After ending the war ten times is the Iran war finally over? Well, Trump says the deal is done historic and finished, except nobody signed it yet. And JD Vance immediately starts lowering expectations. He says, you know, peace isn't going to happen overnight. You've got to be patient. We've got to see what happens.
Then Trump's White House UFC birthday spectacle turns into a national embarrassment as a fighter says Michelle Obama is a man and Trump falls asleep during the fight only to be slapped away by Dana White. Even people beating the crap out of each other wasn't enough to keep Trump awake. Imagine if that happened to Biden and then stunning conflict of interest as Trump's crypto venture is promoted during coverage of the UFC fight. It turns out the fighters will get a bonus in Trump's crypto coin. It's disgusting. It's insane. It may be the most embarrassing moment for the United States in a very long time. And that's not even all of it. A woman who loves Trump has her husband not has the husband of a woman who loves Trump is arrested by ICE. And she says, I still love Trump. All of that and more today.
Well, the war is finally over, right? Or is it? As we entered week 16 of Donald Trump's three to four week war, we were told we finally gotten a deal. We will analyze what is in that. But sort of funny and pathetic. Before announcing the deal, a furious Donald Trump on his 80th birthday goes on Truth Social and flips out because they're yucking his yum.
Trump, posting, quote, This morning's attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a peace deal with Iran, Israel has the right to defend itself against threats. But the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless. Nobody was hurt, injured or killed and should not disrupt this important process.
We are very close to a deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace. Let's not blow it. Hours later, just before the dilapidated and humiliating UFC fight on the White House lawn was scheduled to start, Donald Trump goes back on truth social. Hold on. Do I have it here? Where's my essential? Exactly. Trump goes on troth and starts trothing like a maniac and announces with great fanfare and marginally acceptable syntax, grammar and spelling. Quote, the deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete.
Congratulations to all. I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening eight eight eight. Call now toll free the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz and simultaneously herewith authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval Blockade ships of the world. Start your engines. Let the oil flow.
Ladies and gentlemen, the war is over. And then Trump continuing.
This great deal will bring peace and security to the whole region. Many presidents have tried to make peace with Iran and all have failed before me. The leaders of the region have for the first time found a president who can help them achieve real peace with the opening of the straight upon the signing of the deal on Friday. Uh oh, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the region and the world. So the deal is done, except it isn't. No other president has been able to achieve this, except Obama did. And Trump canceled it. And Trump says we have a done deal, except the signing hasn't quite happened yet. So that is not a done deal. That is an anticipated deal. It is the 40th anticipated deal of this 16 week war, which was only supposed to last three weeks. It's sort of like infrastructure week before actually doing any infrastructure. Or we have a health care plan ready to be signed into law two weeks from now. And that was July of 2020 You do the math. So Trump loves treating the announcement as the accomplishment. Trump loves. It's sort of like when Trump signs an executive order, he considers that he's done something. But the executive order is just a memo. It's like, hey, I would like for someone to do this thing. And what exactly did Iran agree to? What exactly has the United States agreed to? What happens if either side violates the agreement? Well, those questions are secondary to nothing has actually been signed. What mechanisms for verification that the deal is being adhered to exist? We don't know. Donald Trump, desperate on his birthday on the day of this rained out mosquito ridden UFC fight, desperate to announce a deal that we can't even really evaluate yet. Now, as expected, stocks are reacting exactly as Trump wanted. As I am recording this, the Dow is up nearly 600 points.
