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

Trump doesn't understand any of this, does he?

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...

*** Israeli Rightwing Newspaper Blasts Dummkopf Trumpf for Iran Deal ***

"Mr. President, you have gravely harmed the human interests of the enlightened world, and you may be remembered forever as the president who brought about America's humiliation. You betrayed us, the Israelis. And in a single moment, the contempt you once faced suddenly seems so justified and logical....

...You could have been the greatest president of all in this era, alongside Woodrow Wilson, who won World War I and created the foundation for the international framework of the new world; alongside Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who defeated the Nazis and Japan; and behind George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Then you would have deserved not only the Nobel Prize you covet, but eternal recognition and respect from everyone in the world who mocked you, and there are many such people."

A normal person just can't make nauseating drivel like this up. Maybe AI helped the author.

*** VPOTUS JD Vance Upbraids Israeli Leadership Over Iran Deal ***

VPUTZ JD Vance: "I guess my message to [the Israelis] would be twofold. Number one, Dummkopf J. Trumpf is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world's superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world."

Vance also pointed to the fact that Israel is extremely reliant on US military support. "The other thing that I would say is that over the last three months, two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars," he sniveled.

In an interview with The New York Times, published on Thursday, JD Vance specifically called out ethnic cleansers Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, both of whom have rejected the US-Iran MoU.

"And I guess my response to them would be: What is your exact proposal? You're a country of nine million people. You can't just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have," Vance said.

The US vice president added that the Israeli ministers should "give a little bit of credit to the United States of America, which I think has been an incredible partner for the Israeli government for a long time."
