Iran has ceased bombing Gulf states. It's a total victory the likes of which have never been seen before. No one but Trump could have accomplished this historic feat." Nevermind that it merely represents a return to the status quo of less than 2 months ago.

Nothing he says anymore truly matters. An old man with dementia pooping his pants occupying a title of power and endlessly typing on his phone, doing nothing good for anyone. Even Iran says he talks too much and does nothing to improve anything.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE tonight, or in 48 hours from now, but definitely on Tuesday, until I extend that to Wednesday but I WILL NOT MOVE THE DEADLINE...until I cancel it for an indefinite ceasefire, then put it back in place and give Iran the ever-specific "days" to reach a deal, at which point I'll move it again. This blathering f*** is an embarrassment to humanity, to America more specifically and to anyone stupid enough to vote for him OR not vote against him most importantly. I've never even considered pissing on someone's grave before, but I may make an exception once this monster is worm food.

It’s like my neighbors dog barking at our fence. The fence ain’t afraid. The dog tires itself and everyone in the neighborhood hates that dog

In 3 months: Trump gives Iran another 3 days to return to peace talks.

Wait, wasn't today the absolute drop-dead last date? What did I miss?

It’s been a month ever since the first deadline. Just say you don’t want to do that at this point

Completely senile. And pedophile.

Sure thing Taco

He doesn’t have the stomach to actually restart the war. That’s why he’s doing this lame “Ok but you better come to the table this time or else.” That’s why I said Iran should have never agreed to the ceasefire. He was bluffing the entire time about the power plant stuff he knows that would hurt him worse than Iran.

He truly is a special kind of moron. Any quick “resolution” to this power struggle will result in the dismissal and probable arrest of the three voices (Ghalibaf, Pezeshkian and Araghchi) actually pushing for a diplomatic end to this conflict. After Araghchi’s tweet, Vahidi leveraged the - now public - power struggle between Parliament and the IRGC. In recent days he has managed to effectively degrade all government influence and mobilise the IRGC into an even more hardline stance against the U.S. with the active bombing and seizure of vessels in the Strait. He even ignored Mojtaba Khamenei’s call for peace talks, choosing to instead put a unit around him to isolate him for government officials who IRGC-run media outlets are now claiming were “corrupting” his perspective. I mean, high ranking IRGC figures are now, on state TV, calling for the arrest and execution of anybody that dares mention the possibility of talks with the U.S. and Israel, taking specific aim at Reformists like Rouhani and Zarif. What Trump doesn’t appear to understand is that whomever he thought he was “close” to getting a deal with has no power when at odds with the IRGC. To be absolutely clear, the IRGC do not just have superior military power over the government, they also have a web of control that stretches into the water, agriculture and oil industries in Iran, as well as into a myriad of other essential services. This is to say, if Vahidi says no. That’s it. Nothing anybody can do about it that wouldn’t result in a major crackdown, and if the government pushback they’ll be arrested and a symbolic coup will take place to turn Iran into an official praetorian theocracy. To expect any result outside of this is to be completely unaware of what this “power struggle” actually is. If Trump expects Iran to return to the negotiating table anytime soon, he is sorely mistaken — and if they do, it’ll be under the strict demands of Vahidi. I’ll also note that the assassination of Vahidi will not remedy this issue. Not at all. This is a systemic problem that has roots as far back as Rafsanjani’s presidency. As the Iranian parliament has slowly gravitated toward diplomacy, the IRGC has remained a staunch pro-war, anti-peace talks organisation that views any form of negotiation as capitulation to the United States and against the tenants of the revolution. It’s ingrained into their ideology.

He has no cards. Iran just needs fire a few random drones or missiles to any ships passing the Hormuz, and it is technically locked with very small cost. Trump needs to station three air carrier strike group in the region to “blockade” the strait, which cost billions a day. And stock market will crash if the strait is locked for another 30 or 60 days. Trump has no cards. He just pretended he had some.

I’m looking for a new car. I hope I can find a salesperson this bad at negotiating

I’m just glad he got that HEU because Iran was weeks away from getting a nuke again. Oh he didn’t? They weren’t building one? They still have the HEU? They now have a reason to complete a bomb? And Russia and China are supplying them with money, weapons and intelligence? Sure doesn’t seem like Trump accomplished much other than blow through $60 Billion and a ton of our munitions.

