  1. Interesting how Trump bounced from “make deal with Iran” to “unconditional surrender” to “make peace”. If the goal is to permanently deny Iran nuclear weapons, a ceasefire seems retrograde or orthogonal to progress. I suppose Trump’s faith in his own deal-making prowess is such that he thinks Khamenei will promptly come out of his bunker and agree to zero enrichment.

  2. It occurs to me that Trump’s angry and emboldened attitude does not bode well for Liberation Day Redux in July.

    Not that anyone anymore anycare about tariffs, which apparently will cause neither price increases, margin contraction, nor demand erosion, no, several hundred $billion annually of tariff taxes will be paid by foreigners . . . if only Powell could grasp that.

  3. Just to refresh his fading powers of memory, Sir Donald needs to own up to the fact we actually flew the missions in our planes from good old Missouri and dropped our bombs on Iran. Israel didn’t do this one .. day of rest …

    1. Yeah, see my editorial in the Daily I just sent out. It’s in your inbox. The question (one question) is how are the Iranians going to go back there? To Fordo, I mean. Everyone on Earth’s watching that site. It’s not as if they can just return to the ant hill and go right to work getting it back up and running. Ultimately, though, it’s probably going to dawn on Trump eventually that this isn’t a job that’s ever going to be “done” absent an invasion or a regime change that results in an overtly friendly government willing to earnestly engage the international community about what all’s actually there (including any secretive sites), where it all is, what should be done about it and so on. Since the latter’s far-fetched, and because there’s no public support for an invasion, I gotta believe we haven’t seen the last of the US bombs, and I know we haven’t seen the last Israeli strikes and/or assassinations.

      1. I just saw your editorial. However motivated the regime was to build a weapon has been adjusted by the joint strikes. Ironically, Trump’s demand for a ceasefire actually benefits Iran in this scenario. I don’t know if they try to get back into Fordo or not but the Economist actually identified that Iran had been researching Ultra-High Performance Concrete with the objective of ameliorating the threat of the MOP.

      2. Yep. Welcome to the big leagues DJT, where you can’t hide what you don’t know. Your about to be schooled: “…and I know we haven’t seen the last Israeli strikes and/or assassinations…”

  4. Homie got played straight up and he is not liking it. (Can you say, “Israel’s little btch?”) I love seeing him drop f-bombs on the press. America needs to see what a petulant child he really is. Maybe he can throw some “gddammits” in there next time as well, and finally start to challenge some of his evangelist’s supporters ideas about him.

  5. “Did you see my big, beautiful planes? They made big booms! Who’s better than me?
    Greenland better watch out now, because I got more of those big, beautiful planes.”

  6. Razing is all the rage for Bibi and, as a self-professed builder, Mar-A-Lardo is not constitutionally equipped for this operation. Trump seems at least peripherally aware that it’s easier to destroy than build, given his recent domestic “successes.” It might not be that hard for Bibi to goad him into extending that approach internationally — just present him with a faux-golden “Der Nobel-Priz far Shalom” and remind him that Jimmy Carter’s shoes don’t have lifts.
