To those of you who were panicking over the MOU: you weren’t paying attention.
The MOU was never the real goal, it was built to fail. President Trump had already clearly stated his true objective on his birthday in that New York Times interview (see 👇 ). He said that if the regime remains in power and cannot be changed, the United States will become the guardian of the Gulf, and America will take 20% of the revenue. That was the main play all along.
He didn’t need the MOU to succeed. He needed the regime to make enough trouble and expose itself so he could build an undeniable case, to the Gulf countries, to the American people, and to the world, that stronger measures were necessary. The MOU was simply the tool to show everyone that the regime is unwilling to cooperate.
This is a very long-term, genius strategy, and as an Iranian I truly appreciate what @POTUS is doing here.
For decades, the Gulf countries have benefited massively from a destabilized and entangled Iran. They have added fuel to the perpetual Palestinian conflict, knowing the regime would fight their proxy wars for them.
On the surface they opposed the regime, but behind the scenes they did everything possible to keep it alive, because a strong, unified behind @PahlaviReza, post-regime Iran would quickly become a serious economic and regional competitor.
As long as Iran remained weak, they paid almost no price: the U.S. and Israel took care of security, while they enjoyed the benefits of higher oil prices and no real rival.
Trump is now changing the equation.
By making them pay for the security of the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, he is tying their financial interests directly to regional stability. Playing double games and sabotaging Iran’s future will suddenly become very expensive, 20% of their revenue expensive.
This is especially critical for the “day after” the regime falls. Even if the Islamic Republic collapses (which seems unstoppable) the Gulf states would normally try to sabotage the new Iran: funding separatist and terrorist groups like MEK, running smear campaigns against Prince @PahlaviReza , and keeping the country weak and unstable. They have already started this.
Trump’s plan makes sure they have a strong incentive not to do that. Once their own money is on the line, they will be far more likely to support peace and development instead of chaos.
So if you were stressed about the MOU, relax. Look at the bigger picture. Trump is playing the long game, not just for today, but for a stable and prosperous Iran tomorrow.
Keep calm, Donald Trump knows what he is doing.
What I don’t understand about mainstream Dems who live in Blue States like NYS is their insane their obsession with all things Trump. It would be one thing if they lived safely in a Red State and didn’t like his BS and crony capitalism. But they live in places like NYC or LA and their most immediate problems are so existential: A Democratic Party where the establishment caved to the far left so much it has been taken over by them. Now you got leadership advocating full on open borders, tax increases, DEI, Jew hating, defunding police. Good going
What the left doesn’t seem to understand that Trump does, is that millions of Americans love shit like this. He’s not pandering to the elite, he’s acknowledging the blue collar, hard working, dirt biking, UFC watching, forgotten men and women who make up the majority of this country.
Drive 30 miles outside of any deep blue shithole city in America and you could throw a rock in any direction at someone who watches motocross.
Trump isn’t putting on America 250 for people who go to the fuckin opera, he’s putting on America 250 for the working class.
Such a BEAUTIFUL moment between Pete Hegseth and this WWII Hero Veteran. Mainstream Media will never show you this
This is why I fought hard for Pete Hegseth
The Carroll case rested on a sequence of legal maneuvers with no precedent in American civil litigation. Democratic legislators passed a retroactive temporary law eliminating the statute of limitations for decades-old accusations that could not be dated, located, or defended with alibis. The day the temporary law took effect, Carroll filed her pre-prepared lawsuit, the first in the state to do so.
A Democratic mega-donor secretly funded the plaintiff’s legal costs through a nonprofit. The arrangement stayed hidden until one of Trump’s lawyers discovered it. A Clinton-appointed judge then sealed all records so the jury never learned the billionaire backer had publicly committed to Trump’s political destruction. Every participant in the legislative, funding, and judicial steps operated inside the same political network, and each decision produced the same cumulative result.
The jury explicitly checked “no” on the verdict form’s specific rape question. The judge ruled rape proven anyway, claiming the jury had used a common rather than statutory definition… an impossibility, since their rejection under the common definition precludes rape by any standard. Trump’s team was barred from arguing innocence before a second jury, which awarded $83.3 million ($65 million punitive) on the rape finding the first jury had rejected.
A defendant was sued for defamation over denying an accusation, prevented from asserting that denial as a defense, tried before a judge who concealed the plaintiff’s political funding, and hit with a nine-figure verdict built on facts the jury itself refused to find.
No comparable sequence exists in recorded U.S. civil litigation history.
DHS response to Sherrill: “We did not cave to the Governor’s demands. Visitation was suspended because the violent riots outside the facility made it unsafe for our officers, detainee’s families and lawyers to visit the facility.
“With Delaney Hall secure, ICE operations continue as normal. To be clear: Visitation was only suspended because of violent riots. Now that we have a secure perimeter, visitation can resume.”