“As a sign of my mercy, I will allow the guy who has been kicking my ass a few minutes to give his knuckles a break.”

Someone, somewhere in the depths of the White House, must be telling him to keep up this brilliant strategy… because otherwise, what the hell?!

Every week the same TACO shit.

He said: ‘ww2 took years, I finished Iran in months’. This guy smokes some serious stuff.

If trump is now so dangerous and unhinged. That the general's have stopped him getting the nuclear codes.who now can remove him from power. As he is crazy enough to push the button. Kamala Harris said in the elections .that he is mad enough to do it. He should be removed as soon as possible. Before he causes a nuclear war.

I can only see the first paragraph of the article so I *may* have got the context wrong. The sentence "But they [US] also worry they [Iran] may not have anyone in Tehran empowered to say yes" According to the reports I've been listening to (including interview with the Obama era lead negotiator for Iran) Iranian negotiators *are* empowered to make decisions. So if the US are saying that, it seems to me they are getting ready with another excuse for lack of progress.

In which case the hardliners will simply seize power from the moderates

There is no timeline where Iran does jack shit prior to the midterms except keep the strait closed and meme on Trump.

14 days to be specific.

Iran knows he's going to TACO. So obvious he times everything to the markets.

Let me guess Friday at 7pm EST on the dot when all US markets close.

Ah yes just when the market closes for the weekend 

Again??

Trump is the most powerless "most powerful" person in the world. Nothing he says can be taken seriously.

"Don't make me come over there! Don't make... \[hold me back guys!\] Don't make me go over there and show you what's what!"

I thought the peace talks were off because Iran's government was "fractured" and Iran would not keep the strait closed per the US blockade to collect "nuclear dust" from the destroyed and "discombobulated" atomic faculty that will also have a working A-bomb in two weeks?

Fri afternoon he will announce they have a deal and then Fri night or early Sat morning the war will start again. When will the markets realize he is a giant grifter!???

I just hope someone tells the iranians that they are in peace talks with the US. Because it doesn't seem like they know or care about it.

Trump continually draws a line in the sand and then trys to intimidate to get his way. But apparently this time he really means it.

Trump doesn’t hold the cards

Again? Wasn’t Mexico supposed to pay for that wall? Canada was going to be our 51st state. Invading Greenland? He has no track record of success. He overpromises and never delivers, and he’s purposely keeping the strait closed. He has no neck skin in the game, American money is worthless and we have nothing to leverage, and because he wants to tell the American rich if they want it opened you’ll have to pay (in Iranian dollars). Why is America so submissive to white supremacy? Why does it let a mediocre man/ men tell them what success looks like when they have NEVER faced adversity, and were given every damn thing, and still failed.

Oh he's bored

Bombing the leadership first, hoping for a regime change and now demanding a unified Iran to make deals with is so absurd on so many levels.

Giving Iran days is providing a rogue state oxygen to survive in and continuing the pain imposed from choking the strait. What a stupid man and his stupid decisions…

This article smacks only of one source inside the Trump Whitehouse.

Or what? We’ve already seen that he’s in a weak position and on his what third or fourth ceasefire and as many extensions.

Who would have thought that decapitating the leadership of a government might lead to a power struggle?

No he doesn't. This will go on till the world ends and "it's biden's fault" says MAGA.

Seriously, at this point he needs to just quit. Pack his his shit and go home. Everyone, let’s just call it a win “wink wink”

Shit or get off the pot old man

I starting to think this Trump guy may not be that good at his job…

He doesn't understand why they don't do what he demands.

Trump.ultimatum.ver9.0-WIP

It’s that time of the week again.

Is this real time days or business days?

Hey! They are busy changing regimes! Mission accomplished.

This time he's serious guys... He's really going to do it this time.

Or?

That's the only strategy Trump has, rinse and repeat until we forget Epstein Files. If the controversy resurfaces again, just threaten or attack another country. 😂😂 It's like we're stuck on a timeline loop. 😂😂

is he even aware of linear time?

Incredibly weak president.

TACO

Any guess which side will prevail? Will the IRGC attack Tehran?

Trump has an extraordinary ability to make bad situations even worse.

Trump and his "ddadlines". I hear a laugh all the way from Iran to my house!

The phrase "China's final warning" is getting outdone by Trump.

Didn’t even read. Let me guess two weeks or 10 days?

"Don't you dare step over this line!" "OK. Don't you dare step over THIS line!" Rinse and repeat.
