President Trump plans to deliver a speech on Wednesday evening at 9 p.m. ET to give "an important update on Iran," according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Trump told reporters on Tuesday he believes the war will wrap up in two to three weeks as the U.S. continues to hit targets. Now in its fifth week, the conflict was initially forecasted to last four to six weeks, according to the Trump administration.

[mysteryowl]

[Cheezoholic]

15. Well, if all go's well, we'll be a couple hours into the first humans to the moon mission on live on NASA TV

Whether you think its a waste of money or not (1/4 of what he just handed to Venezuela), that's what I'll be watching. Big deal to me as I was there for Apollo 11!

[littlemissmartypants]

7. Who is going to do what? Yawn. I have to wash my hair.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. And Iran will just forget all the damage, right?

[pfitz59]

9. How quickly will he go off script?

The man hasn't a clear thought in his head.

[Harker]

37. I'm betting the "ballroom" photos show up after five minutes.

[slingsam]

10. Say, Karoline: will he also address the nation about the Epstein files?

Could somebody ask?

After all he’s just going to lie his fat ass off. i just want it brought up……

[progree]

11. "I think the war is very complete, pretty much"

[llmart]

13. No thanks.

[AverageOldGuy]

14. On April Fools' Day.

Seems appropriate.

[thought crime]

16. To announce it'll be over "in about two weeks".

[angrychair]

17. Tomorrow is my birthday

I have a feeling I'm about to find out this idiot is about to end the world on my birthday.

[SheltieLover]

28. Happy Birthday!

[generalbetrayus]

32. Tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of my being in a relationship with msbetrayus.

Hopefully Orange Julius Caesar doesn't ruin the day for either of us or you.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

39. Happy birthday, though this is probably not the present you were hoping for. NT

[pat_k]

18. He didn't like Monday's djia or s&p. Better say something to push it back up.

Why when this boy calls "wolf" for the one thousandth time does the investor class keep responding as if something real just happened?

[eggplant]

22. You can't profit from it without the rubes.

They're the ones getting fleeced.

[Jack Valentino]

19. Orange Sphincter says what ????

I might watch it if I remember and am bored...

If I do I will be holding an empty shotgun....

The shotgun will be empty because I cannot afford to buy a new television---
and because the television is a little too close to my viewing position...!

[LudwigPastorius]

20. Time to declare victory (again) and TACO.

Greater than zero chance that he'll pivot to Cuba too.

[BigmanPigman]

21. TACO TACO MAN!!!!!

Yaaaaaaaawn.

[PSPS]

23. Short notice so insiders better get their trades booked now!1111!1!!11!!1

[karynnj]

24. Does he know that is when most Jews will spend the evening at a seder?

Given this was an Israeli/US "excursion" that seems a strange choice.

[RockRaven]

27. Would he care even if he did know/had been told?

[maxsolomon]

45. Seder should be over by 9 right?

Make it snappy, Trump is waiting

[Buddyzbuddy]

25. Buy this bottle of elixer and it will cure everything that ails you.

Trust me

Yawn.

[Skittles]

29. which DUer will take it for the team

I cannot bring myself to listen to that POS under ANY circumstances

[generalbetrayus]

31. I'll try. I made through about 3/4 of the State of the Union address before giving up.

[Skittles]

33. not bad

go for it.......I truly appreciate the input from DUers, as opposed to our dismal "MSM"

[generalbetrayus]

30. My prediction: He will babble on (pun intended) about the Iran war for about five minutes

and then make a 90 minute presentation about his beautiful new ballroom and the proposed high-rise Trump lie-brary to built in Florida.

, but only sort of.

[durablend]

38. I'm betting

He declares voting to be illegal and open season on Democrats

[usonian]

34. Nuclear strike. People will dismiss it as a joke, but he's ready.

Missed your post because I block that foul name. Please misspell it.

Repost:

Trump's "OBLITERATION whisperers" might talk him into it.

What's rattling around his empty brain tonight?

Quick solution. No negative consequences. Rating points. Forget about Epstein.

Trump May See Nuking Iran as ‘Safer’ Option: Conservative Magazine Editor

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-may-see-nuking-iran-as-safer-option-conservative-magazine-editor-11764509

Andrew Day, senior editor at The American Conservative, a conservative publication, is raising alarms about what he sees as a dangerous calculus in the Trump administration's approach to the Iran war: that the president might view nuclear weapons as a more politically palatable option than a ground invasion.

