Trump threatening to destroy an entire civilization to get Iran to the table proves that he’s a Master Negotiator. The same way you shit in your hand and rub it into your hair when you’re on an airplane and want more pretzels.

My assumption is tonight he’ll announce a “breakthrough in talks,” and nothing will happen. Although in reality, nothing at all will have happened. We are the prisoner of a man who’s lost what very little sanity he had left. I could be wrong.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

The U.S. will emerge from this period diminished as a world power, absent the alliances that once made us dominant. That’s good. Because we are not a serious people. A serious people would not have elected him. Or put up with this. Unserious people shouldn’t be trusted. And won’t be.

It’s beautiful to watch. He consulted no one and his stepped into a minefield immune to his bullshit. The BEST case scenario is U.S. influence in the mideast is ceded to China. The Iranian regime emerges more secure and America weaker. The trick will be watching him say that’s a good thing.

Starts a fight with a guy he does not know or understand. Is ASTOUNDED when the guy fights back. Turns to the gathered crowd and demands someone win the fight for him. Everyone folds their arms. Throws a tantrum because it’s “unfair.” The Art Of The Deal #manlymanstrength
