President Trump declares that “there are no limits” on his power and that he has totally defeated Iran militarily

Is Trump delusional or is he deceiving his supporters by painting defeat as victory? I don’t know. What I do know is that it was not Iran who asked for the ceasefire. If Trump and Israel were winning, why did they need a ceasefire?
It was Iran who pulled out of the negotiations last Thursday because of Israel’s noncompliance. This is not the behavior of a country that has been totally defeated and surrendered unconditionally.
Trump declared the MoU was Iran’s “unconditional surrender,” a claim inconsistent with the fact that the MoU is based on Iran’s 14 points. Iran has surrendered nothing. But the rah-rah America crowd will prefer the lie to the fact.
Americans, indeed all peoples, have convinced me that they have trouble with reality. When reality is unpleasant, they retreat into fictitious reality created for them by their political masters, presstitutes, and corporations. They would rather be unaware and unstressed than stressed and informed. So Trump keeps them with him by placing them at ease by turning the astounding defeat of the US and Israel by Iran into Iran’s unconditional surrender and America’s victory. I have lost subscribers by telling them the truth instead of what they want to hear. They want to hear what makes them comfortable.
Don’t tell anyone wearing a MAGA hat that Trump lost the war and had to ask Iran for a ceasefire unless you are looking for a fist fight.
