Donald Trump has claimed he could approve an Iran peace deal on Friday that contains major concessions from Tehran, including the opening of the strait of Hormuz and the elimination of the country’s nuclear programme. However, top Iranian officials signalled a final agreement had not been reached.
The two versions indicate Trump may once again be practising his “art of the deal” as he seeks to talk his way out of a war that has disrupted global energy supplies and rocked the world economy.
Trump emerged from the White House situation room after spending more than two hours with senior aides but did not immediately announce his decision. The New York Times, citing a senior administration official, reported that Trump had not made a decision on the peace deal.
Trump is a lying piece of shit. Treat everything he says like it’s opposite day. “Almost have a deal” - it’s nowhere close. “I’m not even in the Epstein files, we weren’t close” - I was one of his best friends and I’m in the files more than anyone else. “I am peace” - I’ll start as many wars as I can to get the heat off of me. “The election was stolen from me” - I did my best to steal the election.
He’s incredibly simple, unintelligent, and it’s trivial to telegraph his moves.
His Board of Peace was actually Bored of Peace
Yes, but good luck convincing the red-baseball-cap-wearing masses that they made a mistake by voting for him.
Pride, hate and sunk-cost fallacy are a hell of a thing.
They’re completely a lost cause, and literally not worth an ounce of effort. Convincing less than 10% of the people that didn’t even vote would have caused an easy loss for him in 2024.
We had 89 million people not even vote. Craziness.
