All he’s done is lie since he came down that escalator.

LOL. Add Russia, as my mole on the ground said that gossip there is that Iran told Russia and who then told Qatar. The world are the mugs in the audience to this shit show.

And I bet the price of petrol has gone up...

Whoopsie! Dropped it, slippery things these peace prizes. It was the shock of hearing from BBC news 9am that neither Iran or Israel are being obliging enough to stop trying to kill the other for the convenience of Bigly.

There are murmurings that it was Qatar who brokered the cease fire

MN, we need the laughing emoji asap!

Sorry, yes, thank you. I heard someone (I think an Iranian authority?) on LBC yesterday afternoon talking about the very same thing. Curiouser and curiouser.

Stop the world, I want to get off..

Good God! Pure comedy as Iran denies they have broken the ceasefire.

NBC’s White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor:

Meanwhile this amused me.

But in reading the comments sections of various social media posts where people were fighting about Leavitt, it became clear that conservative women find her embarrassing.

Fake news innit ?

Whose news is more fake ?

It's pretty standard in these types of negotiations to use diplomatic back channels so that you are not talking directly to the "other side", and also give you plausible deniability if it all goes Pete Tong.

As @JoshLymanSwagger can attest, the Swiss are usually very good at that sort of thing.

<first West Wing reference of the day to offer some light relief>

Ah. It's one of those ceasefires.

I went for a nap and woke up to discover the forever ceasefire didn’t last forever.

Giving Trump a peace prize for this would be like giving Putin the peace prize for withdrawing his troops from Ukraine.

It's not the '12 Day War' triumph as Trump wants to claim, is it?
What the 'action' has achieved so far.

I’m guessing it’s now the 13 day war. Boy is Trump going to be pissed when he wakes up.

I wonder how many eyes rolled

US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker on Iran strikes: “President Trump has shown real leadership…hopefully we’ll see the region calm…perhaps a generational moment where the Middle East is more stable than it’s been for a while.”

It may prove to be a generational moment for sure.

And passing messages thru the King of Jordan. 🤔

Yup. He’s pissed off. I think he’s just realised he’s been played by Israel. This keeps happening to him with Putin too.

One thing that is a stand out.

🍊🌮 is flying to the Hague.

At least he can familiarise himself with the route of the flight...

Generally a cease fire is between two countries who, y'know, agree to "stop" with the fighting.
Maybe the definition is different in his dictionary? Maybe it's something that, say, a third party tells other nations to do then they obey 🤷‍♀️
Can't see any problems with that.
Nope.

Ever the diplomat in his language 🤨

Well he’s sworn at them now so they should just fall into line.

President Trump on Israel and Iran: "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing."

But he's not wrong.
