Does anyone think Barack Obama could have written a better Art of the Deal book?
With word of a kind of armistice deal between Iran and the United States that will be finalized (hopefully, depending on the details) with a more permanent deal in about two months, Donald Trump, the man who bankrupted a casino and who signed on to the Afghanistan withdrawal deal that brought the Taliban back to power, is using language similar to Obama’s Iran nuclear deal and apparently, depending on which side can be believed, willing to release Iranian assests between $25 and $300 billion (Obama only released $1.7 billion) to get them to sign on the dotted line and reopen the Strait of Hormuz which was open to free passage before the Stable Genius and his Israellis Counterpart, Benjamin Netanayhu started this ill conceived and poorly planned war in February.
Who could have told them how this would end?
Anyone with a knowlegde of history, and international relations while possessing common sense.
Through their actions, ego mania, and stupidity, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have made the world less safe and secure, possibly, as pointed out by Katy Kay and others on MSNOW earlier today, ushering in a new dawn of nuclear proliferation.
The United States, Israel, and the rest of the world are worse off than before the war began.
People here in the United States and around the world are suffering worse financially because of it, paying higher prices at the gas pump and grocery stores. At the same time, Trump escapes reality and fleeces the American taxpayer with his disgraceful UFC event at the White House, where a Nethanderal fighter, Josh Hokit called Michelle Obama “A man” in front of a beaming Joe Rogan, proving trash is trash, no matter what race or income level they are at.
Iran is stronger and is looking at a financial windfall when it starts, despite what Trump claims, demanding tolling and insurance payments from ships traversing the Strait of Hormuz.
Of course, Trump told the New York Times that he will make the United States the “Guardian of the Middle East” for 20 percent of the nation’s revenues in that region combined if Iran starts up its nuclear program again.
The words of the imperialist and Mafia extortionist.
He also praised Russia and China’s leaders for helping achieve this deal and berated Netanyahu’s military strikes on Lebanon as obstacles to it.
Guess Bibi is finding out what Trump’s other friends have found through the years.
He will screw you if it helps him.
That said, hopefully the Israellis will vote out Netanyahu this fall and retire him to the nice jail cell he richly deserves.
And hopefully, American voters will elect checks to Trump power in the November Midterms and put in public servants that will actually put America First while also being a Good Global Neighbor.
Hopefully.
