WELL NOW, that was easy breezy, no longer anything to worry about, or to see, let alone be bothered with.
After announcing a ceasefire in the weekslong war with Iran, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that the U.S. had emerged victorious. When Trump declared April 7 that the U.S. would suspend bombing Iran for two weeks to allow for negotiations, he said the U.S. had "already met and exceeded all military objectives."

The 34-Count Felon, the man whose name appears in the Epstein files at least 3000 times, who insists he never knew Epstein, the guy who swore he won the 2020 election, the guy who asked Russia if they are listening, who calls his association with Russia a Hoax, the guy who told his cultists there would be no new wars, and who promised his bigoted fans that grocery prices would immediately come down on day in office, the guy who told his MAGA base “America First,” has just declared “Total and complete victory. 100%.
No mention that the Strait of Hormuz had been open and free to transport shipments before He decided to declare war. Still tons of unenriched uranium in Iran. Still a hostile and hardline regime in power. Still, Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups are running wild. Higher gasoline prices at the pump than before he declared war. But in the land in which Trump lives, and is enabled to live by his Republican enablers, I guess the Iran War is over. Also, if a war is over, why would there be a ceasefire? Isn’t a ceasefire put in place to hopefully negotiate the end of a war?
But I guess this all TRUE, because Trump’s Ken Doll, Pistol Pete, the American Christian Crusader, repeated his idol’s word salad, saying, “a capital-V military victory,"
Gee, happy days are here again!
