Why Any Plausible Iran Deal Is a Humiliation for Trump

Bessent: “This administration put the hardest sanctions on Russia of any country.” In fact, endless sanction waivers for Russia rendered these “hardest sanctions” useless. And badly planned war in Iran allowed Russia to make money and use those funds to keep killing Ukrainians.

Had I not terminated the Iran Deal and then started a new war against Iran with my manager in Tel Aviv, then Iran by now would have a nuclear weapon and a military base on Mars and hypnosis machines and they would have nuked Israel and ruled the world through mind control.

This will forever be the Gold Medal of this twisted competition to see how severely American politicians can proclaim their supreme devotion to Israel:

Guardian headline, August 19, 2025: "Israeli government official charged with soliciting 15-year-old girl in Las Vegas" Result: released by court, no travel restrictions or GPS, predictably ran back to Israel for refuge. It's good to be an Israeli:

BREAKING: Three-judge district court reaffirms earlier rulings, even in light of Callais, that Alabama’s 2023 congressional map cannot be used because it is “tainted by intentional race-based discrimination” and that the court-ordered map is, again, to be used in the 2026 elections.

A panel of 3 federal judges today have struck down the maga GOP attempt to enforce their racist AF congressional maps. The order temporarily requires Alabama to continue using the same court ordered districts under which congressional representatives were elected in 2024. apnews.com/article/redi...

The amazing thing about Israel trying to derail the deal by insisting on the right to bomb Lebanon: Trump announced on April 18 that as part of a deal, he ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon, claiming it's "PROHIBITED." Israel laughed in his face and bombed the next day.

This is inaccurate because it's not a pivot. I've witnessed for months now ICE agents physically drag immigrants out of 26 Federal Plaza as they were following the legal requirements to work here, as immigration judges were confirming that they were following the rules.

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

This is what Trump has accomplished with his ridiculous and destructive war. Iran will be in a better position than when the US started bombing. investinglive.com/news/iran-an...

Considering that this DNC "autopsy" didn't even address the issue of Gaza and how it impacted the 2024 race, let alone offer any solutions going forward, I can see why this thing was never released. www.cnn.com/2026/05/21/p...

Incredible. The newly-published DNC autopsy of 2024 is 192 pages. *Zero* mentions of the words "Israel," "Palestine," or "Gaza." (DNC Chair Ken Martin concedes the autopsy does not meet his standards, nor would it meet yours).

“Nearly three-quarters of Democratic supporters now oppose military aid to Israel, up from 45% just 3 years ago. And nearly half of Democratic backers said the party was too supportive of Israel.” This is driven by an understanding that Israel is the premier military power of the region.

(If I were an Israeli with standard Israeli views, I would also be quite pleased with everything Trump did for my country. He promised during the 2024 campaign, when standing before his Queen Miriam Adelson, to "Make Israel Great Again." That was a vow he clearly meant):

Not a fan of Burnham anyway, but seriously, what is the point of changing leader if they are going to keep the same inhumane and hostile policies Starmer supports which have pushed so many voters away from Labour.
