Donald Trump had a complete meltdown at 11 p.

The USA is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran at levels of military terror, strength and power, not seen since World War II pretty odd to refer to America's involvement in World War II as military terror.

Very strange way to refer to the United States military other than to make a pretty stunning admission to say that it is involved in terror, but that's what Donald Trump refers to our military as pirates engaged in terror.

Then Donald Trump says despite this, despite the terror, despite this although let me be very clear, under Donald Trump he has used the military to inflict terror and war crimes and he is a terrorist, so I'll be clear about that, maybe he's being honest at least for once there.

Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran and other Middle Eastern countries to hold off on any attack in that the perimeter of a deal has been agreed to.

Folks, we're not even in framework territory anymore. The perimeter's, the perimeter's of a deal I've been agreed to. This would include the immediate complete and total opening of the Hormuz straight pulse. You said it was already open, so what are these parameters going to do, Donald, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat? You mean what they agreed to in Obama's JCPOA? Go on, Trump says based on this request, I have agreed for the future benefit of the world, world is in all caps and likewise, their survival of a successful and prosperous Iran to cancel the attack.

Project to being able to rapidly make a deal. The country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Israel joins him. Netanyahu, the war criminal, the genocidal maniac, joining another genocidal maniac of terror, get to work everybody and get it done. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. Now, on Trump's social media platform, truth social, they have now formally rolled out their plan where Wall Street can buy early access to posts like this for $100,000 in order to take advantage of the market manipulation.

Remember, the idea was being floated to do that will now it's official and I wonder how many Wall Street firms took advantage of that for the, uh, for certain types of markets and then after Donald Trump posts this, that we were going to inflict military terror, but now the parameters of a deal everybody. So after Donald Trump said that, where are we at right now? Donald Trump posts the following a photo of himself or a video of Dana White, holy crap Donald Trump posts, holy crap, Dana White says it best. Trump is the ultimate American badass.

That's what Trump is posting. Then he posted AI image of himself kissing Jesus on a cross. Yeah, he is a real sicko after posting about the military terror he wants to inflict.

He then posts himself. Crick kissing Jesus on a cross, really a sicko. He posts an AI image of himself in the revolutionary war, a random photo of himself at either his criminal trial. I think this is him and his criminal trial saying only Trump. That was the post only Trump. He posts a bizarre image of an AI manipulated image of Bruce Springsteen and he writes, "What happened to Bruce Springsteen?" Then he posts a photo of himself and says, "President Trump ages in reverse as his health is obviously collapsing." He posts a photo of himself walking next to an AI alien. He posts threats at Greenland. He's doing that again. No military terror at the moment with Iran Donald Trump says, because we've done the parameters of a deal.

But hello Greenland, Donald Trump's going to take your sovereignty, this weird picture of himself, lurching over mountains and what purports would he claims as Greenland, I guess?

And he says, "Hello Greenland, as he wants to take it over, a weird AI image of himself as Elvis, then a photo of himself inspecting the columns at the White House.

"President Trump is fixing our wonderful White House just like he is fixing our country. It's in his DNA. It's like a real psycho."

I got a real psycho scumbag, right?

What are you even talking about? It's an AI image of what he wants the arch to be. Then he does this weird image of the United States flag in Venezuela and calls Venezuela.

In Venezuela, the 51st state, right now I mean Venezuela suffering right now after these two earthquakes.

Kelsey Rodriguez from the Maduro regime is still in charge, Donald Trump has stolen $13 billion from Venezuela.

The people of Venezuela are suffering. The people aren't getting rich in Venezuela. But now Donald Trump has moved on to Greenland and Venezuela after threatening to blow the effing S out of Iran.

These are all posts. He's made dozens of posts like that. I'm not going to show you all of them. You get the point about what a psycho he is, but that's what he's posting.

Let's talk about the real story of what went down. Earlier yesterday, Iran was able to strike hard in Kuwait, striking areas where the United States has its high Mars and other equipment.

Iran struck hard yesterday in the straight of Hormuz, two more tankers were hit trying to use that US route by Oman. Iran struck hard in Erbil, Iraq and then because the Houthis part of the access of resistance with Iran, the Houthis have shut down effectively. The Bob Bell Mondob straight for Saudi Arabian tankers. The Saudi tankers now have to use a route that will add two to three weeks for the tankers to travel because they can't get through Bob Bell Mondob.

