So, Status Quo Ante

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump has offered Iran the concept of a framework for a temporary memorandum of understanding outlining parameters to begin negotiations.

The concept of a proposal of an idea of a framework of an outline for temporary consideration of a plan to be presented in two weeks. 

Or so.

Beginning with seating arrangements and size and shape of the table….

And continuing the ceasefire. That goes without saying.

The only Iran deal Trump is looking for right now is one that will convince anyone outside his cult that he didn’t lose and get humiliated because of stupidity & hubris. Whatever that looks like he would do in a second. The problem is that Iran isn’t cooperating. So here we are.

Sooner or later he’ll convince himself Iran has cooperated. After all, he started this insisting on “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” And here we are, almost as many weeks without bombing as weeks with constant bombing.

I’m now convinced this whole Iran ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ BS was just Trump’s excuse to avoid Junior’s wedding. pic.twitter.com/rkTSk9uHzQ

If Trump wasn’t such a feckless boob, I’d believe it. I almost do, anyway. It is Trump, after all.

Trump does make it hard not to believe. Was it really just this morning he was announcing an agreement?

Of course it was….

Trump, like Putin, thought his war would be over in a few days with an easy, complete and total victory.
