  1. If it was important to you, mention it.

    I could care less that he talks the language the third world barbarians understand.

    And oh look, it worked.

    So settle down….

  2. HRW,

    I don’t think you understand how the game is played.

    Like NJ said, he plays chess, the left plays off fear.

    “How many times are these people going to be clown themselves? After going on for paragraphs how Trump‘s threats are ineffective, Iran agrees to a cease-fire. You may not understand his tactics, but so far Trump has been winning this game.

    And they keep getting it wrong.”

    “U.S. and Iran Agree to Cease-Fire, Avoiding Trump’s Threats of Imminent Devastation

    The Pakistan-brokered deal was reached shortly before President Trump’s deadline for Iran to agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face the death of a “whole civilization.” An Iranian official said the shipping channel would be reopened, with conditions.

    The agreement was announced by Mr. Trump in a post on social media hours after Pakistan, a mediator in the dispute, urged him to stand down from the 8 p.m. Eastern time deadline he had set for Iran to accede to his demands. Pakistan proposed that each side observe a two-week cease-fire, and that during that time Iran allow oil, gas and other vessels to proceed unmolested through the economically vital waterway.

    Shortly after the cease-fire announcement, a U.S. official said American military strikes against Iran had stopped. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said in a statement that the Iranians would “cease their defensive operation,” and that “for a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz will be possible.”The cease-fire buys both sides time to try to reach a longer-term end to the war, which began at the end of February with the United States and Israel subjecting Iran to a withering military assault.

    Iran accepted Pakistan’s cease-fire proposal after frantic diplomatic efforts by Pakistan and last-minute intervention by China, a key ally, according to three Iranian officials. Iran’s national security council officially confirmed the agreement, casting it as a victory in which the United States accepted Iran’s terms.

  5. “Other than losing their entire navy, air force, a few strata of political leadership, top military minds, over 1,000 senior IRGC and Basij commanders, air defense and radar sites, numerous scientists, ballistic missile stockpiles and most launchers, drone and missile factories, proxies, etc.. Iran has the upper hand.”

  6. You already know this, because I’ve been telling you for years.

    This is also why everyones’ health care costs are currently spiking. The bailouts to cover for their horrible Obamacare scam are over.

    This is reality, which they hid.

  7. Many of us already have said more than once that we do not always like the way the president speaks. I don’t think we have to comment on everything he says, just as we don’t comment on what all his opponents say.

    For the record, I hate the use of the F word period. It seems it use for shocking folks is over from overuse, however.

    Placating enemies has never worked. Strong diplomacy is a wonderful tool. There is a lot that goes on that none of us is privy to.
