(26 posts)Today, accepting it as a "basis" for negotiations comes off as a desperate temporary off-ramp, because honestly, Iran's terms are completely at odds with all the crap Trump has been spouting. I don't think there is any consensus besides "How do we quickly save face, stabilize the markets, and get a little more oil flowing?". Israel isn't on board. The Republicans aren't on board. It doesn't even seem Iran is thrilled about accepting a cease fire before guarantees are made (part of their proposal after all). So yeah, I'm not holding my breath.
Tomorrow a humiliated Trump will realize his framing of this is being taken as a joke. Then what does a narcissist do?

They will say they have committed to blah, blah, blah and get back to the business of grifting the US 24-7.

(10,346 posts)Why would he possibly do something like that? To pretend like he accomplished something by his self-hyped deadline so that he didn't come away looking like the Iranians won his high stakes game of chicken? No way!