The Saudi Crown Prince MBS spoke with Donald Trump earlier yesterday. That's after he sent his brother, Prince Khalid bin Salman on Wednesday, because Netanyahu wasn't leaving the United States.

Netanyahu was just like remaining there and like staying around Donald and hegsith in Rubio because Netanyahu wanted the United States to escalate and to hit all of the power plants, million power plants and bridges and other civilian infrastructure in Iran. So MBS then had to send his brother who's the defense secretary in Saudi Arabia to go and meet with Donald Trump and to meet with JD Vance and others because Netanyahu wasn't leaving. So they had to send his brother Khalid bin Salman and then yesterday MBS was like, "What the effort are you doing? You are not going to strike Iran.

Iran's prepared to blow up our infrastructure and Qatar and it's going to cause global catastrophe. You know all those quid pro quo deals we do together. You know how we gave money to Kush to what the hell are you doing?

What the hell are you doing? You're going to get everybody even deeper into world worth three right now. Don't you dare do it?" So that was one of the influential factors that had Donald Trump surrendering. You then had Iran's foreign minister, Iran Chi. He spoke with the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia as well. And the Turkish foreign minister and the Pakistani foreign minister. And here's what Iran Chi said when he spoke with Saudi foreign minister, Faisal bin Farhan, Pakistani foreign minister and he also spoke with the Qatari foreign minister.

And this is what Iran Chi said. Any aggression by the United States will be met with the decisive response. Any active aggression or hostile action by the US and the Zionist regime, Israel or the participation and cooperation of countries in the region will be met with a decisive and appropriate response from our powerful armed forces. The more and that regional governments assisting any US or Israeli attack would be treated as participants and that their infrastructure would be destroyed. That Iran was locked and loaded. Iran's foreign minister, Iraq Chi, said the following to Pakistan's armies, chief field marshal, Munir, he said, any US military attack will be met with the harshest of harsh responses.

Iran will respond decisively. And it should also be no New York Times reporting. Iran previously used the ceasefire to coordinate with proxy groups, including his Bola, the Houthis, Iraqi militias on a plan to escalate if the US resumes strikes, the strategy aims to raise the costs of war for Trump by targeting US allies disrupting oil supplies and shipping and increasing regional instability. Recently, recent attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure by the Houthis shipping near the Suez Canal shutting down the Babel Mondab straight.

Other areas hosting US forces are presented as part of this coordinated campa...

The US has also run out of its pack three Patriot interceptors. It's run out of its thad interceptors. It's also run out of the appropriate amount of navy destroyers in the region.

And the navy destroyers have anti-belistics. The US has run out of those as well.

And Iran's strike in hard Iran hit quite recently, as I said, here's the map of all of the bases that Iran's been able to hit from July 9th through July 24, including Milafiq's salty base in Jordan, which resulted in three service members being killed. I mean, Iran has obliterated these US military bases in the region. And in the US strikes, Iran has hit the US bases. The US dropped a 2,000 pound bomb in Kesheb Island on a home killing three Iranians, including a little, a little child.

New York Times confirmed the report that, yes, Trump is bombing homes and committing more war crimes in the area as well.

Let me read for you this scathing scathing report in the New York Times from some top people in the region. This is what the report was called.

Iran, the US appears headed for a strategic defeat allies fear with none of Trump's aims accomplish in the straightive removes clothes US allies see dysfunction and vulnerability from the war. We're a former director of the Chatham House. That's like an independent think pit thing tank in the UK on defense issues called the Iran war, a strategic loss and an embarrassment adding for US allies and those who rely on the US for security. This is confirmation that you can't trust the United States. He continued, people won't forget that their security and their future were dragged into question by an unpredictable and wavering US foreign policy.

Ali Viaz, the Iran Project Director for the International Crisis Group said quote, "This is the crisis of credibility of the US." Neither its military prowess nor its diplomatic promises can ever be trusted. Iran, David Miller, a former American negotiator now a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International peace said the conflict has undermined US deterrence and credibility and antagonized America's allies and delighted its adversaries.