In a series of posts on social media, Day argues that President Donald Trump could rationalize nuclear strikes on Iran as preferable to deploying American troops on the ground.

"Considering only 7% of Americans support a ground invasion, and since all the ground force operation options sound like suicide missions, Trump might even see nuclear weapons as the safer political option," Day posted on X.

I'm ready for the announcement.

Muricans delight in the destruction.


Hiroshima

I do expect tonight, so he can announce the fait-accompli on April 1.

41. It would put Trump in the history books forever and he'd love that.

I doubt he would do it, but the voices in his head might be telling him it's a great idea. In any case, if he ordered the military to do it, they should consider it to be an unlawful order. I think we're hovering at about 50/50.

[Aussie105]

35. YAWN!

Anyone keen or silly enough to watch it and try to translate Trump-speak into normal English?

I will he busy doing something more important.
No idea what, anything really.

[twodogsbarking]

36. What the fuck is he building now?

[SamuelAdams]

40. Who cares?

He's probably just going to spout the same garbage he's been saying. The war is won. They're desperate to make a deal. They better make a deal. Opening the Strait is easy. Other countries need to open the Strait. Blah, blah, blah.

[thought crime]

42. Having made such a tragic mess, Trump should announce his resignation.

It's much more likely he'll declare victory and announce Iran's complete unconditional imaginary surrender. And his supporters will totally believe it. He's just not worth listening to.

[twodogsbarking]

43. Isn't that past his beddy bye time?

[Ray Bruns]

44. Let me save you 2 hours of your life.

1. We won.
2. We need two more weeks of military actions because we won.
3. did you see the Melania movie.
4. This is a drawing of the new ballroom.
5. There will be no ground troops on Iran.
6. Okay, I’m sending in a few ground troops but it’s Biden’s fault.
7. Okay, I’m sending in a lot of ground troops which is why we need to send the A-10’s to the region.
8. I have the best polling ever!
9. It’s Obama’s fault.
10. Did I tell you I won the FIFA peace prize?
11. The 2020 election was rigged.
12. I really should have been awarded the Noble(sic) prize. Did I show you this picture of the ballroom.
13. It’s all Hilary Clinton’s fault.
14. Here’s some more pictures of my new ballroom.

[Marie Marie]

46. You forgot him railing on the Supremes after his threatening appearance

seems unlikely to have intimidated them. Oh you KNOW he will be blasting the Court during a full blown tantrum.

[Aussie105]

52. Your pre-emptive translation of Trump-speak sounds spot on!

Bingo cards at the ready, folks!

[Diraven]

47. My prediction

1. Declare victory.
2. Everyone is saying this was the greatest military victory in history.
3. Strait of Hormuz to be renamed Strait of Trump.

[BattleRow]

49. The only strait talk your ever likely to get from him.

[chouchou]

48. I can hardly wait!!

"The Sharply set hovered above the Tehran parliament, spinning wildly as 60% enriched pastries were served with a side of "death to the Tomahawk octopus" chants. Meanwhile, I'm going to tell cartoon, it's very funny...Best funny ever... a "gigantic joke," which is why 9,000 marines are currently dancing with camels in the desert. "

[BigmanPigman]

50. More Market Manipulation

Alliteration at its best.

[JJJ123]

51. The Big Ugly Orange Dump

will probably declare seperation from NATO, claim Greenland for the US, wash his bloody hands of Iran, rant about the Supreme Court except for alito and thomas, congratulate himself on keeping gas below $10 a gallon and wish everyone a happy Passover.

[Aussie105]

53. If only there was a Deity interested enough in the affairs of Man

to heed the call: 'Cleanup on Earth required, stat!'

The unjustly killed would arise healthy, and make their way home to their families across the world, in Gaza, Iran, Israel, Ukraine, Russia, the Middle East, America, and a huge crater of unknown source will be found where the White House once stood and the same at Mar-a-Lago to remind people that nevermore shall this Evil take hold in the hearts of Men.

People will sing songs of praise and erect statues to the all-powerful Giant Red Lobster that resides above and watches over them.



Alas such a new meaning to Easter will never happen!

(Off to look for my sanity. I seem to have misplaced it somewhere.)
