I think he also could win an award for declaring victory so many times while losing.

Then I hope the midterm elections are a great "victory" for him!

 

[Govi]

So much winning!

Maybe the new plan is to get in the Guinnes Book of records for that.

ANYTHING to be remebered as not a pedophile shit bag.

Iran is planning to return the favor of killing its head of state back to the sender.

I'm intrigued by the orders he's supposedly left directing the US military to commit what amount to multiple war crimes against Iran in the event of a successful attempt on his life.

Such orders, after all, will be in no way binding upon the US military or the incoming president and CiC Vance, after all.

He's planning on reincarnating immediately and taking the presidency back. So get prepared for President Trumpetfish.

Secretary Hogshead can order a lot of war crimes in the confusion around a transition. And he has been sacking the kind of officer who would question those orders.

It turns out that in the past years Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was recruited by Israel's Mossad as new head of state for Iran.

The plan was as follows:
1. grooming Ahmadinejad, who was a traditionally anti-Israel hardlinder, as an asset. The goal was to topple the current regime and install him as new leader.
2. his motivation: power. After being disqualified running for president 3 times he sought it through foreign intervention. He envisioned himself becoming a reformer like Boris Yeltsin and planned to normalize relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords.
3. financial and logistics support: Israel funded his housing and travel expenses, and high-level meetings occured abroad, including a personal meeting with the Mossad chief David Barnea.

A journey to Budapest was used as intelligence front. Officially he attended climate change and public service conferences. In reality he talked there with Mossad.

He abandoned his signature windbraker and started wearing tailored suits. He grommed his beard, got botox treatments and began learning English.

The plan was to rescue him from Tehran and take him to a domestic safe house. It seems he than was disiillusioned with the frantic rescue attempt and left the safe house under unclear circumstances.
According to high ranking Iranian officials he's now under house arrest after his ties to Israel were uncovered.

Trump says no one should be able to charge a fee for the Strait of Hormuz

WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump ‌on Tuesday said he did not think anybody should be able to charge a fee for ships ⁠transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

"I don't think anybody should be able to charge a fee," said Trump, who on Monday had proposed United States would charge ‌a ⁠20% transit fee.

Trump drops 20% fee plan for Hormuz Strait in favor of deals with Gulf states

"Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States," he said in a post on Truth Social.

Trump did not mention any commitments by Gulf states, saying "Investments will be MASSIVE but, ‌at ⁠the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future."

Of course Trump will try to charge protection money for that, since he behaves like a mafia godfather.

Trump gets angry when someone else grifts better than he does. He expects his cut of the action.

Two US service members were killed and one remains missing after Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks in Jordan on Friday, military officials said.

The US Central Command (Centcom) said four US service members were medically evacuated to Jordan hospitals but have since been discharged. Others who had minor injuries have returned to duty.

US military officials did not disclose the identities of those killed, nor provide details about the circumstances or location of the incident.
