Trump’s losing more of his wars—against the Reflecting Pool algae, against Iran, against sanity. What does it foretell?

So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
These are pathetic.
"'Under immense public pressure, the administration would subsequently take a different course of action.'
Public pressure matters. Minneapolis was key.
All honor to the people of Minneapolis, who stood up against Trump and his goons, and for this country."

Iran: “Hey, we’d like to sell our oil, no sanctions, ASAP.”
Trump administration: “Okey dokey! We’re capitalists too! Anything we can do to help? Perhaps take a cut…”
Iran: “Nah, we’re good.”
Trump: “Hey, what’s up with the nukes?”
Iran: “Workin’ on it. Later, man…”

“All honor to the people of Minneapolis, who, with the Trump administration at the height of its power and presumption, stood up against Trump and his army of goons, and who stood with their neighbors, for our country, and in defense of its principles.”

"Trump’s claims that the White House ballroom would go up with zero taxpayer spending were a total lie...Tens of millions of public funds have already gone into the project, [and] internal cost estimates have been significantly higher than officials acknowledged."

"So Iran comes out a winner. But Iran’s victory isn’t the most important outcome of Trump’s foolish war. The most important outcome is our defeat." - @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social

Trump’s weak, sad, and embarrassing weekend—from a peace deal that strengthens Iran and pays billions to the regime, to a beyond parody WH cage fight. By contrast, a better America was celebrating the Knicks and enjoying the World Cup—there is hope!

"Iran...I gotta get out of there. But I can’t look weak. Gotta declare victory. Can’t look like I’m a loser...Venezuela was so great. But then this! I can’t believe I let Hegseth talk me into it. Gonna get rid of him."
