Trump’s ‘Project Freedom’ is less an act of liberation and more of a high-stakes detour into a strategic dead end.

Over 2000 ships in Trumps conga line. Ain't that cute.

Is there some DoorDash Uber Eats restaurant ship out there? 🚢 🌯🥪🍔🍳🌭

I like my faux war for oil extortion well marinated and topped with condiments

It seems that Trump is either mentally disturbed or more interested in manipulating the stock market, than putting an end to this War! Because if the reason for this War is to destroy Iran's Nuclear capabilities, what in the "Sam Hell", is Trump and Hegseth waiting on! The Strait never closed 9 months ago when Trump and Hegseth lied and said that they had obliterated Iran's Nuclear capabilities. And here we are, doing the same damn thing! Is this Groundhog Day or just a terrible dream. The American people are suffering for no good reason, while the cost of this War, is bleeding Billions out of the American people! And the thing that is making matters worse, Trump is now begging Congress to squeeze another billion out of the American Taxpayers, for a damn Ballroom, when that same billion, could be used to cover Obama Care Subsidies for the millions of uninsured Americans, who are sick and dying without Healthcare coverage! INCREDIBLE!

Trump is going soft in the head. You CANNOT cut a deal with the Islamic lunatics running the country.

What’s more pathetic, these laughable claims, or the fact that these propaganda organizations are “reporting” on them. The shame these readers, oh I mean “reporters” must have 👎

I support the POTUS, but he's starting to remind me of Charlie Brown, and Iran is Lucy with the football. Gullible.

It should be called Project Freedumb…Wow, the ADHD flip flopping is a sight to behold. America has under Trump become both the laughingstock and 24-7 horror show of the world. Regime change is direly needed in the United States 🙏🏽☮️🌎

You shouldn’t have started this war if you wanted peace! This entire government is an embarrassment!

The man knows how to break things, he just doesn't have a clue how to fix anything. When you hire a draft dodger who can't run a casino and a tv host with a drinking problem to run things, what could possibly go wrong? They're playing him like a fiddle and the world is laughing. But what is scary, they are also watching and they now know how vulnerable we are. Do we have any missiles left for protection? Do you feel safer tonight? I know, lets build a ballroom and instead of the rich guys paying for it, WE get to pay for it and not 400,000, let's make it a BILLION!! That's the ticket, oh and while we're at it, how 'bout an arch? Now that will make America great again. Nobody needs gas or groceries. Sigh.................
