of course not. this is just Trump pumping  the stock market. Trump lives and dies watching the indexes. Any time there is a turn south he makes some kind of happy talk to buoy them back up.

The United States has little to celebrate: Trump and his team, in record time, just lost a war to a militarily mediocre—but nonetheless extremely dangerous—adversary. . . . It is clear that Trump has failed to achieve every one of the goals he put forward for this war of choice, and now he is determined to sign, seal, and deliver America’s capitulation as quickly as possible. . . .

The reality is that the war will close with the regime in Tehran intact and in the grip of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; the Strait of Hormuz will remain under the threat of Iranian attacks; Iran will continue to possess significant drone and missile stocks; the regime will maintain the capability to be a state sponsor of terror; and many sanctions will be lifted and billions of dollars in unfrozen assets will flow to Iran. In other words, the Iranians have achieved their key strategic aims—regime survival above all—while the Americans have achieved none of their own.

Indeed, the United States has perhaps done worse than gaining nothing. Iran, while temporarily weakened, is now an even more powerful political actor: The regime in Tehran stood up to a massive U.S. onslaught, survived, and then inflicted pain on various states in the Gulf as punishment for going along with Trump’s war. . . .

The war leaves Iran battered, but more powerful and with more cash at its disposal, while it leaves America weaker.

Its amazing how being a meathead and celebrating meathead culture doesn't steer this meatheads away from idiotic moves like this. 

It almost seems like someone who is playing him like a fiddle suggested this to him to see if the idiot would go along.

The GOP cares more about giving pallets of cash to iran than they care about pedos, DOGE dividends, tarrif refunds, or Americans' health insurance premiums.

America first indeed.
