Well, howdy there, internet people it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about 10 more days of Trump Chicken and Waffles over Iran.

Trump's planned campaign against energy infrastructure is back on hold, because he says the talks are going well. To be clear,

the talks at this point appear to be mainly back channel. That doesn't mean they can't produce

results, but they aren't the high-level talks Trump is portraying and the straight is not open. In fact, that weird statement

Trump made about getting a present from Iran was them allowing a few oil tankers through.

That's where Trump is. Getting a fraction of the normal daily traffic of the straight through

over the course of a week

is a very big deal that he should totally be praised for.

Quick recap.

Trump started an elective war with ill-defined and fluid goals, and while DOD made defensive

preparations, Trump seemed completely unprepared for the

inevitable counterattack. The Strait of Hormuz was closed, spiking oil prices. Trump posted,

quote, If Iran doesn't fully open without threat the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this

exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power

plants, starting with the biggest one first. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.

When Iran said it would respond against the region's energy infrastructure, Trump backed off

and gave them an additional five days to comply. They didn't. Now he's posted, quote. As per Iranian government request,

please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of energy plant destruction

by 10 days to Monday, April 6, 2026 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Talks are ongoing, and despite erroneous

statements to the contrary by the fake news media and others, they are going very well.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
