His handlers obviously had no idea on the optics here. Trump probably had no idea where he even was much less the significance.

I understand that Trump is now saying that the world is simply jealous of his success in Iran.

Who couldn't have predicted that?

I'm willing to bet insiders don't see this as a loss because they negotiated a way for them to make money off of the reconstruction or Iran's control of the straight.

I wouldn't be surprised if it came out eventually that this entire military action was nothing more than using our military as a bargaining chip to force Iran to a table for this exact purpose. As always, whenever these people seem inept or incompetent, it's because we're assuming their intentions and actions are normal and should be interpreted in a normal way.

Trump hits back at critics as Iran deal sparks debate over US concessions
saudigazette.com.sa

... US President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out at criticism over the terms of the interim peace deal he signed with Iran, saying those who think he hasn't been tough enough on Tehran were "either jealous, bad people or stupid."

His comments come shortly after the US president and his Iranian counterpart signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire, including in Lebanon, and reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

The interim agreement has prompted many to conclude that the terms appear to have strengthened Tehran's hand and the US media appear unanimous in condemning Trump's concessions to Iran.

The agreement is "widely seen as the biggest foreign-policy bet of the president's second term," according to the Wall Street Journal, who noted Trump "will face resistance from Iran policy hawks who say the president is giving up far more than he is getting. ...

For years, many of us have simply pictured Putin at the shoulder of Trump, whispering in his ear, suggesting as to how he can enrich himself by destroying America. This is surely just another helicopter fleeing from the roof of the embassy...
