"The American people spent the whole day wondering if their mad king would destroy the world, only to find out he was terrorizing them in order to protect his ego after starting a disastrous war."

Letters from an American

"This is a crazy person, who did a crazy thing, and is likely to do many more crazy things soon. ...

For years, conservatives told themselves that Trump’s constant escalations were crafty gamesmanship, that he was keeping all options on the table to avoid tipping his hand to the enemy. This barely-averted disaster cuts the knees out from under their creative fiction. Trump'’s not performing as a madman.

He’s just barking mad."

The 25th Amendment Isn't Coming to Save Us

Trump's deranged behavior has some Democrats selling a fantasy to voters

The Message Box

"Not since the Bay of Pigs has the United States seen a president look as epically stupid and trapped and outplayed and overmatched as Trump looks to be now. Even the most rabid of the right-wing public asswipes are now saying Trump is nuts and hinting that he might need to be straitjacketed and deposed: Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Joe Rogan, Candace Owens … even noted lunatic Alex Jones.

Two Weeks. One Fartnight.

We’re back in “two-week” territory!

The Gene Pool

"To those of us in the intelligence community, it's pretty clear. This may have been a singularly epic defeat in the history of the United States. ...

Trump started a war, became enamored with the high-tech glitz and explosions, and in the end, surrendered to the reality that he was going to destroy the global economy. He gave Iran a much stronger hand than it had before the war began."

Operation Epic Failure: How We Lost the First US-Iran War

Trump's desperation for a cease fire gave Iran full control of the Persian Gulf and a toll booth

"Last night, 90 minutes before Trump said he’d cause the death of a “whole civilization” if Iran didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz, an Iranian official said the shipping channel would be reopened for two weeks if the United States stopped bombing Iran. The U.S. has now stopped bombing Iran.

So we’re back to the status quo before Trump began his war."

Trump's Defeat in Iran

It's consistent with how other countries, organizations, and people have defeated him

Robert Reich

"Donald Trump surrendered to Iran last night, in exchange for nothing. It was a war he started for no reason, and he got nothing. ...

Fox & Friends counted the ways this morning, or at least one of their hosts did:

Co-host Lawrence Jones walked through the initial demands one by one, in plain language. 'We have not reached any of those objectives,' he said."

Two Weeks Trump Caves On Murdering Entire World. Whew, What A Relief All Over Again!

Plop plop. Fizz fizz.

Wonkette

"The list of objectives? Dismantling nuclear facilities ('that has not happened'), ending uranium enrichment ('they are still enriching'), transferring uranium stockpiles out of Iran ('that hasn’t happened'), accepting international inspections ('they are still not willing to do it'), and suspending the ballistic missile program ('they’re still firing them off')."

“'We received a 10-point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate,' the president announced on Truth Social – apparently referring to the 10-point plan that Iran had presented to the US before he threatened to murder its entire population."

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Did Iran Just Win This War?

Instead of trying to wipe out Iran’s ‘civilization,’ Trump will negotiate an end to the war using Iran’s 10-point framework in a pretty huge humiliation for both the US and its ally Israel.

Zeteo

"Using this 10-point plan as a framework for a deal, rather than the previous American 15-point plan, is obviously a major win for Iran – which is, indeed, declaring victory. Experts and commentators see it that way, too."

@wdlindsy Peace at the end. Now is the time to worry. In his previous reign, after losing the trade war with China, China and the world suffered the attack of Covid. I'm not saying it's a direct consequence, although I suspect it is. Megalomaniacs suffer dangerous mega-tantrums.
