I think what he said was, "we made another killing in the Market, for ourselves and our Friends", and I know it's not really a Peace Plan, but an agreement to maybe Negotiate.... and that whatever we Negotiate might be not as good as the Deal Obama got, but it will be right before the Midterms."

You know, that's what he told MTG is the reason he will never release the Epstein Files; because, he said, "they would hurt friends of mine'.

And we all know that he has only one real friend; Donald Trump.

Market manipulation Thursday.

This is the 38th time that he has a peace deal ready to go with Iran.

How soon until Bibi blows this one up?

How soon until Iran says "What da fuq is he talking about?"

I'm waiting for the Lego Movie response.

One of the reasons Trump does this TACO thing is that he is mentally compromised.

This is repetitive, perseverative behavior.

Trump is addled. God knows what he actually understands.

Iran Once Again Forces Trump to "TACO"
Following the warning from Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya (PBUH), the President of the United States once again backed down from his threats against Iran.

Trump wrote just minutes ago on Truth Social:

"Given that negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran have reached the highest level with Iran's leadership and have been confirmed, I, as President of the United States of America, have canceled the planned attacks and bombings against Iran tonight"

Prior to that, Major General Abdollahi had warned:

If America carries out attacks against Iran once again, the fire of war will not only engulf the region but will become more widespread and extensive
This behavioral pattern of Trump, who initially threatens a side intensely and then backs down at the first sign of danger, has become known among American users as "TACO"

"Dishonorable': Trump says leaked Iran ceasefire terms fake

Trump decries dishonorable people' after reports Iran made few concessions in deal US has said could be soon signed.

United States President Donald Trump has lashed out at Iran after state media reported alleged terms of a possible ceasefire agreement.

In a post on Truth Social on Friday, Trump said the published terms were "fake news" and had "NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing".

"Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith," he said.

It further indicated that any breakthrough remained on shaky ground, despite Trump on Thursday saying a deal had been "approved" and an official signing could happen within days."

and

"The report indicated virtually no compromise from Iran on key issues that have long held up a breakthrough in a more lasting deal, since an agreement to pause fighting was reached in early April.

It said that no new agreements had been reached on Iran's nuclear programme, saying only that new nuclear negotiations would begin 60 days after the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the US.

Likewise, it said Iran made no agreement to relinquish control of the Strait of Hormuz, and that the preliminary agreement relates only to the normalisation of passage in the waterway and maritime security. Tehran will address the matter with Oman, it said."
