He will surrender in the end and call it something else. There's immense pressure on him from several significant countries telling him to cease and desist. The economic impact of what has gone on already hasn't fully hit us yet...

Seems like every day Trump tells us he has negotiated an end to the Iranian war, the Straits will be opened, and he has won the war. But NOTHING he says can be taken seriously because he lies like he breathes. He has NO idea how to end this conflict. Unable to win the war he started, he has to make up lies of how great he is. His lies about this conflict are really pathetic!

The agreement reached will be a win for Iran. Trump and his dummies know NOTHING about anything. Except how to spread hate and lies. We will all be worse off with the agreement that will be signed. Trump will lie and say they're giving up their enriched uranium, Fox News will read that out as fact and MAGAs will believe him. The rest of us know Trump LOST. Bigly.

I remember when the strait was open and people knew Iran didn't have nuclear weapons. Then Trump decided to poke the bear and created the chaos we are living in. He made us look weak and he elevated Iran as a major player.

His ego really made a mess of things, a mess a later President will have to clean up!

This "Impeach the MF" tee is more alive than ever 👇

Impeach, convict, and remove!

sharon's avatar

No impeachment. It's a total waste of time since the senate will never convict. Investigate and send people to jail. Charge them with state crimes if at all possible, then he can't pardon.

Marlea Gilbert's avatar

I believe sharon has it right. The president’s power is in the federal system, not the states’.

The president can't pardon state crimes. That is the purview of the governor.

I suspect his regime plans on changing that pesky law. smdh

Adam Kinzinger…

Trump: “only complete and total surrender”

Iran: “nah”

Trump: “Ok then no nukes ever! We want the nuclear dust!”

Iran: “we’re keeping it”

Trump: “ok!!!! We have a deal”

Foxnews crowd: “He’s the messiah!”

hmmmm Guess the felon shouldn't have demanded the elected magas - his personal party, trash the agreement that was almost complete.... The one that the felon did not want Biden to get credit for...the one he told his personal party members to trash. And yet, I rarely read or hear this silly little part on the news... And Americans have such short memories...

Donald J Trump = Cave-Man. TACO is so last year. It's 2026 and he is now Cave-Man.

J Horn's avatar

Too bad Trump's keepers took off for the weekend holiday. If Trump, instead of acting impulsively and blindsiding his supporters, Trump had spoken privately with his key supporters before he made announcements, he could have closed the 'deal' to end the war.

There are such things as tactical victories coupled with strategic defeats. I will give two examples.

1. The Battle of the Coral Sea, 4-8 May , 1942. Here the Japanese won a tactical victory in that the IJN sank the fleet carrier USS Lexington CV-3 and lost the light carrier IJN Shoho. However the Japanese were thwarted in their plan to occupy Port Moresby so their strategic objective was not realized.

2. Viet Nam 1961-1975. Here, the US fought a war against a decidedly weaker foe and at nearly every turn were the tactical victors of battles. Yet the strategic aim of the US, mainly preventing South Viet Nam from falling under communist rule was never realized as the communist North Viet Nam eventually unified the country in April of 1975.

The United States has suffered a grievous strategic defeat in the three months of fighting in Iran, despite overwhelming tactical success. Iran is stronger domestically in that the ruling Mullahs have consolidated their power and United the country against the US and Israel who have actually demonstrated to the Iranian people that the US and Israel will bomb them just like their government has been telling them. Additionally Iran has acquired a new weapon, the ability to control the flow of more than 20% of the world’s oil by its ability to control the Strait of Hormuz. Now it seems the position of trump and his underlings is that we will pay Iran for the luxury of losing this war.

I guess this is what you get when you are led by a reality TV star who has failed at everything meaningful in his life and his secretary of defense who was a weekend Fox News host with a drinking problem

WJB Motown's avatar

The Department of War.......in reality is the Department of Defeat. Kegsteth fired ever miliatry mind that would have told Orange Hitler Iran could easily be supplied through the Caspian Sea!!! This would have be on page one of Basics of Strategy.

History repeats........The real Hitler fired the general who told him that Romanian and Italian troops holding the line around Stalingrad were too weak and needed to be strengthened.

When Russia unleshed Operation Uranis...they were crushed totally and Stalingrad was surrounded.......

When the Stalingrad relieve operation under General Manestin reached 40 miles from the beseiged city....Hitler refused to order the surrounded Germans to break out and meet them.

From this point on Germany would retreat all the way back to Berlin.

Orange Hitler is doing the same thing to America........leading the nation to destruction.

The people need to rise up and take over the streets.......both parties are compromised by AiPAC and doner money. People Rise up!!!!

Paul Bourdon's avatar

I think this is a pretty good analogy, when you fire the experts because they don't tell you what you want to hear!

Geri Cochran's avatar

I've been screaming since he announced his candidacy in 2015. Too many people either want the end of our democratic republic; want to continue to hate and punish those not like them; or simply don't give a crap. Millions of them who complain a great deal and do nothing. :(

WJB Motown's avatar

Christian Nationalism is a big reason why the USA is being destroyed from the inside out. The Orange Duchbag was out there saying how much he hates successful people.......the rest of the planet is fed up with the jetstream of bullshit and is moving on.

