In the palace of the Sun King, Trump staged strategic collapse as triumph while Iran pocketed concessions, Israel balked, Republicans fumed, and the algae bloomed back home.
Regarding the questionable US/Iranian MOU suspending the conflict in the Gulf, you half-jokingly suggested that its success would be yours, but failure would rest with Vice President Vance, essentially threatening to throw him under the bus.
I’d urge caution. Upon your resignation or removal from office and given the discretionary pardon powers afforded United States presidents, you should give some serious thought to the size of the bus under which JD can toss your sorry hindquarters.
What's remarkable, or perhaps not, is how fast the Trump followers are spinning back to assure us all that this was entirely the plan, and this is not the same deal Obama made only without sanctions, oversight, and an open Strait. And a $300 billion price tag. The spin is probably slowing the rotation of the Earth.
I am so glad that this administration is made up, largely, of Christians. Otherwise, we might have seen, say, the killing of dozens of school children, followed by NO acknowledgement of responsibility, or atonement - much less deep regret - coming from them (a totally hypothetical situation, of course).
Brilliant encapsulation. The green reflecting pool is a perfect metaphor for all things dire when a megalomaniacal circus barker and his rabidly corrupt, serially inept circus of clowns rule: a distracting vanity project undertaken on a whim, ignorant in its conception, and executed by an insider contractor who was grossly overpaid at taxpayer expense.
So it is with everything Trump & Co. say and do: impulsive and vainglorious whims, idiocy, lies, betrayals, unfathomable corruption, and costly consequences for all but the insiders who profit off of others’ money, misery, and deaths.
The apparent goal of the Iran deal: boosting oil flows in the short term before the midterms, which Trump intends to steal by all means possible. (The last I checked, he had ordered MAGA Senators to stand down from voting on his nominee to head national intelligence so he can temporarily install a loyal capo to ensure MAGA “wins” in November.)
The catastrophic fallout of the 2024 election, billionaire money in politics and media, and an easily manipulated electorate continues.
One appendix to the whole story of this administration: How much of the $300 billion or more will stick to the Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff families?
My Dear Mr. President:
Regarding the questionable US/Iranian MOU suspending the conflict in the Gulf, you half-jokingly suggested that its success would be yours, but failure would rest with Vice President Vance, essentially threatening to throw him under the bus.

Regards,
