For three months, President Trump has been deeply engaged in the Iran conflict, planning the 38 days of attack, struggling to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and proclaiming “a whole civilization will die tonight,” then backing away to declare a cease-fire and a naval blockage of Iranian ports.
But on Monday, after days of haggling with Iranian officials through intermediaries on a preliminary agreement, Mr. Trump declared it was starting “to get very boring.”
“I don’t care if they’re over, honestly,’’ he told Eamon Javers of CNBC when asked about reports that the Iranians, angry at continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon and low-level conflict with the United States in the Persian Gulf, were threatening to stop negotiating. “I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over.”

Well, these people at the NY Times probably sang endless praises about The One and his negotiations with Iran.
So Trump is bored with endless negotiations?
Good. That makes 342.7 million people who are also bored.
You know what would NOT be boring? Maybe some of that UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER Trump promised us back in February.
Trump tells CNBC: ‘I don’t care’ if Iran negotiations are over

…….not to mention the “4 to 6 weeks, maybe less” comment.
I don’t care either. Just bomb them for as long as it takes. Talking is done by Mr. Nice Guys, Trump is tough and smart.
This ploy might just work.
i think he is gettng frustrated - a la Ukraine/Putin negotiations. when will he realize the deal isn’t worth having?
Laughable, these pretenders are.
Leftist journalism - get your degree from a cereal box.
The World is taking Trump less and less seriously and so are voters.
Did you forget the BARF alert?
Why so petty?
Trump’s biggest problem is his ego... not some reality show. Sadly he has moved to that level as if you go to war you do it to win, not negotiate some sort of deal that nobody really knows for sure what is really going on as I personally think the WH has been less than truthful on many fronts.
He has laid out his criteria. Until IRan delivers he has other work to do. Good on him.
This is how you negotiate with crazed savages. No compromise.
I thought closing the Strait of Hormuze would be a big, big thing.
Guess I was wrong
Art of the deal.
Be prepared to walk away from a proposed deal.
Thanks to the New York times “by line” I can save a lot of time by not reading the article.
my concern: the Gaza deal was no bonanza, Hamas is not disarmed...so not sure DJT is realistic enough about the twisted players in the ME. he won’t always be around to knock them about if they violate. Hizbollah and Iran have violated current ceasefire endlessly - crickets.
