The words "bovine ordure" come to mind, but who knows with the market-manipulating mobster?

Otherwise - bridge for sale, going cheap.

Very likely because Trump is a bad dealmaker.

It's so difficult to say because, on the one hand, Trump and his team are so utterly useless that one assumes they'll get tucked up like a kipper, on the other the Iranian regime are also Grade A bullshitters. All we can be sure of is, regardless of what the deal says, both sides will claim victory.

Won't somebody think of the Berliners?

We are trying to book a flight to Kalkutta and would dearly love to avail ourselves of the non-kinetic routing options.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Kennedy Center was running out of options Friday evening to keep President Donald Trump’s name on the facade of the iconic performing arts venue.

A judge earlier in the afternoon rejected a request to pause a court-ordered deadline of Friday to remove references to Trump from the building and other aspects of the Kennedy Center’s operations. The institution appealed that ruling, an effort that was also rebuffed Friday evening.

Scaffolding was erected earlier in the day around a section of the building that includes Trump’s name, though there was no effort to remove it by 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Storms with lightning were dancing around Washington, adding to the challenge for workers.

After ignoring the Kennedy Center for much of his first term, Trump has wielded tremendous influence over the venue during his return to office. Just a month into his second term, he ousted the center’s previous leadership and replaced it with a board of trustees that named him chairman. Trump’s name was quickly added to the building.

There's been a lot of AI-generated videos of Trump's name being removed from the building.

That scaffolding looks... dubious?

Donald Trump has not done Britain many favours of late. But when he rounded on Oman late last month, threatening military action after claims that Muscat was helping Iran turn the Strait of Hormuz into a tollbooth, he may inadvertently have helped secure the future of Britain’s most important Arab relationship...

...he declared that “Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up”...

...Quite why Mr Trump would turn against a pivotal ally that has been a friend of the United States for nearly two centuries remains the subject of conjecture...

Because he's a stupid, unintelligent, narcissistic fuckwit who thinks the entire world should do what he says, with a Hitler-style attitude to third-countries neutrality.

Edit to add

I forgot to mention that, like so many of his fellow Americans, he's also a supremely arrogant and ignorant cunt.

Fearless journalism in a neutered media ecosystem

He'll be right at home.

Deal done, a deal that is incredibly favourable to Iran and leaves them stronger than before. Well fucking done.

Unless he fucks it up in the four days to Friday.

Erm, where's Israel in all this? Are they on board with it? My understanding is that they have not yet agreed to halt their operations in Lebanon which one of the Iranian conditions.

Israel will do what the fuck it likes - as ever.

This may not end well for Israel if it's seen to be prolonging inflation in the US. But they're not that stupid. Probably will bomb a bit more then stop.

So it's cost him 300 billion (at least) and all he got was Iran saying they would't make a nuclear bomb, an agreement they already had.

He should have read that book someone stuck his name on.

He's going to blame JD Vance for it. "He signed a deal like I never told him to" etc.

Did I hear him slag Obama off at the G7 yesterday?

Correction - it's cost the US taxpayer $300bn.

Given how many people were coining it on the stock market whilst this debacle was going on I wouldn't be terribly surprised if he or his clan wasn't getting in on the action.

Probably. He slagged him and Hilary Clinton off in front of the Boy Scouts.
