Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

A deal to end the Iran war seemed close. Then Trump started posting on social media | CNN Politics As the weekend approached, the US and Iran appeared to be closing in on a deal to end the seven-week war.

This CNN story is correct, but it's only half the story. The full story is that the war with Iran should never have started AND that Trump is keeping it going.

🎻Gramps is pissed that he couldn't wrap up the war in *his declared time frame*, so he lies & blames Ds for setting it to 6 weeks.

(I wonder how many more Trump Truth montages CNN will produce once Bari Weiss [presumably] brings her editorial golden touch to the network?)

If your commander-in-chief is being excluded from military operations (coz he’s a lunatic) and blocked from accessing the nuclear codes (coz he’s a lunatic), you’re overdue for a new commander-in-chief.

Back to the genocide threats.

KARL: Is Trump really prepared to go back to full-on war? Is he prepared to destroy every power plant & bridge?

WALTZ: Well, all options are on the table, absolutely. That's not a war crime

K: He's saying every bridge in the country. That's not a war crime?

W: That would be an escalatory ladder

Here it is like clockwork...war crimes threats on a Sunday.

Donald J. Trump ++ @realDonaldTrump Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn't nice, was it? My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan - They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it. They're helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be "the tough guy!" We're offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They'll come down fast, they'll come down easy and, if they don't take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT'S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END! President DONALD J. TRUMP 177 ReTruths 649 Likes Apr 19, 2026 at 7:10 AM

Unstable Grandpa Chaos was on a posting binge; he's back to his keen negotiating skill of threatening war crimes.

Promises of blowing up bridges & power plants means Trump's frustrated that Iran is not bending to his will — it continues to contradict his claims of victory & status of the Strait.

Chaos. Donald has manufactured chaos. And we're all suffering through it while his corruption thrives.

Did you get the WH edict, folks?

Calling to destroy Iranian civilian infrastructure an "escalatory ladder" is now the order of the day since "war crime" is a *tad distasteful*.

(Trump's hoping Pope Leo won't call him out again on his sadistic, amoral bleatings.)

You failed in your analysis during the campaign. Now we reap what you have sown.

And they don’t have oil

So why aren’t we going to war with North Korea then?

Keystone Kash’s Endless Wild Booze Binges Spilled by Top Officials Patel’s alleged drinking makes him a national security vulnerability, concerned officials said.

Kash Patel also gets drunk at Las Vegas’ Poodle Room, where he often spends time on the weekends. He flies to the $20k/yr members only club on a government jet at taxpayer expense and stays out of public view at the club atop the Fountainbleau Hotel.

Very legal and very cool.

Trump: Iran has agreed to handover its enriched uranium stockpiles, the nuclear dust.

Iran: Iran’s enriched uranium is going nowhere and transferring it has never been an option.
