Is it any wonder when we sent over three idiots? They have zero negotiating skills.

Renee Goodman's avatar

No one in this regime has any negotiating skills! They are all ass kissers and the Dumpster is so delusional he doesn’t remember anything one minute to the next!

Linda Harris's avatar

You do not go into negotiations and demand when you are on the losing side. Any fool could figure that out. We took out a 50 year old Air Force and Navy and other than infrastructure and innocent lives what else did trump accomplish. They still have drones, they still have missiles, they still have mines, they still have IRG boats that can take out ships and/or block the strait.

From what was reported above, it sounded like Iran found enough of their obliterated navy to cause our ships to turn around. Don't forget the original objective was to get their uranium and prevent them from enriching it enough. Seems they still have the uranium, enough navy to turn ours around, and thousands of inexpensive easily replaced drones. And don't forget they are a people who think that death will elevate them. Pretty stupid to play chicken with a group that has nothing to lose.

Trump regime have achieved rising fuel prices across the globe. I just paid double to fill up my tank.

Guess where all that extra money is going?? Straight into these evil greedy billionaire pockets

JD Vance, Kushner and Witkoff learned their negotiating skills from the master. How many will pretend that Trump was brilliant in his 'negotiating' skills?

Not sure why anybody would be surprised. What evidence was there that Vance had any negotiating skills, let alone in international conflict resolution? Did the press really think the fake Hillbilly had extraordinary negotiating skills?

Another disastrous day of the diplomacy for the Trump team. It's a joke at this point. Nothing will change until the gutless media is honest. This administration is a never-ending clown show! This is just the price we will have to pay for the idiots that voted for Trump and we will just have to deal with it. I hope it's a lesson we all learn from.

“The Iranian delegation negotiated continuously and intensively for 21 hours in order to protect the national interests of the Iranian people; despite various initiatives from the Iranian delegation, the unreasonable demands of the American side prevented the progress of the negotiations. “Thus the negotiations ended,” [Iranian state broadcaster] IRIB said." The Guardian 12-Apr-26/UK https://tinyurl.com/3x82z537

The explanation advanced by Iran is more reasoned and realistic, which is not to say correct or complete. It suggests that despite Iran’s stated willingness to compromise, and “various initiatives” it advanced, Iran could not overcome "unreasonable demands" in opposition advanced by the US. The failure was predictable. The US negotiators, none of whom is a Secretary or Assistant Secretary of State or a career diplomat, were in over their heads. Real estate and venture capital negotiations are very different from international political and diplomatic negotiations. What Vance's intended purpose there was remains unclear. With these three, negotiations appear to be a US pretext to walk away from the cease fire and renew hostilities, ill-considered if US ships are near the SoH.

This didn't have a thing to do with 'negotiating skills' because tRump never intended to negotiate. The minute he changed the 'terms' - and likely without telling the Iranians - it was no longer an opportunity to communicate, persuade, or compromise. At most tRump wanted a photo op. tRump probably doesn't even know what the word means.

By the way, has anyone EVER seen his school or college transcripts? His diplomas?

we have a total idiot as a 'president'.

Linda Harris's avatar

Who is now bored with the war he started. He is at a UFC event-please. I swear if they start building that arch, I will tear it down with my bare hands. How many of our service people did they put in danger when they tried that stunt with the 2 destroyers. Iran is right, the US did not go into these negotiations with good intent.

Carolyn Reynolds's avatar

i will join you on the deconstruction team

Linda Harris's avatar

We can take down the ballroom too.

Carolyn Reynolds's avatar

and rip out the remodel of the Kennedy center.

io bonini's avatar

And take the banners of his grotesque image off the DOJ building, and then "ROAD TRIP"... to FL. Mara Lardo could use some fumigation.

Linda Harris's avatar

OK we are on a roll now. So much to do so little time. Thanks for the "Road trip". I needed that before I hit the bed with a smile.

io bonini's avatar

Well LH, Just let me know when you're planning on monument deconstruction...I'll bring the tools.

Mayra's avatar

They will have to install 100 camaras around it in order to stop vandalism. It will be the best place to carry fun signs, eg, "Trump is a PEDO", for all foreign tourists to see, film and take home with them.

Maui Wahine's avatar

We will all show up but rather than tear down how about a sit-in to prevent any construction whatsoever? Itʻs an abomination!

”We’ve been at it for 20 hours.”We’ve seen y’all negotiate before. It’s always a pathetic shit show. By the way , we had a nuclear agreement with Iran, however the orange clown tore it up. 🤷‍♀️

Repackage the Obama deal and call it the Trump deal - might work because DJT lives in his own version of reality.

Any President watching a fight when war negotiations are going on should not be a president.

David M. Carew's avatar

AS LONG as LOSER TRUMP is POS-POTUS, America will continue to become weaker, more immoral, and more blitheringly incompetent.

Cheryl Goodson's avatar

And Israel got what they wanted. To continue the war with Iran. Israel wants Iran gone. They don’t care if people die as long as they are gone and they found the biggest sap to join them. Donald J Trump.

