    Nice of Trump to make sure that Vance got to fill some losing too. Vance leaks to the media that he wasn’t pro Iranian invasion…. Trump has him headline the negotiations, knowing it would fail.

    no deal is happening unless Bibi Satanyahu wants it to happen

    Trump is nothing more than his streetwalker he puts on the corner

    Trump and the rest of his low IQ lackeys in this regime are nothing more than Bibi henchmen shining his shoes as he sits at the head of the table and asking “Anything else, boss?”

    all the worst leaders in the world wanted Trump to win: the dictators, the fascists, the power hungry warmongers

    aside from having blackmail on Trump, he’s also very easy to bribe…this hoe will do anything for a dollar

    Trump & Co have so ridiculously overplayed their hand and continue to do so to a degree that they don't need to get Bibi involved in order to screw the pooch here.

    If they'd gotten close to a deal, I could see connecting the dots and blaming Israel, but both sides entered with VASTLY different opinions about who held the leverage and so neither side was remotely interested in the other side's "deal".

    "Never blame on malise that which can be adiquately explained by stupidity."

    This negotiation was so FUBAR at conception that Bibi didn't have to lift a finger for it to sink like the Titanic.

    I'm confused. What is Trump's play? How are he and his family and friends playing the Market before opening bell on Monday morning.

    none of the negotiations are serious because we are being held hostage by Israel…they are nothing more than a farce, and Iran isn’t entertaining the nonsense

    Netanyahu was literally in the Situation Room and convinced Trump to do a joint attack because he is Trump’s daddy…it’s also why there’s been 7 different reasons for why we started this war because the regime can’t just come out and say that they did it on the behest of Israel

    all this sending Jared Kushner, Witkoff, and now JD Vance is just symbolic at best…if Israel doesn’t want a deal, then no deal is happening

    Trump is compromised…this is why you don’t elect a corrupt pedophile as president

    while JD Vance and the other henchmen were making fools of themselves, this POS is busy at UFC…

    They shorted SPY before closing bell on Friday and longed WTI. Regular citizens continue to get ****ed while the Epstein class gets richer.

    Ask yourself sincerely what the reaction would be from fox news and right media aid a democratic secretary of state was at a sporting event at the time of a failed negotiation overseas in the middle of a war? How do you even compete with this media juggernaut the right has?

    Vance thought he was going to go in there, get a deal, and seal his path to being President in 2028. Reality said F U!

    @Nook US is an occupied country and the sooner we break away from Israel the better for everyone.

    US oil exports are at a record high I believe, those oil companies will probably flood the campaigns of his friends at the upcoming midterms. Making sure he doesn’t get neutered.

    As far as personal gains, it kind of doesn’t matter. People don’t understand there’s no creativity going on here. His family knows what the market don’t know. They can do 30 times leverage without worrying about ever losing since they will be right 99% of the time. So they can multiply their wealth 30+ times relatively easily without needing to be clever or creative, just by placing regular bets. So if he stashed a billion with Ivanka, that’s probably $30bn now sitting in Ivanka’s various friends accounts/businesses - which will return to Trump once his term is up. It’s very easy to evade US insider trading regulations, there’s practically a template.

    I'm not sure why we wanted a cease-fire in the first place. Well, beyond making insider deals, I guess. The administration clearly doesn't want this conflict to end. Perhaps the thinking is that the voters will rally to a war-time president and his party? And really, who could fault them for thinking that? After all, you often get unpopular things from the GOP who turn on their media system and repeat how wonderful things are over and over, which leads to a 2-week turnaround in support from the base. But that media system is cracking and the war is so badly justified and executed that wishful thinking and propaganda is not going to make the difference this time--and any ground actions will not help. We'll see if they can squeeze the $1.5 trillion defense budget through before the Congress changes and/or gas is closer to $10 than $1.

    What a feces show.
