This has been widely reported on since mid-March.

The president himself suggested it would be ok with him a couple days ago.

And then, yesterday, in a conversation with Jon Karl he said it was possible there could be a joint venture between the US and Iran.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

A ceasefire with still throttled (no more than 15 ships daily) Hormuz throughput well serves Tehran's strategic interest.

Iran's main leverage is a closed Strait + time, so building another 2 weeks of pressure on the global economy while not being bombed feels ideal from the Iranian perspective.

Maybe China's system of the government controlling who can become a billionaire is less bad than America's system of the billionaires controlling who can be in government.

Reckless and amoral bluster, followed by reckless and craven capitulation dressed as unconventional genius.

We’ve seen this pattern, over and over again.

I don't know what's going on here or what's true, but "Trump goes into racketeering business with Iran" is probably NOT the desired outcome of the other countries in the region.

I genuinely think a joint regime change plan for the US is probably the most logical course of action for Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE at this point. Another US leader might not have fought this war but no one else would have switched to the Iranian’s side overnight like this

I’m telling you, the best way to understand this ceasefire is that Trump, faithless and feckless as always, saw Iran winning the war and wanted to be on the winning side.

So he surrendered to them and switched sides

I don’t mean to sound controversial, but a president shouldn’t be able to walk away from threatening to wipe out an entire civilization and then just…you know…keep being viewed as a normal president. Seems he should always be “the guy who threatened a genocide.” Anyway, sorry to ruffle feathers.

Every Democrat should be saying “remove Trump” and making a legislative push for it. They aren’t.

Prosecuting and purging the Republican Party was Biden’s one job. When he failed to do his duty it was just a waiting game to this moment.

Under international law, "genocide" is such a fraught term because it requires showing 'dolus specialis,' or proof that perpetrators specifically aimed to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group.

Trump or someone on Trump's team intentionally crafted this to meet that standard.

This is a supervillain monlogue. I will never understand how anyone can watch this man say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and fail to recognize evil when they see it.

OBAMA: *wears tan suit*

- Behavior unbecoming for a president, major scandal.

TRUMP: *literally says he will end a civilization*

- Meh, whatever, it's Trump being Trump, hehe.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Nothing I could say about the GOP base is as illustrative as the fact that Trump understands that posting black people in what his audience considers a “white space” will make them incandescently angry bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3misgsp36jc2v

A big part of Donald Trump's appeal among his ~30%, ride-or-die core is that he's the first president to be sincerely, authentically stupid and incurious in the exact same way as the fabled Median Voter. *Nothing* about his unintelligence is a gimmick or a put-on.
