    Trump declared an extension. Iran is conspicuously missing from the announcement.

    Imagine you have the power to make the markets go up or down with a tweet.
    And you blatantly use that to make yourself and your pals billions, again and again.
    And the consequences of your tweets involve killing thousands of people.
    And everyone can see it.
    And no one stops you.

      And Republicans can stop this any time they wanted to, but don’t.
      And Democrats would stop it tomorrow, if voters gave them the power.
      And people here on social media keep saying Democrats are controlled opposition, both sides are the same, don’t vote for Democrats.

        You ARE joking, right? Democrats will come to power after this and leave everything exactly the way trump left it because they’re the same shit, just with a functioning brain

    Don’t you just love that major foreign policy and global economic market decisions are just made on a whim?

    They have to be playing up the Taco Tuesday thing on purpose. They have to be. To what end? I have no idea. But they cant be oblivious to the meme and yet they keep making these scaling back announcements on Tuesday anyway. There’s 6 other days in a week guys.

    Maybe Trump’s dementia just has a weekly mood cycle? Maybe the cabinet just take turns giving him his daily blow job, and JD just gives the best sloppy ones every Teusday and calms the beast? Idk.

    This is all part of the Art of the Deal and his 37 point plan of achieving the as-yet-to-be-defined goals—apart from the one about scooping up half a tonne of 60% enriched uranium Iran’s just gonna leave on the porch.

    Not trying to defend him but… uh… Why are we making fun of him for not bombing civilians? Clearly he TACO’d but man I sure prefer that to the alternative.
