At 602 last night, President Donald Trump announced on his social media account that Israel and Iran had agreed to a complete and total ceasefire that would lead to an official end to the

12-day war. Maggie Haberman of the New York Times reported today that the announcement took

some of Trump's own senior advisors by surprise. Since then, Trump's social media feed has been unusually active, posting claims that his

approval rate is soaring, that he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, that for the first time ever,

a majority of Americans believe the United States is on the right track, and that Trump was right about everything. The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not

violate it. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, Trump's social media feed posted at

108 this morning. But within hours, Israel had struck Iran again. At 6.50, Trump's social media feed posted,

Israel, do not drop those bombs. If you do, it is a major violation.

Bring your pilots home now. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.

At 728, it posted, Israel is not going to attack Iran.

All planes will turn around and head home while doing a friendly plane wave to Iran.

Nobody will be hurt.

The ceasefire is in effect.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.

After Israel struck, Iran retaliated.

This morning, Trump accused both countries

of violating the ceasefire agreement,

although to be sure, there has been no published confirmation that

any such agreement exists. Sounding angry, Trump told reporters, we basically have two countries

that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
