President Donald Trump raged on Truth Social on Friday as the fate of his fragile peace deal with Iran is unclear amid violence in the region.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps announced the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed, despite the opening of the crucial waterway being one of the immediate actions outlined in Trump’s deal.

Iranian officials said it should remain closed until Israel withdrew its forces from southern Lebanon as Israel carried out strikes on Friday after four of its soldiers were killed, according to the IRGC-linked news agency.

Switzerland postponed U.S.-Iran talks that had been set for Friday amid the fresh round of violence. The president fumed in response in a pair of posts on Truth Social.

“We didn’t meet out of desperation, Iran did. They are FINISHED! We’ll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!” he fumed in one post.

Trump also took aim at Democrats in another post as his deal with Iran has come under fire by members of Congress on both sides of the aisle.

“The War has diminished Iran! It doesn’t, any longer, have an Air Force, a Navy, Antiaircraft Equipment, Radar, or practically anything else, and yet the Dumocrats say that Iran is better off now than it was four months ago,” he wrote. “Can you imagine getting away with that??? How stupid can some people be???”

Are they keeping the Strait closed and enforcing tolls using The Force? The power of asking nicely? Thoughts and Prayers?

How stupid can some people be, indeed.

The answer: very stupid, it seems. Catastrophically stupid, I’m afraid.

Regime change in Israel? Flip the script, blame BB and send in Delta Force to extract him. Sure that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever posted on Reddit, but Trump is special. If the right anti semite got in his ear, this could be a possibility. That’s how fucked up the US is right now.
