It has been 84 days since Donald Trump launched his 24 to 42 day war against Iran. In that time 13 American soldiers have died, dozens more were seriously wounded, at least $30 billion have been spent, the U.S. and world economies have floundered, the cost of gas, groceries, healthcare, housing, etc., have skyrocketed, and diplomatic relations with most of America’s allies have been squandered. Are we tired of winning yet?

A war that Trump promised would be over before Easter has lasted until Memorial Day, so far. It has endured multiple justifications by Trump and his flunkies, many of them that contradict themselves. What’s more, Trump’s war was already won and done a week after it had begun, according to his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…
SEE THIS: Fox News Has Already Declared Victory in Iran, While Trump is Threatening ‘Complete Destruction’
Despite all of that, Trump is still issuing declarations of victory on an endless loop. The latest one was in a long and lie-riddled comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that read in part…
“One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration. It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. […] The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner.”
This is just the most recent example of Trump insisting that all’s well in Iran and that peace is at hand. Never mind that he and his regime have been doing that for months. For the record, here are are just a few of the preposterously positive assessments announced by Trump and Company (with many more documented here)…
- March 9: Trump said the war was “very complete, pretty much.”
- March 13: Trump tells Fox News that “I don’t think it’s gonna be long,” and that it is over when “I feel it in my bones.”
- March 25: White House messaging framed Iran as essentially defeated
- April 6: Fox News reported Trump saying the war was “nearing completion.”
- April 8: Trump posted a message on Truth Social saying it’s “A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen.”
- April 16: Trump said, the war is “going along swimmingly,” and “it should be ending pretty soon.”
- May 2: Trump reportedly informed Congress that hostilities had “terminated.”
- May 18: Trump said “serious negotiations” were underway and that a peace arrangement was close.
- May 23: Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly.”
Given those powerful proclamations of triumph, it’s difficult to understand why we are still engaged in ongoing hostilities with a supposedly vanquished enemy. What’s more, one must wonder what Trump still hopes to achieve.
It’s notable that Trump began his tirade, not with criticism of the foreign enemy with whom he’s at war, but with an attack on his perennial domestic enemy, President Barack Hussein Obama. Clearly Trump is suffering from an acute case of OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder). And he uses Obama’s full name like an angry mother chastising an ill-behaved child. But in Trump’s case, it’s just a racist insult.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that was negotiated by Obama assured that Iran would never build or acquire nuclear weapons. Iran also agreed to regular inspections to insure compliance by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). And for ten years Iran was full in compliance with the agreement. Until Trump tore it up and replaced it with – nothing! That’s when Iran resumed their nuclear programs.
Trump’s tentative new deal with Iran would reportedly open the Strait of Hormuz (which was open before his war) with Iran retaining control. It would unfreeze funds and remove sanctions, giving Iran access to billions of dollars in oil revenue. And it allow Iran to keep stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. Even if those flaws were resolved in continuing talks, the deal would still fall short of the one that Obama made that had built-in methods of verification, granted Iran far less monetarily, and and cost the U.S. far less in both blood and money.
Meanwhile, Trump has repeatedly said that Iran is “begging” to make a deal. Although there is no evidence of that whatsoever. To the contrary, Iran has contradicted every White House boast of progress at the negotiating table. Simultaneously, Trump has actually hampered negotiations by threatening to send Iran “back to the stone ages” or that “a whole civilization will die tonight.” He has also given Iran several deadlines to surrender that he subsequently ignored when they passed. As a result, no one takes Trump’s word seriously anymore, if they ever did.
In short, Trump has delivered nothing of substance after taking twice as long as he promised to get any results. So to pacify his badly bruised ego, he’s lashing out like a petulant toddler at Obama, an indisputably better man that he plaintively envies. And in the days that follow it is still unlikely that we will see the victory that Trump keeps lauding himself for.
