So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”

French President Emmanuel Macron pulls off what could be the greatest diplomatic troll of all time by getting Trump to sign the "$300 Billion US Surrender to Iran" deal in... Versailles. The ignoramus Trump will have been clueless as to the historical significance of the location.

A post by Molly Ploofkins titled "Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide." The tweet contains a table comparing the Obama (JCPOA, 2015) and Trump (2026) agreements with Iran. The table has three columns: the first column lists categories such as Unfrozen Iranian assets, Iran's uranium stockpile, Iran's enrichment program, Iran sanctions, Hormuz Strait, American lives lost to get to deal, American injuries to get to deal, Direct costs to get to deal, Additional geopolitical risk, Additional costs, Global financial cost to reach deal, Effect on American wage growth, and American weapons stockpile. The second column, labeled Obama (JCPOA, 2015), includes values such as $1.7 billion, 98% reduction, Capped at 3.7%, In place, Open without restrictions or tolls, 0, 0, Costs of diplomacy, Negative, $ millions for oversight/monitoring, Minimal, None, and No change. The third column, labeled Trump (2026), includes values such as $25 billion, No agreement, No agreement, Lifted, Open with Iran/Oman control/tolls, 15, 543, Over $100 billion, Greater than Covid-19, $300 billion for reconstruction, $2.2 trillion, Set back 1.5 years, and Depleted. The post is dated June 18, 2026.

I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong.

Unless you're an brain-wormed partisan,
"Iran is an evil regime," "this preventive war was stupid and should never have been launched," and "this peace deal is a US humiliation" are three perfectly true things you should be able to believe at the same time.

This agreement is far worse than I expected.
To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war- we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible.

Donald Trump took us to war without a plan.
Families have lost loved ones. Billions of dollars have been spent. For what? This "deal" he signed leaves Iran stronger and in control of the Strait, but does little to advance US interests. The "master deal maker" just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What's next, the Russians get Alaska?

So let me get this straight. Democrats have invented an untraceable, undetectable method for rigging elections and rather than using that to win the presidency, they used it to win a mayoral race in a famously blue city in a famously blue state that pitted a seasoned politician against a widely-disliked reality TV personality with no discernible skills or redeeming qualities.

Diabolical is right.
