larry johnson is looking for a neck brace while i'm wondering when the orange man is gonna have all the white roses painted red. i know, you thought i was gonna say, gold; 

 

I am going to start wearing a neck brace… Trump’s conflicting comments about the peace negotiations with Iran have given me whiplash. Today at a Cabinet meeting, President Trump asserted that Iran is “negotiating on fumes” and insisted that November’s midterm elections won’t make him rush into a deal to end the nearly three-month-old conflict.

He said that after opening the Cabinet meeting with the claim that a deal is near. Over the weekend, he had declared that his administration and Tehran had “largely negotiated” a settlement, but the negotiations remain in flux. Which is it? Flux, fumes or largely negotiated?

Trump expressed confidence that the US would soon reach an agreement to end the conflict, though he cautioned that his administration is not yet satisfied with the terms — and is willing to resume fighting if it can’t secure its demands.

The key area emanating fumes is the Strait of Hormuz… Trump said: “We’re going to watch over it. We’ll watch over it, but nobody’s going to control it. That’s part of the negotiation that we have.” Iran disagrees, with Iranian officials continuing to insist that management of the strait has nothing to do with the US and would be coordinated with Oman. Oh yeah, almost forgot, Trump also threatened to bomb Oman if it goes along with Iran in controlling traffic passing through the Strait of Hormuz.............more.........
