The Guardian is publishing birthday messages to Trump for his 80th birthday from people all over the political spectrum. Anthony Scaramucci: "I found this birthday message for you outside Trump Tower: 'You sold me your soul. You got what you wanted. The tower. The power. The money. The name in gold. But you left a trail behind you, and it leads to the ninth circle. Goethe said any soul, while still living, can be saved. Will yours? Happy Birthday -- Mephistopheles.'" read more


The peace deal with Tehran is an Iranian victory.

The peace agreement announced by the US is actually a victory for Iran.

President Trump has announced that the United States and Iran have reached an agreement to end the war. "Congratulations to all!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. Then, he went to watch the loud show he had arranged for his birthday on the White House's South Lawn.

"The reality shows the following:

The war will end with the regime in Tehran intact and under the control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps;

The Strait of Hormuz will remain under the threat of Iranian attacks;
Iran will continue to possess significant stocks of drones and missiles;
The regime will maintain its capacity to be a state sponsor of terrorism;

Many sanctions will be lifted, and billions of dollars in unfrozen assets will flow to Iran.

In other words, the Iranians have achieved their key strategic objectives - the survival of the regime above all - while the Americans have not achieved any of their goals."
