Trump has been lying about Irans desire for a deal from the beginning. He’s been the one most desperate to make something happen. Every statement from him is a confession.

They know that there's elections coming up, so they'll just wait it out and make it more and more unpopular. After this latest round of attacks, Trump's response is so weak that they know they're negotiating from a position of power.
He'll give them whatever they want so he can say he made a peace deal.

negotiated/stopped bombing them. At least, that is how it reads to me without further context.

I don't think it refers to the miscalculation at the very beginning of this bad business which we would all agree upon but almost everyone in the WH would still dispute.

Isn't going to make any difference.

who gave him tons of money and gifts in expectation of protection were being attacked by Iran. They told him to stop.

Donnie got himself into this mess with nobody to bail him out.

Who knew.

Not smart..

everybody needs to be subservient because they are just stupid.

Whoever leaked that out will be tar and feather and fired. Better yet, DOJ and acting AG will indict the person.

He is 100% responsible. He overplayed his “cards”.

He will go down as one of the worst world leaders in history because he started this.

Every zealot syncophant and spineless congress person...

They own this too

Something like this hasn't happened before

What the final costs will be.

Official U.S. casualty figures in the conflict with Iran stand at 13 service members killed in action and over 360 wounded.

The majority of the wounded sustained minor injuries, though a portion required serious medical treatment.

AND FOR WHAT? High gas prices? They should all be healthy and fine!

One of Rubio's deputies. Or someone from the NSA.

Given the nature of the rumblings, I would've thought someone from Vance's camp, not Rubio nor Hegseth nor Wiles.

...while they are playing no limit Texas Holdem.

.Fortunately nobody knows as much about miscalculating as Donnie the Dim!

He does everything by whim of the moment.

Instead, they're letting him twist slowly in the wind....

Chump is on his own, and he knows he started this when he tore up Obama's treaty in 2018.
He deserves the opposite of the Nobel Peace Prize, whatever that may be.

Just imagine if this was a democratic president. The media would lose their shit.

Service members should be irate about the lack of planning and consideration. This is the kind of crap we marched against regarding Iraq!!

And we know this for a fact because he told us himself.

====================

Who would have thought that the billions of taxpayers dollars 'invested' in the military industrial complex, and the God given moral superiority America assumes is theirs, would be insufficient to stomp a supposedly backwards country like Iran into the ground?

Yet here we are.

I understand that hackers have taken over the "Jumbotron" at Madison Square Garden and plan a UUUUUUGE surprise or two or tnree.

That would give him a stroke, since he physically cannot get a heart attack.

Any difference?
