- “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire,” President Donald Trump said Friday.
- The president has been steadfast in pursuing a new deal over Iran’s nuclear program since returning to the White House earlier this year.
- Markets are currently watching whether the rekindled hostilities between Iran and Israel will spill into the broader Middle East.

THE ART OF THE MISDIRECT
“…know some people are so broken they will never be able to muster a compliment for Trump, but the level of misdirection and coordination with Israel on this Iran attack was brilliant. Trump used his public platforms to lull Iran into complacency while privately coordinating with Israel. Trump and Netanyahu went so far as to meet privately this week to finalize things while publicly both leaking that Trump was urging restraint.
The problem here for the press corps is that so many of them hate Trump so much, they cannot nuance the cleverness of this. They must either approach it as Trump is a failure who even Israel does not respect or Trump is a liar who lied to everyone to get Iran.
The reality is everyone honest knows Iran has always been the liar, claiming it had no nuclear ambitions even as it plotted a bomb. The Obama/Biden policies helped Iran, which embedded agents within the Biden Administration. And Trump has turned the tables on it all, including probably taking advantage of Iran’s embedded agents to amplify his misdirection.
And now Iran has been set back significantly and the world is safer today.
But scream about Orange Man Bad if you must. The press corps that does not deal with the truth of what happened is just going to further discredit itself. They couldn’t detect Biden’s decline and cannot accept Trump’s calculated misdirection…”
