11 years now of "Orange Man Bad" threads.

Look at the mess Trump has made of everything. The economy, his stupid war, no peace in the Ukraine, inflation rising, job creation cratering.

The strategy isn't to negotiate a deal, that's just the line to feed the media stooges. The goal is to eliminate this regime in Iran forever. Stooge.

Not working so well is it?

Working very well. You must not be paying attention.

‘Trump reportedly adopted a strategy of intentionally acting unstable and insulting towards Iran, in the hopes that it would push the U.S. adversary to negotiate an end to the war.

The unorthodox tactics were reportedly behind a string of controversial posts the president made this month about the vital Strait of Hormuz, administration officials told The Wall Street Journal.

In one post, on April 5, the president ordered Iran to “open the F*in’ Strait, you crazy b*****, or you’ll be living in Hell,” and ended the post with “Praise be to Allah.”. In another message, this one on April 7, the president threatened that a “whole civilization will die tonight” unless Iran agreed to open the strait.

A two-week ceasefire was announced that night, less than 90 minutes before Trump’s deadline. Still, the comments alarmed critics from both parties, with members of Congress and faith leaders reportedly contacting the White House to inquire about the president’s striking comments, according to the Wall Street Journal.’

Trump thought being ‘unstable’ in posts would encourage Iran war deal: report

The president reportedly thought appearing off-kilter and dangerous would make Iranians hasten to end the war, a new report says

This is a lie, of course, contrived by a Trump aide.

Trump is and has always been unstable and insulting; there is no ‘strategy.’

It’s further proof that Trump is unfit to hold any public office.

Admittedly, Trump bullying and intimidation doesn't work on Iran.

BUT

Iran never wants to negotiate anyway. So, I don't really see what difference it makes. What good is Iran coming to the table if they don't bring any silverware? All THEY bring to the table are threats and bullying. Both sides say it is either their way or the highway.
