“Heya Joe… who wonna da Second World War, you so smart?”

Those words are from Firesign Theatre's “How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You’re Not Anywhere at All” and to paraphrase them... “Heya Don… who wonna da Second Iranian War, you so smart?”

How does "The art of the deal" Trump do in this compared to Obama?

So … let me get this straight:

• The official numbers say the war cost around $25–30 billion but estimates put it as high as $100 billion.
• It is estimated that ~1,400–1,700 Iranian civilians were killed including ~120 schoolchildren killed in the one missile attack on the school.
• At least 13 U.S. service members killed and ~380 wounded
• And what it has done to our allies in the region is beyond calculations.

What Trump did not get...

❌ No regime change (Iran’s government remains intact)

❌ No confirmed dismantling of Iran’s missile program

❌ No full shutdown of Iran’s proxy networks

❌ No permanent or fully verified nuclear rollback

❌ No decisive military defeat of Iran

What Iran got...

✅ Sanctions relief on oil exports

✅ Return to global oil markets

✅ Partial access to frozen assets

✅ Easing of shipping and maritime restrictions 

✅ Potential reconstruction and investment prospects of $300 billion dollars in loans

Bottom line: Trump surrendered!
