Trump has put himself into a corner that has no good outcome! Just a few minutes ago, he stated that the truce with Iran is on "life support".

Iran War Live Updates: Long-Term Energy Crisis Looms as Trump Says Truce Is on ‘Life Support’

It is also evident that Trump's offer of an end to the war (of course, on his terms) was/is based on the fact that gasoline prices have gone up strongly and his promises for inflation, affordability of living, and oil prices dropping have gone "poof" (into the garbage can), meaning that he is losing big time support, even among his loyal supporters, which caused him to offer the peace deal.

He now wants to get rid of the gasoline taxes (which will cause our national debt to soar even move), but that requires congressional acceptance, and he is not likely to get that.

Trump has put himself into a corner that has no good solutions. His incompetence is in full display, given that whatever he does now is likely to end badly.

Best president ever? Hahahahaha!

All true. At the end of this war, Iran will be stronger than ever as Trump has destroyed free passage through the Strait of Hormuz. There has never been a President as staggering inept or corrupt as Trump. This war in the end will cost the US taxpayer trillions. Just like the war in Iraq...only the ramifications of this war will be far worse, if you thought that was possible.
 
Id say permanent damage to Irans oil fields is about to occur. Without firing a shot.

If Iran chooses Death they will open the spiggots and flood the Persian Gulf with oil.

Will they?
 
Iran is messing around before his visit to China as President Xi wants to see Trump grovel at the sandelled feet of the Communists.

Trump is going to need to play hardball with China, no trade offs. "We will fund Taiwan and support their independence (this alone is worth hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S, not offshoring of jobs, but revenues to the U.S), "we will apply maximum pressure to Iran and NO oil will be leaving until they agree to our terms. In time, if they insist, this oil may need to be confiscated and held for safe keeping as leverage against Iran. Also, Cuba will no longer be a free oil supplier to you. In good news, we will not increase tariffs against you or block market access, yet...we have some nice oil for sale if you are interested".

You have been at war for the last 30 years but didn't know it. Trumps legacy rises or falls based on if he visits China as a lion or a mouse. Even for all the criticism I had of Bidens open border and IRA, I thought he and his team did a pretty good job of confronting China.,/

How does your post address the OP? You do not address Trump's incompetence, in fact you are actually supporting it with this quote of yours: "Trump is going to need to play hardball with China, no trade offs".

You think that playing "HARDBALL" with China is going to bring positive results? That XI will back down? Hahaha. Trump is making the kind of mistakes that can cause more problems and not less. Would you support being in a war with China, which has nuclear weapons that could cause us (in the U.S.) big amount of problems and Americans dead?
 
I would be fine with Iran getting a nuke if they melted a blue city.
