The war against Iran that Donald Trump said he won three weeks ago is still raging on. The Strait of Hormuz remains shutdown. Both sides are continuing to launch bombing raids. Trump is still seeking $200 billion more in Pentagon funding. Gas and oil prices are still rising. 2,400 Marines were just to deployed to the Middle East. And all for a war for which Trump has already declared victory.

Trump’s justification for continuing to fight has run the gamut from his lust for a genocidal solution, to his sociopathic desire to just have fun slaughtering people. He couldn’t care less about the welfare of American troops or Iranian civilians. Or for that matter, Americans here at home…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Knows Where Iranian Sleeper Cells Are in the U.S. But He Isn’t Going After Them?

Trump recently pledged that he would escalate his bombing of Iran if they didn’t open up the Strait of Hormuz within 24 hours. But he is already backing off of that pledge with an announcement that he is engaging with Iran to formulate a peace agreement. He posted the following comment on his dedicated, for-profit propaganda platform, Truth Social, Monday morning…

“I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.”

Trump offered no evidence of any actual discussions, or with whom they would be held, since he previously claimed to have killed all of their leaders. And Iran is denying that any discussions have taken place. As reported by The Hill…

“A senior Iranian security official on Monday said Tehran is not in talks with President Trump adding that Trump ‘backed down’ from further attacks on energy infrastructure due to pressure from the markets and allies.”

It’s difficult to decide who trust in this situation. Iran is not a particularly reliable source of information. But Trump is arguably even worse. Trump’s claim that he is having “VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS” comes in stark contrast to his prior statements regarding negotiations with his fellow Americans in Congress. While he is bragging that he is dealing with the terrorist regime in Iran, he is simultaneously refusing to deal with Democrats here at home…

“I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they Vote with Republicans to pass ‘THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.’ It is far more important than anything else we are doing in the Senate.”

Trump isn’t making any secret of whose side he is on. And it clearly isn’t the side of America or its people. He actually trusts Iran as a negotiating partner more. And he is happy to deal with the leaders of the country he is at war with, but not the leaders of his domestic political opposition that he maligns as “Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats.”

What’s more, Trump’s problem with Democrats is that they won’t agree to his “Voter Suppression Act,” that he has prioritized above everything else, including the war in Iran and the skyrocketing cost of living in the U.S. He is terrified of the likelihood that American voters are going to strip his MAGA Republicans from their congressional majorities in November, and that Democrats will hold him accountable for his crimes.

To Trump that means that Democrats are the real enemy to America. No, really. He literally said so yesterday…

Trump just literally declared WAR on at least half of the American people.Does he plan to start bombing Democrats? He's already trying to obstruct them from voting. Because he is TERRIFIED and knows that Democrats will hold him accountable for his crimes when they assume power.
