So much for the ultimatum!
The cease-fire he declared is unilateral. Iran can and probably will go on shooting.
Trump has lost. Bigly. Iran still controls the Strait and has made the Turd look like a weak, ineffectual fool. And now the world hates us.
So much losing!
I along with most of the world (excepting Lady Lindsey Graham and the rest of Trump's bootlicking sycophants) are once again very grateful for the demented idiot chickening out again, with the usual "two weeks" proclamation...
He didn't just chicken out. He surrendered.

In a bigly artful deal, one gets what one wants. Trump gout nothing. Trump lost. Bigly.
BTW there is no cease-fire. A cease-fire is an agreement between two sides, and Iran hasn't agreed to anything.
So much Turding! 😛😛😛😛😛

Yeah, this deal was a real masterpiece. David, can you summarize what the United States got out of this deal? How are we better off than before March 1?

Here is what you asked for -- (I posted this info in a separate post) ----Less than 90 minutes before his self-imposed 8 p.m. Tuesday deadline, President Trump announced a two-week, “double sided” ceasefire with Iran — a last-minute agreement that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and temporarily halt a conflict that has stretched nearly 40 days and rattled global markets. ---- The deal hinges on a single, high-stakes condition: Iran must allow “COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING” of the strait, the narrow waterway that carries roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. Tehran agreed, with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi confirming ships will be permitted to pass for the duration of the pause under Iranian military oversight. ---- Trump framed the agreement as a sign the U.S. had already achieved its core military objectives. “This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” he wrote on Truth Social, adding that both sides are “very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE.” He said a 10-point proposal from Tehran now serves as a “workable basis” for negotiations and claimed “almost all” major disputes have been resolved, with the two-week window intended to finalize the deal. ---- Instead, the announcement triggered an immediate shift in global markets. Brent crude — the international oil benchmark — plunged roughly 14 percent within an hour, reflecting sudden relief that one of the world’s most vital shipping lanes would remain open, at least for now. ---- Read here ---- https://mxmnews.com/article/9028cbdb-676f-415d-8f4b-ce6c1180b367?deadline-deal-trump-announces-double-sided-ceasefire-iran-reopens-hormuz
Trump just announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran and I need everyone to understand what actually happened here because the headlines are going to be hilariously wrong by morning. For five weeks, every foreign policy expert on earth has been saying Trump's deadlines are meaningless. He threatens, he extends, nothing happens. 'Classic bluff.' Except during every single extension, Iran quietly let more ships through the Strait of Hormuz. First Chinese ships. Then Indian ships. Then French, Japanese, Omani. The strait went from "fully closed, global crisis" to "selectively open, we're just doing a toll booth thing now" ...and somehow nobody in mainstream media connected those dots. Tonight Trump posts: ceasefire, two weeks, BUT Iran has to fully open the strait. Not partially. Not the toll booth version. Fully. And Iran already sent a ten-point proposal and almost all the points are agreed to. The country with no navy, no Supreme Leader, no missile production, and no nuclear program just sent a ten-point proposal to negotiate. That's writing your terms of surrender in a nice font. Pakistan literally flew to Washington and asked Trump to please stop because they think they can close the deal. A nuclear-armed neighbor of Iran is begging the United States for two more weeks. But tomorrow morning you will read "TACO Trump Blinks on Iran Deadline" in seventeen different publications, all written by people who have been wrong about every deadline so far and see no reason to start being right now. The deadlines worked. They were always working. -
It was a complete surrender David. We even acknowledged their right to control the straight which will allow them to enact their toll scheme.

More lying bullshit. Are you really that obtuse?
