Schumer: This is not the art of the deal. This is the art of surrender. Trump didn’t get peace through strength; he got payoff through weakness.

Americans got almost nothing we wanted and needed, and Trump gave away the store. The Iranians took him to the cleaners. Look what they’re getting.

They got more control of the Strait. They’re getting a $300 billion payoff. We Democrats are not going to vote for it. No one should vote for it. This money should be used at home, where it’s needed to reduce people’s costs, not as a payoff to the Iranians.

The Iranians still have their missiles. Oil prices and gas prices will stay higher for a long time. Basically, Iran got just about everything it wanted, and we got nothing.

So the bottom line is that this is a fiasco. It’s a disaster. Trump proved himself to be a terrible negotiator, and it’s obvious why. He never knew why he entered the war to begin with. He never told the American people. He never told the world.

And it’s probably because he was worried about the Epstein files and his bad record on health care and costs. He wanted to divert attention, but he had no aim, no goals, and as a result, America and the world suffered from one of the worst deals that Trump has ever put together—one of the worst deals that we’ve ever seen in United States foreign policy.

Everything ought to be made public. Secret side deals—knowing Trump—are probably even worse than what he’s made public already.

It is so bad that even Republicans who cringe and knock their knees before criticizing Trump have no choice but to say what a bad deal this is.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Trump told Maggie and Jonathan that a "historian" had written that Trump had more power than Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao, and Hitler.

The "historian" turned out to be a golf caddy.

25th Amendment, anyone?

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump is claiming there is no $300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S…

These are his handwritten initials. He should read his own memo of understanding.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

“Trump's administration has redirected $352m in federal funds toward the president's ballroom project…The law stipulates the money may only be spent on Secret Service personnel, training facilities, technology and related costs, not construction.”

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Lawrence: How surprised were you to see the WaPo reporting that Trump KNEW taxpayer money was going into his ballroom while he was saying it wasn’t? 

Sen Whitehouse: “…we absolutely knew that taxpayer money was going to end up pursued for his gilded ballroom, but to figure out as the reporters did, that he actually KNEW this, at the time that he was saying no taxpayer dollars…this lines up with I negotiated a great deal with Iran, I didn’t do the birthday card to Jeffrey #Epstein, and no taxpayer dollars to the ballroom as three pretty CLASSIC LIES in just the last couple of weeks.” 😂😳

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Q: On Monday we were told the Iran deal will be published in 48 hours. Trump then said after Friday. Then it ended up being read out on a briefing call yesterday. We were told that it had been signed electronically on Sunday. There's going to be a signing ceremony on Friday, and then it was signed at Versailles last night. Is what's going on behind the scenes as chaotic as your public messaging?

Vance: Well, I don't think our public messaging has been chaotic.

[陈剑Jason @jason_chen998]

卧槽好家伙太炸裂了，伊朗总统直接在推特上公布了美伊双方完成签名的正式版伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录，美国这大输特输了...在协议里明确两个国家尊重彼此的主权，这意味着美国承认伊朗政权的合法性，不再以颠覆伊朗政权为目标，其次美国还承诺从伊朗周边地区撤军，美国中东军事力量的部署要被削弱了，以及美国承诺会解除对伊朗的制裁，并且把解冻被扣押的资金，如果说这些让步全部都是政治失利，这里面最炸裂的是美国和其中东盟友将会给伊朗提供至少3000亿美金的重建援助，这是什么概念？李鸿章当年签署的辛丑条约赔款4.5亿两白银，放在现在也就380亿美金...也就是相当于，特朗普你签了10个辛丑条约？

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Holy shit. After being 50 minutes late, Trump literally RUNS AWAY from the media to avoid answering questions about his surrender deal with Iran.

This is a man who knows he lost. What a coward.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

I’m calling it. The way they sold this to Trump is to give him a kickback of the $300 billion. Jared will fly in to play SimCity with Iran like he did with Gaza in 3… 2…

REPORTER: "Who exactly is funding that $300 billion dollars?"

JD VANCE: Oh, I see. So, so, just thing about this is there is a great desire from the Arab world and from outside the Arab world to actually get involved in Iran if they behave properly. So for example, let's say the United Arab Emirates who've been a great ally over the last, not just a few months, but over the last many years, let's say that they would like to invest in building a power plant. That actually is impossible right now because of the way that U.S. sanctions work. And so what we're saying is that if you behave and if the Emiratis themselves want to build a power plant, then we will do the sanctions relief necessary to make that possible. The good thing about that is that it actually creates integration, which is leverage. A world where the Gulf Coast Coalition has greater leverage into the Iranian economy is a world where the Iranians are going to be heavily prevented from misbehaving. So it's a lot of the Gulf Coast Coalition again. They see that Iran is weakened. They see there's an opportunity to build a new relationship there. And they're saying if they behave and if the United States is willing to allow this to happen, then absolutely we want to change our relationship with Iran.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨CRINGE: JD Vance says he has experience dealing with hostile negotiations because he interacted with “Joy Behar on The View.”

Not a SINGLE person in the room laughed at his joke.

The Vice President of the United States should focus on how they LOST A WAR. This is shameful.

