    The article also speculates that Trump’s surrender in Iran could be very bad for Israel, thanks to Iran’s control of the Straight of Hormuz:

    In a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Trump reportedly explained that the United States was negotiating a “letter of intent” with Iran that would “formally end the war and launch a 30-day period of negotiations” on Iran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The purpose and effect of such an agreement should be clear: The United States is walking away from the crisis.

    According to one U.S. official, Netanyahu’s “hair was on fire” after the call with Trump—for good reason. The Iran war may end up as the single most devastating blow to Israel’s security in its brief history. On the present trajectory, Iran will emerge from the conflict many times stronger and more influential than it was before the war. It will exercise leverage with dozens of the richest nations in the world, all of which will have an acute interest in keeping Iran happy. They will be unlikely to take Israel’s side in any conflict that it has with Tehran or with its proxies in Lebanon and Gaza, because Iran will have the means to punish them if they do. Israel will emerge more isolated than it has been at any time in its history—and not least from its only reliable protector, the United States. When Trump turns his back on Israel, as he must do to implement this policy, MAGA will gladly follow. The bipartisan anti-Israel consensus in the United States will grow and harden.

    Americans need to murder Trump. That’s right, I said it. He deserves to fucking die, and then wipe out the rest of his rancid bloodline.

    Americans are getting fucked over by a rapist. America; fucking stand up already.

    Trump’s Endgame is always a test of just how stupid America can be … and that is the key to his success - the near bottomless pit of American idiocy

    He will have to removed by force to get him out of the White House in 28.

    Why he wants that "ballroom " so bad.

      Assuming the ballroom gets completed before inauguration '29, I’m fine with Trump staying in it for the rest of his life, as long as all entrances and exits are sealed, and no food or water enters.

      Bunkers only protect against foreign bombs. Local residents have construction equipment and concrete saws.

    Magnitude of his defeat? These articles are so goddamn delusional.

    Fuck this downvoting bullshit because I dont go along with the hivemind. You fucking people are straight mainlining copium in the holy vein at this point. All these bullshit leftist feelgood articles make me sick. “Trump is so done!” “Trump will be defeated!” Oh get fucked! The ENTIRE time people share these articles to make themselves feel like something is being done, this orange cunt and his tit-sucking lackeys are irreparably fucking up this country and our relationships with every other country. You people should be fucking thankful that they are so incompetent. But not anymore! The real, intelligent evil people are learning that most Americans genuinely dont give a fuck what you do, so long as you give them someone to hate and feel above. These COMPETENT evil pricks will be running things. I 100% guarantee it, because most of us Americans fucking LOVE licking the boots on our necks apparently.

    So yeah, enjoy your little article about the 7,000th defeat and downfall Trump is supposed to suffer. Fucking sickening.

      the pentagon has reported this conflict costing about 29 billion dollars since it started about 3 months ago. this number will go up once it ends due to long term care for veterans, not to mention the inflation it has brought americans. this erased any raises they may have gotten this year.

      and all we got in return was check notes a sense of pride and accomplishment!! what a delusion article for sure lmao

          wearing us down is how we let these scumbags win, and you’re feeling those effects.

          stay informed, but also ground yourself with things in your immediate control if you’re feeling burnt out. you got this 💪

    Even if America surrenders and walks away from the Iran conflict with its tail between its legs, Donny and his cult will still claim total victory, and there is a possibility that his approval may actually get a bump from this. Just in time to steal/cancel the midterms and start anew war with Cuba, oh and don’t think he’s forgotten about Greenland…
