There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    In other words: Trump needs to drag this war out as long as possible, because he needs to distract from the Epstein files and his crimes longer than he hoped.

    He’s gonna drop a nuke to distract from the Epstein files. He wants nothing more than to be remembered and he doesn’t give a fuck how.

    Just like Putin he wants to expand. Doesn’t matter who or how. Venezuela, Canada, Cuba, Greenland, Iran. He just wants to be remembered as the person who expanded the US. And the scary thing is, he has resources to do it, but luckily not the competence.

    More annoying is the lack of pushback.

    Maybe he’ll appoint Barron Trump as ruler of Iran. I’m mostly kidding but also won’t be too surprised if I’m right

    Americans would rather die than commit to this and not get any of our black liquid crack fix out of it.

    You know what unconditional surrender will mean.

      Trump always chickens out? That’s what it means, right? After bankrupting our military and sending countless US soldiers to their deaths in a mire of a war that will make Vietnam look like a cakewalk, he will just walk away with no gains pretending like he won?

        I suspect two possibilities:

        • Trump chickens out by April and says he got everything he wanted out of Iran anyways.
        • Trump feels spiteful and decides to do The Big One on Iran because they really pissed him off.

        I feel Trump is going to declare victory over nothing, but there’s always that intrusive thought that Trump will do something more unprecedented.

          Surely…SURELY…someone in that administration was smart enough to snip the wire in big red button knowing that Trump is a lunatic.

            You cowardly bastard! You’re not the voice of the people, I am the voice of the people! The people speak through me, not you! It came to me while I slept, Sonny… my destiny. In the middle of the night, it came to me - I must get up NOW, RIGHT NOW, and fulfill my destiny! Now you put your goddamn hand on that scanning screen, or I’ll hack it off and put it on for you! DO IT!

            The missiles are flying. Hallelujah.

        You know, I really hope so. But this year he really needs the line to go up because that’s the core value his cult worships and line don’t go up from war unless he secures some oil.

    Maybe if you want the supreme leader to surrender you shouldn’t have killed him. Very hard to get a signature from a crater.

    We tried to tell everyone that Trump is a terrible business man, he can’t even understand the order of numbers.

    America FIRST?

    I guess MAGA and Trump were meant for each other, neither seem to understand that first would imply that it comes before others.
