Trump, MASTER of the ART of the DEAL: "I don't care. Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me."

Trump had already waved off the talks earlier in the day, telling reporters, “I don’t care.”

“Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me,” he added.

Hours later, he arrived at Miami’s Kaseya Center for UFC 327 to a blaring soundtrack of Kid Rock, greeting podcaster Joe Rogan as he took his seat.

Meanwhile, the Iran talks continued for approximately 21 hours in Islamabad before ending where they started—without a deal.

“The bad news is that we have not reached a deal,” Vance told reporters.

This was never a clear cut "The U.S. attacks Iran and the conflict is solely between those two countries" deal.

This one triggered migraines all over the globe.

Trump did it based on impulse and impetuousness, with "the best people" (Hegseth) at his side.

He figured a few moments of chest-thumping and spectacle would result in American in the street singing his name and shouting "HUZZAH!"

OOOPS.

Thy name is Trump. The Iranians are taking his, and by extension, our lunch. The victims in the wake of his failures know all to well that he poisons everything. His formula is disaster capitalism, kind of like Max Bialystock on crack and steroids.
