In reply to the discussion: "Iran has not agreed to a ceasefire. Trump is lying again" (Headline from Tehran Times) [View all]vanessa_ca

The more you read about it, the worse it gets. He's totally deluded.
After his announcement, Trump told NBC that "It's a great day for America. It's a great day for the Middle East. I'm very happy to have been able to get the job done. A lot of people were dying and it was only going to get worse." When asked about the cease-fire's duration, he stated, "I think the cease-fire is unlimited. It's going to go forever," and expressed belief that the two sides would "never be shooting at each other again." He concluded that the war "would have brought the whole Middle East down."