Sher''s avatar

" strategic defeat" sounds good to me!

Lee Lenard's avatar

Very good analysis. From my military intelligence position in Saigon, we did not win over the masses of people we were trying to keep free of communism. They were just trying to work, have food and live day by day.

Geri Cochran's avatar

And millions of Americans who chose hatred over unity. MILLIONS. smdh And I suspect many of these millions claim they are Christians. lol

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Right. The shooting. When I first heard of it, I immediately thought it was staged. He conveniently decided to skip Jr's wedding to be at the White House? He's never at the White House on weekends. Excuse was to work on a "deal" with Iran. It was a complete "surrender." Knew he would use this shooting for his ballroom. The guy was not attempting to assassinate him, he was a mental case and well known with the secret service. Nice try! 🙄 We don't believe you!

Mauimom's avatar

"He's never at the White House on weekends" --has anyone made a graph comparing weekend or "golf weather" when he's not at the White House?

Susan Raquel's avatar

Hope someone does that, it would be interesting.

Lee Lenard's avatar

You have it correct. Another stage. NO ONE who truly has intentions to shoot the president is going to just walk up to a gate and shoot at the guards or run thru a hotel lobby one floor above the location and start shooting…..this is all so elementary. They find these mental cases, pay them and convince them to carry out these acts.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I thought pretty much the same. They are paying these mentally ill people to come with a gun. If you ask me, that is cruelty. Instead of getting these people help, they manipulate them with money. Just evil and cruel. All this for his stupid ballroom. All attempts are staged to get what he wants. This time it was more obvious than the WHC dinner. They just more pathetic each time.

Geri Cochran's avatar

I wonder who the people were that he'd been talking to. Guess we'll never know.

Leah Baum's avatar

He has cried wolf too many times now, every time a shooting happens I believe it’s staged. Every weekend he’s at Mag A Lardo cheating at his game of golf. I realize he hates his kids except for the daughter he lusts over. Last year he hosted Tiffany wedding at Mag A Lardo. Did he attend that wedding because her husband is a billionaire? I believe it was another staged event because he has the same routine every weekend. That toddler demands his stupid ballroom.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I believe the first one in Butler, PA might have been real. He discovered how much attention he received and it actually benefited him. In his sick mind, he thinks this will help his poll numbers every time there is a shooting and of course get his ballroom. This poor mentally ill man lost his life instead of getting the help he needed. They used him and that is sick.

Ann Marie's avatar

As usual they think we are stupid

Geri Cochran's avatar

And, if they really are Christians, they must think God is also stupid. smh

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

They are not "real" Christians. I have no idea what they are? I've been trying to figure it out for a decade, possibly longer.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Yes, they are painting us all with the stupid MAGA brush.

Carole137's avatar

According to Grok on Twitter (or X as it's now called), Donnie did not attend Jr.'s wedding because they do not allow sex offenders on the island where the wedding was taking place.

Signe K.'s avatar

I read it was because they don't allow convicted felons.

Carole137's avatar

It's probably both.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Who really knows if Don Jr. was involved in Epstein activities???

Geri Cochran's avatar

lol That's a good chuckle. thanks

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Trump is desperately trying to be Putin's, Xi's and Bibi's "bitch." He doesn't know who to please.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I think “the bitch” has a special place in his heart for Putin. That’s just my opinion.

Susan Raquel's avatar

trump wants to be accepted by people that he admires. It is like the abusive husband, beat the living daylights out of girlfriend/wife, apologize, bring flowers and beat the living s..t out of her/him again. Repeat over and over again with the same results each time.

Victim always wanting to believe that the abuser really means it. THIS TIME.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

The idiot needs to realize that he’s being used. He’s to STUPID to understand that. He doesn’t live in reality.

Gail Adams VA/FL's avatar

Use “dumb” instead. He hates it. Or maybe it’s “dum”.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I didn’t know that. I’ll use dumb in the future. Anything to piss the conman off. TY

Geri Cochran's avatar

I've worked in Crisis Centers...it is exactly that pattern...Women stay in those relationships at their own peril. Why are we allowing him to do this to us?

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I think you're right. I often think so myself.

ramonaj's avatar

He will waste all his time trying Joanne. None of them like him or us. They are over joyed we have an idiot they can manipulate to destroy the West. We have to listen to shitheads like Cheung, Hedgehog, Blanche and the other morons treat us like we are stupid. Memorial Day. Shame on them .

They still can't govern. Are not qualified to do shit except sink us further and blame anyone they can for their failure.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That's why all 3 wanted him to win the 2024 election and more than likely chipped in $$$. Alas Dum-Dum Donny.

