Iran’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying no dialogue is taking place between the two sides and characterizing Trump’s announcement as part of efforts to lower energy prices and buy time for military planning.

    At first I thought Trump really fucked up. Unusual specificity in his threat.

    I already knew his followers would eat the shit right out of his ass, but it’s somehow getting even more pathetic.

    TACO means nothing to him. His followers just go with it every time.

      …It could just be market manipulation. I hear DOW jumped when he made the threat.

        Oh it’s definitely something like that. Trump may be dumb publicly, but he’s also blindly loyal to his own ego and wallet. He has a reason for this, whether it’s market manipulation or bribes, but he definitely has a reason that will serve him exclusively.
