Trump is trying to look as unhinged as possible for the best chance at a deal

That along with strikes on Kharg island are ratcheting up the pressure.

If you read about Japanese WWII history the major reason they surrendered is because they didn’t think they would survive as a nation unless they surrendered. They legitimately thought the Japanese people themselves wouldn’t survive.

To me it looks like that’s the angle that Trump is going for here before the deadline tonight.

This is the correct strategy instead of the bullshite we’ve seen for 50 years that has NOT worked.

I love how y’all always assume Trump is 3 steps ahead of everyone else in the world. Iran isn’t going to surrender, and anyone with a brain knows it. He’s posting unhinged shite because he’s an unhinged lunatic.

Man the level of delusion some people go through to justify the obvious mental decline of a 79 year old man is stunning. But go on keep telling yourself you are better than the democrats when Biden was in the chair.

Getting a deal before the deadline or taking the necessary steps to destroy the regime is a heck of a lot better than what the other Presidents have tried in the past.

I agree 100% with his strategy.

We have a pretty good history to show that he isn't the stable genius you think he is

He's a moron

Cope harder.

This isht is as embarrassing as it is dangerous. Trump will either TACO (signaling weakness) or follow through (making him a genocidal maniac). He's put himself into a stupid situation, completely unforced.

There's a reason no one has tried this stupid "strategy" for a reason.

If true, then he should send Gretchen Whitmer over to negotiate.

I actually think that in his feeble mind he thinks he is exerting pressure, because he thinks they think he's some crazy guy. But they know he does not have the stones or really the insanity to do what he is talking about.

which is why it's stupid for him to say this. It's not credible. It seems like he will not go through with what he's saying and probably lie and say he achieved something.

OR - and this is a real possibility - he already has the deal he wants and is doing this to make like he actually did something strong to get the deal. When in reality it's irrelevant.

either way it makes our whole country seem like a.complete nightmare

TDS brother, get help. Trump aint fking around. Great negotiators don't make false promises. Its like threating your kid with a spanking and not following through. Your kid will learn you are all talk and no action and will never respect you. Trump does what he says, unlike the weak crime syndicate know as the Democratic Paarty.

He’s not getting any deals done with Iran. They’d rather be nuked off the face of the earth than capitulate to any of Trump’s demands. He can’t relate to or understand people with actual principles and conviction.

This board is going to have a TON of egg on its face if a deal is reached today or if he follows through.

The TDS crowd thinks a deal is impossible and also thinks Trump will chicken out.

There won’t be a deal because Israel isn’t interested in anything short of complete Iranian annihilation. Unfortunately, Trump is a useful idiot.

TDS brother,


That crutch is starting to get played out. His base is turning on him but go on continue sinking on that life raft. Dude is losing it on a public stage. Calling that out isn't TDS its just the truth that anyone can see.

You know what would REALLY make him look unhinged?

Just nuke 'em. Show them what one of those "nucular" bombs they wanted to build can actually do.

Problem solved with one push of a button. We would never again have to worry about Iran getting their own bomb, or doing anything else.

Then we will all just faithfully regurgitate the talking points of how necessary it was.

The numbers, even from CNN, show his base is not turning on him.
-influencers sell clicks, don’t use them at all
-rino’s have been looking to criticize him anytime possible. Complaining about high gas prices when even NOW we haven’t reached the average price of when he took office
-the left/media are always busy moving goals posts

So, really , same story next day
