Trump blinked. Fortunately. The annihilation he was claiming was inconceivable. Even to the extent of nuclear destruction.
Iranians not stupid. They had thousands of citizens on the bridges. Children included. Waving huge Iranian flags over them. I doubt even Trump would have bombed the bridges with them upon it.
Trump’s bravado and off the wall threats turned most of the world against him. Except Israel, of course. Netanyahu conned Trump into the war and is happy the U.S. is in it. Netanyahu’s war desires exceed even Trump’s.
China and Russia had to be thrilled that Trump has worked his way into a corner with the 8 p.m./midnight end of the world existence for Iran.
I said in yesterday’s blog I expected Trump would back off. He always does. He did. Fortunately! The ceasefire a strategic victory for Iran. Trump makes it sound as if the U.S. won. No way. Before the war, Iran had no formal claim to the Strait of Hormuz. The ceasefire agreement gives Iran a sense formal control over the Strait to Iran.
I would be surprised if the ceasefire holds. Crazies in a sense on both sides.
Trump’s threat to kill off 90 million people and 6,000 years of existence made no sense.
Iran still has to get even. The conflict will continue one way or another till it does so. Iran will ultimately get the revenge it seeks. Trump wanted the war for two reasons. One to accommodate Netanyahu who bullshitted him. The other to remove U.S. attention from the Epstein files. No matter what Trump does, the files will be properly revealed in due course and I suspect to Trump’s detriment.
Trump is an evil psychopath.
Christina Canterucci: “Trump is not only the most dangerous American President of the nuclear era. He is something terrifyingly new.”
The Iran War not the only dangerous thing Trump has gotten us into or is getting us into. Voting within the U.S. another. One where he is trying to bring control of voting under the veil of Washington. The Constitution says voting within States’ rights.
Trump wants to control voting. He continues to work on various phases to hopefully achieve that which he seeks.
The Department of Homeland Security is overpaying for warehouses. Intending to use them as jails to accommodate ICE and other special federal agent prison needs. As Rachel Maddow said: “Smells like corruption.”
Golf icon Butch Harmon says Trump will never be a member of Augusta National Golf Club. It has to do with Trump’s personality. Larger than life does not fly at Augusta. Trump does not align with the dignity and discretion expected. Harmon said: “He’s full of himself. His personality doesn’t fit the profile of an Augusta member.”
Trump’s personality continues to slide downward. Now at minus 17 points. The lowest of any President.
Key West temperature today will hit a high of 82 degrees.
I had a wonderful time yesterday at The Grand’s Happy Hour. My friends Theos and Dina arrived from Greece. They joined me. Nothing like Greek friends! Special people. I know from my many times in Greece and visiting friends like Theos and Dina.
I will see more of them during their week long visit here.
Today a big time visit with Dr. Norris. My concierge. He will straighten out one or two things for me.
I am feeling better. Not where I should be yet though.
Enjoy your day!
