What? No threats, just demands? My goodness, is this feeble.
Trump Not Even Issuing Idle Threats Anymore
Truth Social: I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings! But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat. Additionally, compensation should be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years, not to mention the 52,000 that have been killed in the last five months. I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Follow-Up Demand
Also, with respect to the Iran negotiations, Iran should be responsible for the damages and death caused to the people of Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump Has No Cards
These are the demands of a man with no cards.
The US public is overwhelmingly against the war, the US is out of missiles, the Mideast countries except Israel are all against escalation, and Trump fears midterm elections.
Ironic Demand
The one top demand by Trump is amusingly ironic: “THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
Obama had a deal that ensured that. Trump had that agreement with Iran on nuclear weapons before he started this stupid war, and the MOU agreed to that as well.
So now, after threatening to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, Trump on numerous occasions, given Iran 10 last chances, and declaring victory dozens of times, is suddenly issuing feeble demands.
What a hoot.
