This is why Trump succeeds where everyone else fails

The US and Iran have apparently agreed to a two-week ceasefire.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that, based on conversations with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, he will delay the "bombing and attack of Iran" for two weeks.

Trump said the decision came after the leaders requested the U.S. "hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran," which the president previously threatened would start at 8 p.m. eastern time if a deal was not reached. The president said the postponement is subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to "the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz."

"This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!" Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East."

He added the administration received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and officials "believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate."

This from Iran:

This follows Trump's threat to wipe out an "entire civilization."

I have no doubt that he would have reluctantly followed up on this by wiping out power plants and bridges:

"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "There will be nothing like it!!!

He added: "Open the F**kin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."

Trump had given Tehran a 10-day window to open the Strait as part of negotiations.

Trump's threat had democrats wetting their pants and hyperventilating about the 25th Amendment.

Dan Goldman proved once again that he is an idiot.

Ro Khanna was ready to surrender to Iran.

During an interview on CNN on Monday, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said that there should be a ceasefire in Iran, and “We need to make sure that we give Iran an ironclad guarantee that Israel or we will not attack again and involve China and Russia in that” and give Iran a guarantee “that they’re going to be safe.” And also look at sanctions and have negotiations over ensuring Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon.

Khanna said, “We need to end the war, and we can do it with three things. We need an immediate ceasefire, stop the bombing. We need to make sure that we give Iran an ironclad guarantee that Israel or we will not attack again and involve China and Russia in that. And then we need to look at some of the sanctions and have a diplomatic solution.”

Host Anderson Cooper then asked, “Where does the Strait of Hormuz fall into that — on that item list?”

Khanna answered, “Well, that’s the only way, in my view, that we get the Strait of Hormuz open. If we don’t give Iran a guarantee that they’re not — that they’re going to be safe. They’re going to think, well, Israel is saying they want to mow the lawn.”

Cooper then asked, “Is it acceptable to you if Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz?”

Lawrence O'Donnell was his usual ahole self

You’re an extremely crude person. Many of us discount people out of hand, if they have to use your sort of vocabulary.

The one time I’m aware of the President using the ‘F’ word publicly, he wasn’t suggesting what is suggested in post 5.

Do you think it’s an acceptable way to post here?

There are two categories of people who oppose Trump.

1. criminals and traitors

2. those who are believe the criminals and traitors

Of note, the second category don’t know why they oppose Trump. It’s a fairly significant mental deficit.

They were told these were dead on arrival. Not to be considered.

Screw you. I'll bet you hate liberty and put other nations before the United States.

Sycophants for foreign powers should just move there and let us alone.
