This was humiliation. No one in modern history has made America wait and beg for negotiations. This was the moment JD Vance should have returned to Washington. The Islamic regime did this on purpose. Trump, if you don't understand politics, you should at least understand protocol.
The visuals from Switzerland:
• The U.S. delegation entered well before the Iranians. In diplomacy, the side with leverage doesn't wait in the room. You claim to be leading and winning, yet you arrived first. First mistake.
• Ghalibaf did not enter while the press was inside. JD Vance did. Another mistake. It looked as though you didn't just abandon allies, including Israel, you also diminished America's image by ignoring basic diplomatic protocol.
• The Iranian foreign minister entered last and refused to shake hands. We didn't need photographs to tell us who looked confident and who looked desperate, but these images made it easy for the world to draw its own conclusions.
🚨 JUST IN: Trump responded to the president of Iran: "He should keep his mouth shut and get a grip—or we will take over the rest of the country." Also regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Trump threatened, "If the Iranians close it, they will have no country."
@Tim_Walz Gave away billions of our money to the worst group of immigrants in America because you’re a corrupt idiot. Tim Walz governorship in a nutshell.
Tesla has a massive opportunity with aging Boomers.
4 truths:
1) Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD) is much better (& safer) than most realize, and is light years ahead of competition
2) Oldest boomers are starting to turn 80
3) There’s a large period late in life when elderly aren’t the best drivers, but still have their license. This endangers themselves and others.
4) Having your keys taken and losing your independence *really* sucks
I showed my FIL Tesla FSD last week. He’s 78. He was blown away. Loves the idea of his car safely taking him around town.
He went from skeptical non-believer to likely buying one in about 30 mins.
If you have an elderly person in your life who you're worried about w driving, show them Tesla FSD.
The Islamic regime in Iran has just closed the Strait of Hormuz. They understand Hebrew, not Trumpism. Yes, Trump, they are bullying you and taking America's interests hostage. You were advised not to trust them, and you did.
Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State
“The source of every major problem in the Middle East is the Islamic regime in Iran.”
He knows the Ayatollahs clearly.
🚨 BREAKING: Sec. Marco Rubio just said what nobody else has the guts to say about Iran.
“We’re dealing with radical Shia clerics who make geopolitical decisions based on pure theology. No one has ever been able to do a successful deal with Iran.”
That is reality.
This is not some normal regime you negotiate with over coffee. These are ideological hardliners who see everything through a religious lens.
Rubio made it clear. If negotiations actually change, the whole world will see it.
No illusions. No fantasy diplomacy. Just facts.
Finally, grown adults back in charge of foreign policy.
Iran does what we all knew they would do, which is why they insisted on Lebanon’s inclusion. Their terror proxy Hezbollah in the south has violated every separate ceasefire by attacking northern Israel & when Israel defends itself Iran uses it as a pretext to close the strait.
@joekent16jan19 Hamas and Iran got us into this recent war when 46 Americans were killed and 12 Americans were taken hostage on October 7, 2023. Let’s be real.
Here's my position:
If someone wants to build in Florida, they pay.
Not retirees.
Not working families.
Not small businesses.
The people of Florida should never be forced to subsidize billion-dollar corporations.
⭕️ The Iranians were very smart to insist on including the Lebanon war in the MOU. They didn’t want to be accused of violating the MOU and stalling the talks, so now they have a built-in lever to manipulate the negotiations. Every time they want to delay or back off from the talks, they tell Hezbollah to attack. Israel must respond, and Iran will claim, “This is a violation of the MOU, and the US is responsible for it.” Meanwhile, they get to sell oil and make billions of dollars without giving anything in return. The fact that Vance didn’t see this coming is just further proof of how bad this deal is.