They will ruin the holiday for sure. We learn to expect it.

ramonaj's avatar

I'm very tired and unhappy today. I can't even make up a joke 😒 Have fun guys. Ramona , OUT. 💔

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Get some rest and I hope you feel better ❤️

CA's avatar

So they tell the Iranians to not pay attention to his rants. Which one of the repugs will grow a spine and tell MAGA to not pay any mind to his crappy truth social

Ron's avatar

I'd include the media on that. Any article that begins with "trump says...", is always followed by a lie, so I skip it. Same for "trump claims..."

BellaB63's avatar

Bibi is giving us everything we need to charge and convict Felon47 and his administration. Flip congress!

Susan Walker's avatar

I want to know how a guy who believes he’s Jesus Christ got a gun.

Oh, right, this is the USA.

Heather's avatar

Me too! They knew him, how can this happen, or why haven’t the guns been taken away from him? This is crazy and tragic!

uRNangel423's avatar

And they want the US Postal Service to allow guns through the mail! NOT!!

Old Uncle Dave's avatar

Trump signed a resolution in 2017 that blocked an Obama-era rule, which would have prevented certain individuals with mental disorders from buying guns.

ramonaj's avatar

And I thought DC was saved by the turd from all weapons and the safest place on earth.

Mattie's avatar

Although I fully realize that this is short sighted, I am enjoying seeing Trump voters whine as they fill up their large trucks and SUVs. You have to appreciate those small moments of joy while you can.

Sharon Herrick's avatar

This, my friend, is completely reasonable.

Diana's avatar

I could be wrong, but I think this is the shortest time frame in which one of Trump's "deals" concerning Iran has tanked. They never even uncapped the pen to get the ink onto the page.

Candace Lucas's avatar

what an absolute freaking idiot!!

He's apparently going AGAIN to Walter Reed this coming week. I hope to hell it's so the doctors can declare him incompetent!

As for that squealing little pig steven chueng, someone should put him on a spit and make barbeque spare ribs. what an ugly little man.

ramonaj's avatar

I'd love to see him get the shit beat out of him. Snarky, ugly , blob of waste.

Stephen Cheung, the human butt plug, dislodge himself from Chump's ass, spews shit, and reinsert himself for future shitpostings 🍸

Signe K.'s avatar

I wonder what Cheung means by "professional," since it appears he hasn't a clue. Immature, yes. Professional, not at all.

ramonaj's avatar

He is a professional fat producing POS

Sharon Herrick's avatar

"Human butt plug"---my absolute favorite description of Herr Cheung.

ramonaj's avatar

Missi that was hilarious 😂

Richard fried's avatar

trump is the present day equivalent of the boy who cried wolf. Every announcement he makes regarding his war is designed to make the price of oil go down, even though there is no substance behind them. he has totally boxed himself into a corner by being duped by Bibi and the premise that regime change in Iran could be achieved and ultimately trump would gain the right to develop property in a "new Iran". Bibi blew smoke up trump's ass and he fell for it and we pay the price every day.

Geri Cochran's avatar

And he and his children are making off like the bandits they are. Insider trading is a great way to get richer, especially when one is immune to consequences. smh

Can we bring back obamas team of negotiators asap

N. Walters's avatar

...can we bring back Obama...

Sharon M. Morrison's avatar

Trump, Rubio, Hegseth and newly departed Gabbard all made it very clear that Donald Trump alone was calling the shots in Iran. They chided those who dared to suggest that Donald's "gut" was not superior to the judgment of battle tested military leaders and retired military personnel in the Congress. Soooo. this disaster is all on Trump--from the jaw dropingly irresponsible decision to attack Iran in the first place. Was it because he wanted to distract from damning evidence being found in the Epstein files? Or was it to clean out our military asset inventory to make room for new production by companies in which his "boys" had financial interest? If the nation survives, historians will sort it out. I don't think it will go well for Trump.

Lee Lenard's avatar

Double benefit…achieved both…Epstein not being pursued, Military industries getting wealthier and giving trump his kickbacks. Putin told him that’s the way it works in Russia…..

King Con's last name will be joining the list four-letter words that shouldn't be spoken aloud in good company. I have excluded it from my vocabulary.

Marg Jones's avatar

Which name is that?

L B Rose's avatar

Tr**p. Yes, technically it's five letters. But it's an offensive word.

AZ Snap Schotts's avatar

Well you could drop the "T" & then it becomes a four letter word that's a synonym of the "Gluteus Maximus."

L B Rose's avatar

True. I'll sit on it.....

Cheung: “Mike Pompeo has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about. He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals.”

Cheung, the Director of White House "Communications" schooling Pompeo or anyone else on "professionals" is rich. The dude is rude and vulgar and a terrible communicator.

As for the current regime,Trump in particular, the word "professionals" does not apply.

Linda Friedman Ramirez's avatar

Must have been hell of classes to teach such skills: Cheung attended California State University, Sacramento, but did not earn a degree.

Dave from California's avatar

Maybe Cheung rejected the skills taught; thought, “I'm going to do the opposite”, and dropped out; eventually met Trump, and it was a marriage made in hell. 😬

Old Uncle Dave's avatar

Before becoming trump's mouthpiece, he was the communications director for the UFC.
