1. He's bought off so easily.

Sorry Persians, you can't depend on a clown with no principles to actually help you.

[drray23]

2. Operation TACO in full force

If this stops the war great. It's obvious Trump.has no clues as to what he is doing and is trying to taco and claim victory.

[blue-wave]

3. Why am I not convinced?

Does this have anything to do with the price of oil?

[Marie Marie]

4. I call BS. But even if the great mystery is true - always the currency is money received - not

lives saved or made easier. God I wish he would just bless the ground 6 feet under with his magnificence.

5. What a whore.

I can hardly wait for his exit.

7. He's fucking nuts.

[GB_RN]

8. I Call...

Bullshit. No way in hell I’ll believe it unless confirmed by the Iranians. In fact, I’ll file it in the same (garbage) bin as the “We’ve been talking to the Iranians…” bullshit he spewed the other day.

Why anyone in the White House lets Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent in front of a camera or allow him phone/text* privileges is beyond me.

*As I understand it, he is unable to use a computer. I guess hitting the on switch is too complicated. And no, this isn’t a “Many people say…” bit. 😂

9. What? They sent him a gold-plated generator?

???

10. Trump was discussing this earlier in the day with Ronald Reagan.

[Vinca]

11. It was probably the early stock bet coming in when he made his TACO announcement yesterday.

[Farmer-Rick]

24. Yup

It gave pedo Trump a chance to rig the stock markets. It was an unintentional gift. When pedo Trump says us, he means himself.

12. The Al-Fred Noble Memorial Prize for Energy Economics?

"For services to the Iranian oil industry, after lifting sanctions on it while bombing them".

They found some old lead piping, spray-painted it gold, and told him it was solid 24 carat stuff.

14. But we're going to invade any way

[jgmiller]

15. This is his standard tactic from his real estate grifter days

If people weren't negotiating with him he'd claim they did something nice and do it publicly. Usually the company he claimed did it wouldn't want to have the negative press of contradicting him so they would either do what he said or they would give him concessions. He's always thought that countries use the same logic as businesses and in some cases it works but most of the time it doesn't.

25. "The day so far" Guardian ( 10 hours ago)

The day so far
Donald Trump claimed negotiations to end the Iran war are happening “right now” and that Tehran had agreed to “never” have a nuclear weapon. “We can say this is regime change,” he told reporters in the Oval Office, adding: “We’ve won this war.” He also said members of his administration are negotiating with “the right people” in Iran and claimed that Tehran gave him a “gift” which was “oil and gas related” and related to the strait of Hormuz, without giving any further detail.

A reminder that Trump’s claims come a day after Iranian officials denied that any contact with the US had taken place, and called such claims of talks “fake news” designed to “manipulate” oil markets.

Indeed, Iran’s military today vowed to fight on until it had achieved “complete victory”. Major general Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi mocked the United States as a “hollow” nation that has been “brought down in front of the world”, with Trump left “trying to escape from the war” it started.

Further undermining Trump’s repeated claims that there are talks happening and that they are pointing towards a possible peace, the US is sending more than 1,000 extra troops to the Middle East, multiple outlets reported. Trump approved the deployment last night, and the extra troops, from 82nd Airborne Division, have not yet left the US, but could be sent overseas in the coming days. The elite infantry division specialises in forcible entry parachute assaults.

Meanwhile, Lebanon faces an “existential crisis” after Israel announced plans to seize and occupy swathes of the country’s south to create ​a so-called “security zone”, officials warned. Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, had earlier said he had instructed the IDF to establish control over a so-called “buffer” south of the Litani River, about 20 miles from the current Israel-Lebanon border – and the remaining bridges it hadn’t yet destroyed. Many Lebanese fear that the Israeli occupation of a large part of southern Lebanon could become long-term. Indeed, Katz said the hundreds of thousands of south Lebanon residents who were displaced by the war this month “will not return south of the Litani River until security is guaranteed for the residents of the north” of Israel. On the hundreds of thousands of Lebanese people who have had to flee the south, one Lebanese politician said:

For the first time, there is no more life. There’s no more human presence. So, it’s much more dangerous than occupation. It’s really the destruction of an entire area.
