Trump postpones threatened war crime, er..bombing of #Iran civilian infrastructure because of peace talks ...er, that the Iranians say didn't happen

Therefore he delays further action for five days... er, exactly as long as the markets are open.

FFS, why does the gullible media take anything the #AmericanClownEmperor says at face value?

U.S. and Iran Send Conflicting Signals on Peace Prospects

President Trump said talks were underway. A top Iranian official denied that, while other Iranians said messages were being traded through intermediaries.

@Professor_Stevens

Yeah, but it makes Trump look "in control" and keeps the public from talking about the perfectly sensible ICE restrictions the Dems demand to restart funding

...and the MSM plays along with it, every day.

"DOGE cuts cause $52m in political donations to go unreported"

FFS, calling it a "glitch" is deliberate sanewashing when DOGE's goal was to break working systems and departments - including this IRS one

"Trump Has No Plan, Leaving Chaos In His Wake"

FFS #NYTimes , "follow his gut"? Your own subheading says there are inconsistencies, contradictions and little process. He is leading a huge government and leadership requires plans, process and communication - and he does not. THAT is the story

Trump Follows His Gut. His National Security Advisers Try to Keep Up.

Decisions come fast, even if contradictions and inconsistencies abound. But without much of a process, there is little preparation for how things can go wrong.

@grrlscientist

It's not a plan. It's not real.

The "hospital boat to Greenland" is just more "CUSTS"

Crazy
Unsubstantiated
Sh*t
Trump
Said

That's how it should be treated. As another crazy statement - showing his disconnect from reality - and then ignored until there is some substantiating evidence.

We need to stop letting Trump control the media cycles by simply saying nonsense.

Yep. An effective news media would remind us of Trump's past claims and actions whenever writing a "Trump says..." story.

All papers should be leading with "Jesse Jackson, American icon, dies at 84"

Shockingly, #NYTimes leads with "Vague Hints of ‘Progress’ After U.S.-Iran Nuclear Talks"
- That's not just one (vague)
- or two (hints)
- but three (air quotes around progress) qualifiers
That's how you just know this the most important story. /s

Shame on the Times for giving Trump the headline he craves based on mere "hints"

#NYTimes covering this trend about a decade too late.

Will they now counter the trend by no longer framing every major story around Trump - or giving him free media for every "Trump says" story? I doubt it.
