Well, a cease fire isn't what it used to be?

Especially, when military strikes have not stopped!

I never believed Trump was capable of a negotiated solution with Iran because he started this mess! It was a ploy by Trump to make people think he was going to win. But all he has won is an endless war.

He may have gotten oil prices down, but like they say “a rich man’s game is to manipulate and steal oil to enrich himself”. Maybe not in those very words, but it seems to fit with what he is doing! The oil prices are being to rise in just after the dropped!

This war is far from being over and nothing will change even if they ended the war now. Oil prices will stay high and the cost of lives will increase do to the war. Economic chaos will continue and in most cases get much worse.

He is not just stopping at war, he is going after every single American’s benefits and freedoms along the way. He wants 1.5 trillion dollars to pay for a war. Yet, when he says that war will end soon? He never backed away from wanting the money. The only way to get that money is through the cuts of benefits and Social Security. That is their plan and the GOBers stand idly waiting for their orders.

We are all facing a crisis of what his ignorance has done and what is to come in the future. Not one American is safe from him, nor are they ready for the consequences of Trump’s actions.

This is a mess of a magnitude portion and I am sure it will never be fixed, at least in the rest of my lifetime. It will take years, if not decades to recover or it may return to normal.

Thanks GOBers! I’ll say this again “you idiots did vote for all of this and we are all paying for your stupidity”!

I'm afraid we're back to where we were with no end in sight.
