I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is. I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others. If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy. If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy. If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it. It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume. Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.” And that’s the part that should chill us. Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform? Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress. Now the mask is off. Now we know. And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand. – Michael Jochum, Not Just a Drummer: Reflections on Art, Politics, Dogs, and the Human Condition.

Too obvious.

"Can we inspect to verify compliance with the deal" is a pretty important detail to have unresolved.
Jun 16
Hannity: Let's talk about any place, anywhere, any time U.S. Inspectors? That's part of the deal? Vance: Absolutely something we are negotiating over. That is one of the final details that’s going to be figured out here

If Reagan was alive today, he would be one of the harshest critics of Trump and what he's done to the GOP. "I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain." –Liz Cheney
I campaigned for Ronald Reagan. Met him several times. Spent my life speaking, writing, teaching, advocating for conservative policy, limited government, free-markets and individual liberty. Spoke numerous times at CPAC, Heritage, Cato, and to Republican groups all over the country. Spoke this spring to a Turning Point group. And I have been driven from today's Republican Party. So be it.

Greenland is now asking Trump to invade, hoping to secure a deal similar to the one Iran got.

The degree to which this mounting mockery of the Iran MOU will rattle the Art-of-the-Deal-President remains a legitimate wildcard.

Trump states Qatar to invest $19 trillion in the U.S…which explains everything about why Trump is insisting on losing a war. Apparently we are now the United States of Qatar? Given Trump, Witkoff Kushner, and Vance, is the White House itself compromised?

US officials have now confirmed in a briefing that Iran will get full access to a total of $100 billion in frozen funds and the $300 billion reconstruction fund, both included in the deal with implementation now underway, per WSJ. More than $150 billion of the fund has already been committed, directly contradicting Trump's claims that the US would not contribute to the $300 billion fund, per Reuters. @HormuzLetter

Wut? How is that possible?
NBC News anchor asked J.D. Vance about reports of potential navigation fees through the Strait of Hormuz, inquiring: “But these fees for navigation, are those going to exist or is this something that the Iranians are inventing?” Vance responded: “You know, this is one of these things that the Iranians have talked about that we haven’t discussed.

I acquired a copy of the White House talking points on the Iran MoU and it reads like an accidental confession memo written by a fifth grader. It took the White House four or five days to produce this — and they still have not released the actual MoU. They are trying to claim total victory while admitting there is no final deal. Now look at their top five points. 1) “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” That is not a term. That is an aspiration. It is also only one of the objectives the administration laid out at the start. The stated goal was not merely “no nuclear weapon.” It was to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons capacity, ballistic missile production, and terror proxy network. So where are the missile provisions? Where are the proxy provisions? Where is the enforcement mechanism? 2) “President Trump ended the fighting on every front, including Lebanon.” Are we supposed to be this dumb? If Hezbollah is still attacking Israel as they are tonight, the fighting is not “over.” What this really means is that the White House is tying Israel’s freedom of action against Hezbollah to Trump’s Iran deal. That puts the U.S. right back in the Obama role: restraining our ally to preserve a deal with our enemy. It also throws Lebanon under the bus — at least the part of Lebanon not controlled by Hezbollah. 3) “The Strait of Hormuz is open again, free of charge.” This could be the most absurd talking point in the whole memo but there are just so many contenders. Iran threatened the world’s oil artery, then gets relief for reopening what it had no right to close. That is not “performance.” That is hostage-taking with a tariff schedule. And if the Strait needed to be opened, the United States had the military power to open it. Instead, Trump is treating Iranian blackmail as a deliverable. 4) “Iran’s rewards come from its own unfrozen money, not American taxpayers.” Spare us. Sanctions are leverage. Unfreezing Iranian funds gives the regime resources it otherwise would not have. Money is fungible. Whether it comes from U.S. taxpayers or frozen accounts, the strategic effect is the same: Iran gets cash and we know how they'll use it. I'm just waiting for Vance to literally repeat John Kerry verbatim. If Iran’s nuclear program is “in ruins,” its military is “gutted,” its economy is “collapsing,” and the regime had “no other choice left,” why are we rewarding it, rebuilding it, and negotiating with it at all? 5) “Obama never even got a signed document. President Trump did.” Really? That is point five? I had to re-read that several times. Who cares if the document is signed? Is Trump planning to sue them in court? Is that a deliverable? Obama at least released the awful JCPOA text in 2015, while hiding several annexes. Trump’s team is bragging about signing an MoU they will not show us yet, for a deal they haven't delivered. On Hannity, JD Vance was asked why they will not release it. His answer was that it would come Friday because of protocol nonsense reasons reasons reasons. Seriously? We have a president who claims he can declassify anything, anytime he wants — but somehow the Iran MoU is trapped in paperwork? The reality is that the administration’s own talking points give away the game. They are asking us to trust slogans because they do not want us reading terms. The terms that Vance and Trump discuss publicly should be unacceptable to anyone who cares about national security. Right now, what we have is a hidden MoU, a bunch of chest-thumping, and the JCPOA playbook with less transparency. The White House says Trump negotiated from strength <-- they keep repeating that word like we're imbeciles. Fine. Then show us why he squandered it.

No, this is not correct, Senator. Per POTUS to NYT: Iran will be allowed to enrich at low levels and stockpiled uranium will be diluted. Hence, nuclear facilities are not being dismantled.
Exactly right 🎯 It’s sad and disturbing to see grifters rushing to flood the zone with misinformation and undermine President Trump’s historic negotiations. President Trump is on the verge of securing what many foreign policy “experts” in Washington have failed to do for decades: the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program and peace in the Middle East.

I’m guessing they’ll do both.
Trump’s under-appreciated masterstroke is that by demonstrating to the Iranians that they can successfully deter aggression by closing the Strait of Hormuz, he’s greatly reduced the incentive to actually build a nuclear weapon as opposed to just a ton of cheap drones.

I don’t think Trump even cares, because by the time it happens, he will no longer be POTUS anyway.
Before any Iran deal celebration — @gen_jackkeane's reality check this morning: The Islamic regime's goal is to "survive, recover and rebuild," then reverse whatever they sign. "That is who they are." That does not change with any agreement.

In different ways, we’ve now spent roughly 4 consecutive years with a president in office who seems to literally not know what’s going on around him. Truly remarkable and terrifying stuff.

Trump: We had two big moments—when I terminated the JCPOA, the Obama deal. It was a horrible deal for the United States. It was a deal where billions of dollars was given to Iran. They tried to bribe them to make a deal. That never works.

Dying a bit here. All these provisions being touted as major successes are laid out explicitly in the jcpoa
.@VP: "One of the core parts of the agreement is that the IAEA and the United States are going to help Iran destroy the highly enriched stockpile, and that's something that's spelled out very clearly in the MOU."

JD Vance on Iran: We are extending an open hand to Iran. If they want to change their relationship with us, we will change our relationship with Iran. That's the offer.

By the way, this is the deal. Admin will try to soften the blow claiming there's a rigorous verification regime but Iran just says no and, due to momentum deal creates, there in no incentive to enforce it. Besides, Trump defeat discredits use of military force against Iran.
Per Trump to NYT: US will dilute, not remove, enriched uranium; limits future enrichment, thus no dismantling nuke facilities, while Iran pledges not to obtain a nuke. MOU is just JCPOA — except Obama never formalized Iran's control of Strait or froze Israel in Lebanon. Plus, Trump is offering lots more money.
