I'm glad to hear news of the ceasefire, but the announcement is the most Untrumpian post I've read from his account

“Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

I’m surprised he’d even give credit to anyone for any ceasefire deal in the world let alone one he was personally involved with. Seems like very good news nevertheless. I’m just afraid of how Trump’s going to put himself at the front of the news cycle tomorrow, but I guess I have that fear everyday.

He went too far, and he's being kept away from real communication devices.

in the next few days that, for reasons of declining health and to spend more time with his family, he will be steppping down from the office of President effective immediately. He will not be the one making this speech.

I think that there was a meeting of the minds at the White House that will come to light in the interim, where he was told in no uncertain terms by either the military or by his cabinet that they would be moving forward with 25-4 proceedings, if Trump does not step down, and that he is effectively now under house arrest. I also think that key members of both the House and the Senate leadership have indicated that they will recommend impeachment and removal if he does not retire immediately.

I would not be at all surprised if there is a request by the UN to try him at the Hague for war crimes.
