Some of the things Trump said in the last 48 hours:
- Hamas is behaving very well these days.
- Iran should have missiles. Why not?
- We're going to unfreeze Iran's money. It's their money. Why should we steal their money?
- If the war kept going there would have been an economic catastrophe. So we had to end it.
- Some of the guys in the Islamic regime are really nice.
- If Iran didn't open the Strait of Hormuz our oil reserves would have run out in 4 weeks. We had to make a deal.
- Netanyahu is crazy. They keep killing innocent civilians. He needs to be more responsible.
- Without me and America, Israel wouldn't exist.

A pack of cops arresting a kid saying “I need to get to school so I can take my tests” for trying to cut through the parade route that has frozen lower Manhattan (but students don’t get a day off).
Shitshow.
