    "We're taking it. We're taking it. Very simple. Very simple. With Iran. We're going in. With Iran. We're taking it. We will have it. I don't call it boots on the ground."

    OK, Mr. President, what do you call it? Because we are either going in and taking it or we are not.

    When all is said and done we can rest safe at night knowing we have 23-year-old former gardener and grocery store clerk in charge of terrorism prevention. Trump only hires the best candidates.

    Well, **** yeah. Everyone should be saying this.

    This is peak FAFO.

    FA: killed JCPOA

    FO:
    Iran enriched uranium to near weapons-grade
    (Elective) War with Iran
    Strait closed, mad scramble
    TBD

    When this is all said and done, and Trump is the arsonist who started a house fire and then put out his own fire, multiple rooms have burned down, if not the whole house.

    I personally think he did this war for one reason...he wanted a simple win to solidify his legacy. He thought it would go swimmingly based on the Venezuela overthrow success. And, yes, Bibi talked him into it with a presentation. All the other reasons Trump lists for the war I believe are secondary to his ego.

    He has been extremely frustrated with democracy. Every domestic issue is turning bad, and he can’t just wield his power to control it (in ways he thinks would turn the tide). That’s not the case with the military - he’s the commander in chief and can almost do anything he wants with the military (since Congress retired in early 2025). He’s desperate for wins and thinks the military would be easy peasy.

    He’s not even putting effort into his lying anymore.

    Let's see what is happening this morning, shall we?

    First, let's check in with Lebanon:

    It doesn't seem like everyone agrees on what a cease-fire means. Now, about that Strait:

    But talks are happening, right?

    Surely though, the Strait will soon open for real and gas prices will go down, right?

    Oh. Well, at least we got those good vibes flowing before the market closed on Friday. I look forward to some other grand announcement by our President on Monday.

    How long are Republicans going to pretend this chaos is normal- or even great?

    LOL

    It's just like when he threw a hissy fit ranting and raving for Fox to fire Jessica Tarlov Thursday saying "She makes up poll numbers, and nobody challenges her because she is so boring. I have among the best poll numbers I have ever had. ... Get her off the air, she is bad for our country!"

    All anyone has to do is look at all the polls to know he's full of sh*t.

    The funniest part about this saga is watching @El_Conquistador bragging about things that Trump "accomplished" which literally changes every day.

    Brags about Trump ending the war...war starts again the very next day

    Brags about Trump's cease fire...cease fire lasts 2 hours

    Brags about the Strait being open...the Strait is closed 10 mins later.

    Dude is so eager to fellate Trump, like a lapdog. Never seen someone on another man's jock strap as much as him. It's so funny

    People are glossing over this market manipulation.

    this is the elites and oligarchy literally reaching in and draining pensions etc to help further destroy the middle class

    If you think people like you getting trolled is funny, then I guess it’s funny?

    That account doesn’t care about being right, consistent, or embarrassed. It (and several others here) only cares about getting attention, and every reply, tag, and/or reference to it achieves just that. It’s baffling to me that people still don’t understand how trolling works in 2026.

    I'm so old I remember yesterday when our President said these things:

    Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World!

    Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL.

    Again! This deal is not tied, in any way, to Lebanon, but we will, MAKE LEBANON GREAT AGAIN!

    Iran, with the help of the U.S.A., has removed, or is removing, all sea mines! Thank you!

    The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers – No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!

    A GREAT AND BRILLIANT DAY FOR THE WORLD! DJT

    This is what happens when your reality is based on social media tweets

    You have to understand Trump doesn't care catering to independents or moderates. The only demographic he cares about pleasing is his hard-core cultists which is why @Os Trigonum @El_Conquistador came running into this thread bootlicking Trump yesterday praising him.

    It's a cult ND yall need to realize this before it's too late
