The Wheels On The Bus Go ‘Round And ‘Round

I should just post this over and over:
Trump said Friday that the Strait of Hormuz situation was "over." It very obviously wasn't.

Trump said Friday that Iran agreed "to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.” The next day, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again.

Trump said yesterday that Vance isn't going to Pakistan for the talks. Officials quickly said Vance is going to Pakistan for the talks.

Trump said this morning that Vance had left and would be there tonight Islamabad time. Officials quickly said Vance is actually leaving tomorrow.

Trump said Iran has no military anymore and that "everything's gone." Iran continues to have a military with destructive capabilities.

Trump said the pope issued a statement saying Iran can have a nuclear weapon. That never happened.

Trump said nobody expected Iran to retaliate against Gulf countries. That was widely expected.

Trump said the only planes the US has really lost in the war have been to friendly fire. He said this at the same event at which he had spoken at length about what happened after Iran shot down a US plane.

Story on the president's ever-growing number of false claims on big and small matters related to the war – and his triumphant claims about supposed Iranian concessions that we just can't assume are based in reality:

Trump on Iran:
2/6-“They want to make a deal badly”
3/2-“They want to make a deal badly”
3/16-“They want to make a deal badly”
3/24-“They want to make a deal badly”
3/25-“They want to make a deal badly”
4/1-“They want to make a deal badly”
4-13-“They want to make a deal badly”… pic.twitter.com/Cjqjnj67Ih

  1. "They want to make a deal badly" x 8 = "every accusation is a confession".
