The US has gained nothing from Trump’s war with Iran. But Iran has.

Trump wants credit for “largely negotiating” a deal to reopen the Strait & calm global markets.

But Iran says: not so fast.

There’s still no deal on Iran’s weapons program or enriched uranium. And Iran still controls the Strait.

The usual MAGA influencers are taking a victory lap but getting a ton of crap thrown back at them.

and wants out...he'll capitulate to Iran, pay them billions of dollars to open the Strait of Hormuz, declare a win, and move on to possibly attacking Cuba or Greenland.. and then he and Toady Blanche will brainstorm on how to build an ten foot arch (an arch no one wants) with tax payer dollars...

he's bombed and invaded Venezuela, killed Venezuelan fisherman, kidnapped the Venezuelan president and his wife..and that's not all!!.. he's attacked Iran, killed Iranian school girls, threatened to obliterate Iran as a country, doubled the price of gas per gallon, sacrificed the lives of our military sons and daughters, said he doesn't give a shit about struggling Americans, and is at present crawling out of an obscene war he started...and still no Nobel Peace Prize...shocking!!!
