THIS IS NOT AMERICA WINNING. THIS IS INCOMPETENCE.

Shocking. The Middle East ceasefire the Prez announced Tuesday night fell apart almost immediately. Israel said they weren’t consulted. And nerts to stopping the bombing of Lebanon. So Iran, who had been letting certain ships through the Strait of Hormuz, said nerts to Israel and closed the strait again. Our Veep said there was a “legitimate misunderstanding” about whether the ceasefire included Lebanon. “We never made that promise,” he said. But Pakistan, who posted the terms of the ceasefire on Tuesday, said nerts to him with a reminder that the agreement did indeed include a ceasefire in Lebanon. Meanwhile reporting says while Trump claimed Iran was begging for a deal to end hostilities, it was actually the Trump administration that was pushing Pakistan to broker a deal with Iran. And that the WH was helping to craft the Pakistani PM’s social media statements, suggesting Trump “was actively looking for a way out of the crisis” as his own deadline to commit civilization-killing war crimes loomed. Pete Hegseth triumphantly hooted that the US has had a “historic and overwhelming victory” that achieved “every single objective.” Is that so? Iran survived a 38-day barrage from the US and Israel. It gained control over the Strait of Hormuz, harming America’s economy. And the world’s. And Iran’s new leadership is even more anti-Western than the previous leadership. Great job. And to confirm our victory, the ultimate deal-maker posted his own aspirational interpretation of the terms of the agreement by asking for Iran to agree to terms that were less advantageous for the US than the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that Obama negotiated in 2015. And that Trump tore up in 2018. Trump also suggested the US was considering joining the Iranians in demanding tolls for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it.” His favorite kind of deal. Extortion. But by Wednesday night, Trump was backpedaling on victory. “All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with. If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the ‘Shootin’ Starts,’ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before. It was agreed, a long time ago, and despite all of the fake rhetoric to the contrary—NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS and, the Strait of Hormuz WILL BE OPEN & SAFE. In the meantime our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!” I think he needs a nap. But at least Melania got us back on track by reminding us why this all most likely happening in the first place…EPSTEIN. What’s next guys?
