Well, howdy there, internet people, it's bell again. So today, we're going to talk about

Trump's approaching deadline. Coming off the news of the rescue of the downed F-15 crew member in

Iran, on Easter, Trump demonstrated the eloquence in class he's world renowned for.

Sure, he shifted the deadline yet again, but he did it in such a classy way that Iran will surely see the error of their ways.

In a moment in American history that will surely go down alongside other eloquent ultimatums, like when

Reagan said, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. On Easter morning, he posted to social media,

quote, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing

like it. Open the effing straight. You crazy, people whose parents weren't married. Or you'll be

living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump.

Such eloquence.

That was also followed by, quote, Tuesday, 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

So that's the new deadline.

It began on March 26th when Trump gave them a 10-day deadline to reopen the straight or accept a deal.

That eventually got bumped to Monday. Then it was bumped to Tuesday.

The threat to hit civilian infrastructure, if Iran doesn't reopen the straight, kind of clears up a lot of ambiguity.

When people would ask if hitting power plants and bridges or desalination plants counted as a war crime, the answer to everything except the desalination plant was, it depends.

The rule is whether or not there's a military application.

You cannot hit these targets for leverage in negotiations.

That brings us to the question that keeps coming in.

How can Trump declare victory and leave with the strait closed?

The straight was opened before this started.

Now, a consequence of the half-baked strikes is the reason for continuing.
