To be fair, betting on the apathy and cowardice of the US voter base is a pretty safe bet, and a bet that's served him well so far.

The article also speculates that Trump's surrender in Iran could be very bad for Israel, thanks to Iran's control of the Straight of Hormuz:
In a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Trump reportedly explained that the United States was negotiating a “letter of intent” with Iran that would “formally end the war and launch a 30-day period of negotiations” on Iran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The purpose and effect of such an agreement should be clear: The United States is walking away from the crisis.
According to one U.S. official, Netanyahu’s “hair was on fire” after the call with Trump—for good reason. The Iran war may end up as the single most devastating blow to Israel’s security in its brief history. On the present trajectory, Iran will emerge from the conflict many times stronger and more influential than it was before the war. It will exercise leverage with dozens of the richest nations in the world, all of which will have an acute interest in keeping Iran happy. They will be unlikely to take Israel’s side in any conflict that it has with Tehran or with its proxies in Lebanon and Gaza, because Iran will have the means to punish them if they do. Israel will emerge more isolated than it has been at any time in its history—and not least from its only reliable protector, the United States. When Trump turns his back on Israel, as he must do to implement this policy, MAGA will gladly follow. The bipartisan anti-Israel consensus in the United States will grow and harden.
Good. Anything that hurts Israel, gives Palestinian citizens another day to breathe and live.
From what I remember about dominionism, they need isreal to exist again so that it can be destroyed. I wonder if this is the rug pull

Hahahaha.
remembers Bibi started all this
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Trump's Endgame is always a test of just how stupid America can be ... and that is the key to his success - the near bottomless pit of American idiocy
America is difficult to underestimate.
Without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat?
Oh… no shit. He won that metal. Imagine advancing the decline of the world’s leading empire by decades, if not centuries. Imagine all the indoctrinated, enslaved, and coerced souls who gave their blood, sweat, and tears to put the US where it was. The magnitude of the defeat is staggering. Asking an American for a status report would be like asking a tribe of moles burrowed in Mt. Everest how a recent snowstorm changed the topology of the mountain. They don’t fucking know. They can tell you the cost of oil has gone up, though.
Let's be real, there's no way the collapse of pax Americana was going to take centuries
The collapse of Pax Americana will take decades, not centuries. 1 century? Perhaps, but not centuries
We still want the epstien files you fat pedo. Losing a war won't make anyone forget.
Even in my country (Canada), the news media keeps reporting on Trump as though he were a normal leader. He is not. He is a career criminal - a scammer who is robbing the US blind. Even worse: he doesn’t need to scam any more. At his disposal is the world’s largest military and nuclear arsenal. He is now attacking and robbing other countries. Next up: Cuba. He will keep on robbing and killing until somebody stops him because his greed is bigger than the Earth. Killing Trump would be a moral act.
His endgame is to loot what he can and destroy the rest.
Trump is like 100 years old. There is no endgame but dying pretty soon, there is only the mental disorder of some kind of horder syndrom, accumulating resources he does not really need for no good reason.
I disagree. Whilst he does have mental issues, it has more to do with enriching the people who have the power to protect him another 4 years so he can avoid jail, forcibly leave a mark (he's insecure) and rile people up, as a backup plan so he can claim he can't be kicked out because it's war time
Money isn't a hoarding disease at this point, it's a way to avoid accountability
His end game is to make a lot of money. And he's doing that.
He doesn't care what happens to the poor in either country
He will have to removed by force to get him out of the White House in 28.
Why he wants that "ballroom " so bad.
Assuming the ballroom gets completed before inauguration '29, I'm fine with Trump staying in it for the rest of his life, as long as all entrances and exits are sealed, and no food or water enters.
Bunkers only protect against foreign bombs. Local residents have construction equipment and concrete saws.
The only way he's leaving is in a box.
He can't leave situation because Israel won't let him
There will never be a deal
Drump will go down as one of the worst presidents in US history.
He was 45 and 47, so he'll go down as the two worst presidents in US history
That's quite the understatement. He's actively sabotaging the entire planet.
He's already entrenched in last place, according to historians, who generally like to wait at least a decade before making these judgemental. With Trump, they don't need the waiting period, or even for his term to end. He is already OBJECTIVELY the worst president in history. All he's going to do now is set a new record for how bad a president can be.
Whatever, just do it. Cut our losses and end that shitshow.
The problem it's not going to end the problems for a long time because Iran will have every reason to not cooperate even with beneficial terms. The USA showed its hand at being managed by a 6 year old who was only concerned about his perception.
Common estimates are that he’s made $4B off the presidency, he got the Supreme Court to decide that any “official” act by him is legal, and sued his own justice department for $10B to orchestrate a “settlement” with a legally binding agreement to never charge him with anything.
He’s ready to retire now
Edit: oh, we’re only talking Iran? At some point Iran will propose everything they want and hype it online as trumps plan so he can say “winning!”
He has no endgame. He's planning to remain in power until he nom-noms his last Big Mac, whether that's tomorrow or 10 years from now. Unless he goes very soon, he's also going to set things up for Junior to assume power. All it will take is a very loose interpretation of the Insurrection Act.
Even if America surrenders and walks away from the Iran conflict with its tail between its legs, Donny and his cult will still claim total victory, and there is a possibility that his approval may actually get a bump from this. Just in time to steal/cancel the midterms and start anew war with Cuba, oh and don’t think he’s forgotten about Greenland…
He also hopes to slip away without us noticing the tens of billions of dollars he is siphoning off.
That's fine. Now sieze his assets and force him into a nursing home.
...a nursing home in a prison.
I honestly deeply despise articles like this. Articles like this are how we get trapped in forever wars. Fuck the Iran War. I didn't want it to start, and I don't want it to continue. But the main reason we get caught in forever wars is that the media lampoons any president that actually does the wise thing and ends the doomed conflict. They portray them as a coward or demonize them for letting troops' deaths go to waste.
