If there's an Agreement now it's not to end the War, it's to continue the Ceasefire on Iran's Terms.

And you can see he's prolly going to Taco because he's preening all over social media about how tough he is.

Also, this got him out of having to go to his idiot son's wedding this weekend.

There's no agreement Trump won't break if it suits him.

@#5 ... There's no agreement Trump won't break if it suits him. ...

That is the main problem that Iran faces in negotiating with Pres Trump. And Iran has said as much.

And, for the record, I will say up front that my view of the current Iran regime is that it is evil, just like the prior occupants of the regime.

But, Pres Trump's actions have shown the Iran's regime to be correct when it says that Pres Trump is not trustworthy.

Take a step back and let that sink in.

Iran's evil regime may be correct when it says that Pres Trump cannot be trusted.
