• What tipped the scales for TACO Trump?

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Thursday, April 09, 2026 06:43:34

    Suddenly, TACO Trump agreed to the ten Iranian demands. What made him give in so quickly and thereby make the worst deal ever in the Middle East?

    It was possibly Iran's threat to destroy the $30 billion AI Data Center in Abu Dhabi.

    The realization that Iran is capable of doing so AND that the US has nothing in its arsenal to stop it.

    It wouldn't surprise me if that is the case.

    After all, that would make the biggest American tech companies very angry. Their contributions to Trump were and are enormous. Trump owes a lot to the richest entrepreneurs behind those tech companies. It was not for nothing that they were seated in the front row during his second appointment.

    If that support falls away, what is left behind Trump, except for some white trash, particularly in the poorest states in the US?

    Trump's bluff backfired when it turned out that Iran actually held the cards. Meanwhile, Israel is no longer adhering to the deal, and the UAE has retaliated for the Iranian attacks on the Gulf state.

    Trump himself appears not to have read the 10 Iranian points, given his statement that Lebanon was not part of them. It turned out it was. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, so the hope for free passage for ships has vanished.
