To precisely no one’s surprise, except perhaps the financial markets, the Short Fake Trump publicly backed down on his threats to bomb Iranian power plants although nothing has changed about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz:
US President Donald Trump has said he has ordered the Department of War to postpone strikes on Iranian power plants for five days, following what he claimed were “productive conversations” between Washington and Tehran. While Iranian media has denied outright that any talks with the American side took place at all, footage has emerged of significant blackouts affecting the Iranian capital on Sunday night.
I don’t even pay attention to anything that comes out of Mar-al-Largo anymore. It’s just a non-stop stream of lies, posturing, and relentless buffoonery. It’s a parody of President Trump, wherever he might be.
