    If only he’d blame the one person truly responsible for this colossal embarrassment. Netanyahu.

    He made Trump look like a pathetic, easily manipulated fool. The only way Trump could possibly save face at this point, would be to completely cut Israel off from all US support. (wink, wink)

      His dementia would have to severely deteriorate his mind to the point that he was completely different person for him to backtrack now.

      He’s already been told that if the straight remains closed and the bombings continue that he risks a global depression, and Trump loves to talk trade. Surrendering is him trying to salvage what little he has left to lose.

      He could change his mind on everything but this. This is where the stakes are too high and he can’t afford to lose anymore ground.

        Nah, some reporter will ask a simple question, and he’ll go off about how tough he is, and Iran will do whatever he demands, or he’ll clobber them, and they’ll just quit the talks.

        If I were them, every time he opens his mouth, I’d go silent for a month. Let him twist for a while, before coming back. In a year, maybe he’ll learn to keep his mouth shut, but I doubt it.

          lol This is great (toxic) fun if you’re dealing with a difficult family member, but very dumb if you’re interacting with a belligerent nuclear empire.