Linda Harris's avatar

They also want to take over Lebanon. They didn't even stop bombing when trump first said there was a cease fire. They answer to no one. Bibi took to the air to say they were not through with their objectives. They will be really pleased the talks failed.

Cheryl Goodson's avatar

Definitely. I had read earlier that Israel was hoping the talks would fail and I think Trump did also, so he could say he tried.

Linda Harris's avatar

And I guess wash his hands of it. He really does think Americans are stupid. We will never forget Epstein or Iran or all the fraud he has committed. He wanted this war. His advisors and the intelligence community told him what would happen but he only listened to Bibi.

Elizabeth J. Sampson's avatar

They want to rid them selves of a terrorist and terrible group, Hezbollah. They have a mission to destroy Israel. What would America do if instead of being wonderful, the Canadians harbored a large group intent on bombing to death the US? So easy to be antisemitic when you know nothing.

Carol Erlingheuser's avatar

To be against the actions of Netanyahu does not mean one is antisemitic.

Janice Franks Antal's avatar

Israel wants Palestine and Lebanon gone.

I wouldn’t wanna be a republican running for office

I wouldn't want to be a republican.😳

Debbie Madrid's avatar

I certainly hope so, Unbelievable what these people have done to our country, This ass JD Vance campaigning for a dictator, Says everything these fucks are trying to do,

Cathy Delano's avatar

Even the ones not running for office are devoid of morality.

Aunt Tifa's avatar

Dang, Rubio looks wasted.

Sherry's avatar

Iran said it didn't trust Trump. They were right.

Linda Harris's avatar

What's embarrassing is that there is hardly a country out there, including our allies, that trust the US with trump in power.

Sherry's avatar

You are so right. And why should they!

Hard to come to an agreement when one Party won’t stop committing genocide and won’t come to the table

Janis Elliott's avatar

how is it not bad for america? Do we want to continue paying $11,000 per minute and risking American lives??

Susan Nelson's avatar

Color me unsurprised 😒

CBKasner's avatar

I know we have a power craze man that thinks power is supposed to dictate everything but we’re 2026 and people actually like to use communication organization and strategy not starting a war and then expecting I ran to end it the way you want to especially since you blew it up for nothing there was no reason to do this and you just did it and ripped up the only thing that was actually in place Obama‘s deal to have Jack shit this is what you get

Jennet Bryan's avatar

Plenty of ehst that cretin does is to destroy, change any thing President Barack Obama has achieved. If people looked st the track record they'd see he started in his first term either Medicaid, etc. Now this is a big deal to change because President Barack Obama was do successful with the deal abd he hates that. 😠🤬

That's the whole reason Jared kushner and witless wonder are there. To make sure there's no ceasefire with Iran, at izrahells behest. Izrahell wants to continue their ethnic cleansing and genocide, coupled with land and resource theft in Lebanon, as well as Syria and Palestine.

Cathy Delano's avatar

No more funding for Israel - US taxpayers have been squeezed and our military will need to replenish but since this is not Congress approved “war” we say NO to more funding for this ill-conceived immoral war.

Linda Harris's avatar

I'm surprised that kushner and witlesskoff took their lips off Netanyahu's butt long enough to make it to the talks.

Elizabeth J. Sampson's avatar

For someone who can’t spell, history must be a mystery. Snuff.

“We have not reached an agreement. And I think that’s bad news for Iran, much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America…They have chosen not to accept our terms.”

If this is how Yale mints lawyers it should stop. Vance is as bad an attorney as he is a politician, and his abilities as a diplomat and a negotiator are nonexistent. From Harvard, which properly trains negotiators: “Three core features of negotiation: 1) Interdependence – You need the other party; 2) Mixed interests – Some goals overlap, others conflict; and 3) Communication – Agreement requires dialogue.”

“They have chosen not to accept our terms.” That is not how the process works. Negotiation requires mutual and reciprocal give and take and agreements are reached by consensus, with each side getting what it needs but not necessarily all it wants. Bully power-plays are just that.

As I just read one MTN contributor's description I'll share as she called the trio Huey, Luey, and Duey! How fitting!

Wait a minute, yukking it up at UFC with Joe Rogan? Is the little spat over now? Huh!?!

Ken Chetwynd's avatar

Not that it matters….

Ken Chetwynd's avatar

I think that’s actually Dana White?

SFGal's avatar

Thanks, Ken! I'm truly ignorant in such matters. Give Rogan credit where credit due under the circumstances. All those overweight baldy dudes look the same to me, especially the ones hanging out with DT.

Ken Chetwynd's avatar

Haha…you make a good point SFGal!

SFGal's avatar

There's a community named Chetwynd in British Columbia -- any links to you?

Ken Chetwynd's avatar

Not that I’m aware of, but it is a fairly uncommon name.

SFGal's avatar

I had to look it up, Anglo-Saxon surname dating back to the 7th Century Shropshire, England. Interesting.

SFGal's avatar

Looks like it might be Welsh. Interesting coincidence with B.C.