[Kenny BooYah! 🖖🏾 @KwikWarren]

Lawrence mocked “grim faced” Rubio as he watched trump’s stupidity sink his presidential hopes: “trump&Rubio have spent years lying about Obama’s deal w/Iran. Now they’ve proved two things—how strong the Obama deal was&what relentlessly incompetent losers Rubio&trump really are.”

Q: When it comes to highly enriched uranium, what's been secured on how they'll get rid of the stockpile. Are any of the gentlemen's agreements written down?

Vance: Some are

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Q: What's stopping Iran from down the road rebuilding and restarting their nuclear program?

JD VANCE: First of all, they would have to get a lot of money in order to rebuild their nuclear program

(The MOU gives Iran a lot of money!)

[Former Republican 🇺🇸 @Sjacobs2020]

Trump just posted a delusional letter.

I've said for a while that Trump wants to have a legacy like Alexander the Great, Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin and Mao.

That's exactly what this letter says... he's "the most powerful man that the planet has ever known."

Cuckoo stuff.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Reporters attempted to get President Trump to clarify remarks he made earlier in the day on Wednesday which appeared to support Iran’s ballistic missile program, to which he responded: “I’m saying that if other countries have them, it’s a little bit unfair for them [Iran] not to have some. A ballistic missile is not the same thing as what we’re talking about, when we talk nuclear. But if Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and they all have some, I would say, in relative proportion, I think it's okay.”

[Tom Joseph @TomJChicago]

Trump continues his recent string of homoerotic comments as dementia removes his inhibitions and his fascination with male anatomy comes out.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Jimmy Kimmel on Iran:

We killed the Ayatollah, replaced him with a younger, more radical Ayatollah.

We did nothing for the protesters in Iran. We removed the sanctions that were on Iran before the war started.

We got a ceasefire that we already had before this. We opened the strait, which was already open before this.

We used up who knows how many billions of dollars on bombs and missiles. Many American and civilian lives were lost.

We gave Iran full control of the Strait of Hormuz and we threw in a minimum of 300 billion dollars, because why not?

Right now, Melania is wondering, how do I get a deal like that?

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

BREAKING: A shocking new Guardian investigation discovers that Trump and Hegseth murdered EIGHT CHILDREN and four adults, including a pregnant woman, in an airstrike on a school and homes in Somalia…and NEVER told the public!

What ELSE aren’t they telling us?

Shortly after 9am on 15 November 2025, the town of Jamaame in south Somalia was pummeled with a series of explosions. Missiles, almost certainly fired from American MQ-9 Reaper drones, destroyed a school and several homes.

“All my children were lying on the ground covered in blood. When I tried to tend to them, shells began falling everywhere. Every direction you turned, there were shells and missiles raining everywhere,” said Marian Haji Abdi Guled.

A farmer, Abdullahi Mohamed Abo Sheikh Ali, returned home in shock to find his children murdered. His grandfather recounted to the Guardian how “clothes and books were scattered on the ground, but I couldn’t focus on them. I was in shock, standing before the bodies of my grandchildren. They were ripped to pieces.”

Mohamed is tortured by the memory of having to find the pieces of his torn-apart grandchildren. They were too slippery, he says, and kept sliding from his grasp. “There was no place to grip because they were ripped to pieces.”

“The Americans bombed us,” said Abdullahi. “Children, women and elders were bombed. They spared nothing.”

The strike killed Abullahi's heavily pregnant daughter-in-law Safiyo Hassan Abukar, her ten-year-old daughter Abdifatah, seven-year-old Abdinasir, six-year-old Hussein, and four-year-old Abdurahman.

Mohamed Hassan Abdulle found his home flattened and the mangled bodies of his 26-year-old wife, Farhiyo Hassan Nuur, and daughter, 10-month-old Layla Mohamed Hassan.

He stood beside his destroyed home, the entire neighbourhood ablaze. “I couldn’t even find anyone to help carry the bodies of my wife and daughter,” he says.

Gedow Ibrahim received a call from his wife, terrified about the circling drones. He raced home. His daughters, Maryan, nine, and Farhiyo, seven, were dead.

“I saw the lifeless bodies of my children. One of them had their left arm torn off. The other one had shrapnel in their back, which came out of their chest.”

Mohamed says at least 18 homes were destroyed. The school was reduced to a shell. Guled counted nine strikes in the Burburka neighbourhood alone.

Locals say that the al-Shabaab terror group has no presence in the town, which raises huge questions about why and how this quiet village of livestock herders was selected to be massacred, why the presence of children playing in the street didn’t deter the strikes, or why they kept firing after the first homes were hit.

The Trump administration has refused to comment on anything. When the White House was approached for a response to the Jamaame strikes, the deputy press secretary Anna Kelly asked if the Guardian would also focus on “fraud committed by Somalis in the United States?”

Between these strikes in Somalia and the massacre of sailors in the Caribbean, it is clear that the Trump administration is simply killing for the sake of killing.

This is the consequence of building the world’s most sophisticated murder machine – the people in charge of pressing the buttons won’t always be responsible or empathetic.

Sometimes, they will be murderous, racist psychopaths like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

They must be held accountable after all this is over. These crimes are beyond horrific.
