He was handed the easiest off-ramp possible and still chose threats over basic humanity. When cruelty is the instinctive answer, that should alarm everyone watching. Power without restraint is dangerous.
"It'll hurt them. It'll hurt them militarily" -- Joe Kernen gives Trump a chance to say he doesn't actually want to commit war crimes in Iran, but Trump doesn't really take it
Yesterday: threats and deadlines. Today: no rush and total confidence. That’s not strategy—it’s chaos dressed up as leadership. When policy changes by the hour, nobody takes the message seriously anymore.
Trump yesterday: Iran better sign a deal by Tuesday or I’m blowing up power plants and bridges!
Trump today: I’m in no rush to make a deal. Time is on my side.
Maybe it’s time to stop treating every Trump phone call like verified news. No facts, no transcript, no accountability—just headlines that age badly within days. Journalism should inform, not amplify unverified claims.
Axios @axios.com ⏱️ NEW: Trump tells Axios he expects Iran deal "in a day or two" Trump tells Axios he expects Iran deal "in a day or two" Trump is very feeling bullish.

Friday: "trump says Iran deal in a day or two"
Two days later: Iran says no to further talks
Maybe just maybe it's time for reporters to stop blasting their latest phone chat with trump across the media ecosystem without facts, context AND without a transcript of the call.
Trump is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching...
#Iran #Trump #EpsteinFiles #POTUS #IranWar
The world is watching a president put ego above peace and chaos above leadership. Accountability isn’t optional. When power is abused, impeachment is the minimum response. #Trump #Iran #POTUS
That says everything. When people trust a rival nation’s statement over their own president, the real crisis is credibility. Trump has lied so often that even his enemies sound more believable now.
How bad is it that Trump says the negotiations are resuming Monday and Iran says they’re not and I believe Iran over Trump!! How bad is that!
If ending the same war 12 times counts, then losing credibility 12 times should count too. You can’t keep declaring “mission accomplished” while the chaos continues. People see through the performance.
So if Trump says the Iran War is over 12 different times does that count as Trump ending 12 wars?
If we had continued on with Obamas investments in solar ,wind, clean energy and electric cars the straight of Hormuz could have gone and fucked itself by now.
Iran: We will blockade the straits of Hormuz if you attack us.
Donald: No, WE will blockade the straits of Hormuz unless you surrender to us.
Iran: Ok. That might save us some trouble tbh.
🚢 Strait of Hormuz transit tracker
Blocking the Strait of Hormuz to unblock the Strait of Hormuz is peak Trump foreign policy.
By facilitating the transit of Iraqi crude and Turkish-owned vessels, Tehran is proving it can maintain maritime security and selectively manage the waterway to favor regional stability.
A third Turkish-owned tanker, Ocean Thunder, carrying Iraqi crude to Malaysia safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz overnight.
The focus on regional solutions for the Strait of Hormuz reflects a strong stance on national sovereignty. It suggests that local stability is best maintained by those directly responsible for its security, rather than through external maritime precedents.
In the discussions about unblocking the Strait of Hormuz, an interesting tidbit has emerged:
Zelenskyy said Ukraine has not been asked to help unblock Hormuz despite Ukrainian successes protecting the Black Sea Food Security Corridor against Russian attacks.
Offer's there 🤷♀️
By dictating the terms of the Strait and securing the support of global powers like Russia and China, Iran has successfully shattered the illusion of American self-sufficiency and forced the world to acknowledge the new multipolar reality.
DONALD TRUMP LAST WEEK: "We don't need the Strait of Hormuz!"
DONALD TRUMP THIS WEEK: "OMG! OMG! Open the Strait of Hormuz or we will commit war crimes on you!!!!!!!!"
Exactly—people keep pointing abroad, but the real corruption and unanswered questions are much closer to home.
Our enemies are not in Iran. They are in the Epstein files.
Thought you should know.
So it’s fine to go to war with Iran, but suddenly buying its oil isn’t? That just exposes the double standards driving this whole situation.
“I think buying oil from Iran when we are at war with Iran is a bad thing.”
When even Trump’s own counterterrorism director admits Iran wasn’t an imminent threat, it shows this war was unjustified and politically driven.
Trump’s own counterterrorism chief has resigned over the Iran war. Joseph Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, wrote in a letter addressed directly to Donald Trump that Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States
Calling Iran ‘just a military operation’ while the war still rages shows how out of touch and reckless U.S. policy has become.
Trump: "Iran is just a military operation to me. Iran is something that was essentially largely over in two or three days."
