    Trump the pre-election deal maker - I will solve all conflicts quickly. Biden let all this happen.

    Trump the post election helpless dunce - I don't want Israel to bomb Iran before negotiations tomorrow, but it may happen. It may happen any time.

    Hopefully he'll get us involved so you can be right again and get to complain more. Good luck.

    Iran is not playing a strong hand. They have been severely degraded (including their proxies) in recent months and Russia and China aren’t getting involved in a war against the US.

    Sounds like they may have taken out all of their senior military leaders.

    Sounds like Israel took out a decent amount of their counterattack capability. We’ll see.

    Approval rating down to 38%. Majority of Americans disapprove of the "Big, Beautiful Bill".

    If you don’t like it, win more elections.

    Triggered much by his low approval rating?

    Not at all. The point is he’s term limited and even if his approval goes up and down, he’s still going to be in office for the next 3.5 years.

    Dems will likely take back the House so it makes sense that he’s trying to get as much done as he can right now.

    Well deserved so far. Not a strong first 6 months for the administration.

    This kind of pivot would go a long way to helping that approval rating.

    Will anger a good chunk of the MAGA base, though.

    One thing about people with dementia is that they remember the distant past well, the recent past not so much. For example, when I visit my mother, I always ask her about her childhood or mine. She lights up. But she can’t remember if the Hurricanes won last night or not.

    Trump doesn’t understand why Russia was our ally and Germany and Japan our enemies* but now it’s the opposite.

    *I find it interesting that nobody ever brings up Italy in the context of enemies and allies from WW II.

    This was posted about an hour ago, and I swear I’m not him.

    He makes the point that Trump doesn’t know anything about anything, and also that his ignorance is a real positive for his most ardent fans. (Think about one of the staples of small talk, which is, man, you won’t believe this stupid thing my boss did. Everyone who has resented a clueless boss yet admired the boss for being rich and powerful despite the cluelessness is a Trump fan.)

    I don’t know anything about Thai poetry, and I wouldn’t expect Trump too. But if he were president of the Thai Poetry Association and he didn’t know anything about Thai poetry, that would be a problem.

    When you’re the president of the United States, you have to know economics and history and politics and geography, and Trump knows those like he knows Thai poetry. But he either thinks that’s ok, or he doesn’t realize it.

    Hopefully not. But it sounds late for that ... he seems pretty on board given his statements which reads ... take my deal or we will attack. And if you still don't take it, there are many more vicious attacks already planned.

    Don't be mad and turn this on me. Given your views, you should be furious at this. I am only calling out his promise that these deals would be easy and bloodless. At the end of the day, this is just continuation from the Clean Break strategy. Although, it's also quite an escalation. Under Trump's watch.

    trump isn't involved in the same way that Hezbollah isn't involved with Tehran. as it stands, US naval forces in the region (along with others) are already involved in intercepting Iranian missiles enroute to Israel.

    MAGAs must be thrilled that he's about to approve of a war with Iran.

    Many first-world countries hold military parades to celebrate their military, with at least 11 identified, including France, the UK, Italy, South Korea, Singapore, the US, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Frequency and scale vary; France's Bastille Day parade is annual and prominent, while US parades are less frequent, often tied to events like inaugurations.

    Someone is using AI again.

    Please, tell us the last inauguration in the US with a military parade. Also, I lived in NZ and they never had a military parade while I was there, nor since.
