This would be a lot funnier if he wasn't the president of the US. It's still funny, though. He's so stupid he doesn't realise how stupid he is, or sounds to non-cult members.

"Let me start at the beginning of today’s Trump social media spiral, which kicked off around 3 in the morning. Trump was up in the dead of night reposting a random MAGA account asking 'What will happen next?' with a question mark. Ok?

Then came the follow-up: a repost of another random account calling for Senator Mark Kelly to be arrested."

‘He talks too much’: how Trump’s erratic commentary is the real block to an Iran deal

US president’s contradictory statements only make Tehran more wary of anything but the most watertight deal

"Then Trump took to the media to crow that Iranian leaders had 'agreed to everything,' including the removal of its enriched uranium, and that 'Iran has agreed never to close the Strait of Hormuz again.' He promised that Iran had agreed to end its nuclear program forever and that talks 'should go very quickly.'”

"Alayna Treene and Kevin Liptak of CNN reported last night that by the end of last week, negotiators for the U.S. and Iran appeared to be on the verge of hammering out an end to hostilities before the two-week ceasefire ends on Wednesday. Then Trump took to the media to crow that Iranian leaders had 'agreed to everything,'” (continued in /3)
