Trump went silent on Truth Social for 12 Hours. Silence just ended.
Lie of the Day
Truth Social: Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us. But don’t the Dumocrats, and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is MUCH tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate, when political hacks keep negatively “chirping,” at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster, or move slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever. Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end – It always does! President DJT

That post was 12 hours ago. An unusually long time without any posts on Truth Social.
The only additional post from Trump was short and sweet, also 12hours ago. “Has anyone ever seen a happy Dumocrat??? President DJT“
Trump Is OK With Silence
Blockade Is a Piece of Steel
“I think we’ve been talking too much if you want to know the truth. I think going silent would be very good, and that could be that could be for a long time.”
“It doesn’t mean we’re going to go and start dropping bombs all over there.”
“We’ll just go silent. We’ll keep the blockade. Blockade is a piece of steel.”
Those comments were made to NBC.
Four More New Notes
1) Trump is going silent on Iran 2) blockade is a piece of steel, 3) threat of bombing Iran back to the stone are is off the table, and 4) threats of “dropping bombs all over there” may be off the table.
While writing this post I typed “I wonder how long note 1 lasts.”
I did not get to finish the post. Silence is now broken.
Productive Call with Netanyahu and Hezbollah
Truth Social: I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back. Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.

Trump went just over 12 hours without posting on Truth Social, He now claims to have a productive talk with Netanyahu and Hezbollah.
Does anyone believe either?
Trump Is Bored
I Really Don’t Care
It’s been obvious for years Trump does not care about anything or anyone for years, except himself.
Understood in correct context, that is a rare statement of fact by Trump.
But Trump does care when it impacts him personally. Thus this rebuttal.
“I honestly don’t care if they’re over. I really don’t care,” he told CNBC, with the serene detachment of a man who definitely cares so much he can barely breathe.
This is, of course, the political equivalent of texting your ex at 2 AM to let them know you’ve completely moved on.
We know the pattern. Trump doesn’t care about NATO, right up until he’s shrieking about burden-sharing at 6 AM. He doesn’t care about the stock market, precisely until it drops forty points and he starts personally calling TV hosts. He doesn’t care about his poll numbers while obsessively reading his poll numbers. The man is constitutionally incapable of not caring, yet here he is, caring so little about Iran that he felt compelled to announce it on national television.
And Now This Unbelievable Lie
Truth Social: Talks are continuing, at a rapid pace, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The man who says he doesn’t care and “We’ll just go silent. We’ll keep the blockade. Blockade is a piece of steel,” cannot shut up for two more hours.
Five Things Are Clear
- Trump is terrified
- Trump cannot control Israel
- Israel does not want a deal and seeks to wreck it
- Trump keeps making a fool out of himself with announcements of pending deals that are so one-sided Iran mocks them.
- Trump is now caught in his own lie, and a recent one about Iran being desperate.
What Is Trump Terrified About?
- US escalation
- Iran escalation
- Israel escalation
- Price of oil
- Midterm elections
- Polls
- Inflation
- Impeachment
- Epstein
- The ballroom
- Kennedy Center
- Reflecting pool
- Triumphal Arch
- His legacy
I am sure that’s incomplete. Add items at will.
Options Considered
Trump still has the same three options he has had since the ceasefire started on April 7 2026.
- Military Escalation
- Wait Iran Out
- Agree to a Deal Acceptable to Iran
Netanyahu and warmongers like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham want trump to escalate, but it is Iran that holds escalation cards.
Iran has already proven it is willing to go after the regions desalinization plants. A big successful strike on Saudi Arabia would mean evacuation of the entire country.
Agree to a Deal Acceptable to Iran
When you throw away every option that doesn’t work, you are left with options that will work.
That is option three, no matter how distasteful.
