Trump changes colors by the day amid blowback over his Iran deal
It didn’t look anything like an “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” that he had demanded for a deal. It seemed more like a gift wrapped bribe to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while kicking talks over Iran’s nuclear program down the line.
Yet “The Boss,” as Donald Trump proclaimed himself on arrival at the G7 summit in Evian, France, did not turn scarlet over the Versailles deal that looked like a close cousin of one his bête noire Barack Obama signed and which he tore up during his first term.
But he did see red, as experts, critics and even Republican allies looked askance at the deal that would lift sanctions on Iran, unfreeze assets worth tens of billions of dollars and help create a $300 billion fund for reconstruction and development.

Lashing out at the “fools” opposing the deal, he wrote on Truth Social, “These fools, who think I haven’t been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are ‘tumbling’ down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid.”
But when Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, claimed he had assented to the deal with “the enemy,” but did not agree with signing it “as a matter of principle,” suggesting Trump had come to the agreement “out of desperation,” it hit a nerve.
“We didn’t meet out of desperation, Iran did. They are FINISHED! We’ll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!” posted a livid POTUS boasting “The War has diminished Iran! It doesn’t, any longer, have an Air Force, a Navy, Antiaircraft Equipment, Radar, or practically anything else.”
Earlier before leaving France, Trump, who had only in May suggested he would “not even a little bit” be motivated by Americans’ financial situation to make a deal, acknowledged he did so as “I didn’t want to see an economic catastrophe.”
“It’s a memorandum of understanding,” Trump told journalists, “If it doesn’t get done in 60 days, that’s all right, we go back to bombing” and “We’re going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement.”

And as critics and experts pontificated on whether the deal would work or not and how it would translate in the midterm election four months away, ‘THE BOSS’ focused on what he touted as “over a decade of trials, triumphs, and an unrelenting fight FOR AMERICA.”
“11 years ago, a single ride down that golden escalator that changed history,” Trump wrote referencing the 2015 announcement of his first presidential run.
Again turning the spotlight away from any inconvenient truths, the former TV host reran reels of his “incredible” 80th birthday bash watching a series of Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts cage matches under “The Claw” – a 90-foot-tall arch adorned with glimmering stars-and-stripes lights – in the White House.
“HISTORY MADE UNDER THE LIGHTS!” he wrote of the unprecedented event. “UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn was an epic night America will never forget. 🇺🇸🔥”
And he certainly didn’t miss the star-studded opening of Obama Presidential Center in Chicago to hear calls for the defense of democracy in the company of four exes. Nor did the only living president not invited, turn green over a monument that he dissed in February as “not too pretty” and a “total disaster”.

But it was the Reflecting Pool in the capital that he painted “American flag blue” at a cost of $14 million that turned green with one of biggest algae bloom recorded in years. And as Park Service crews poured hydrogen peroxide to clean it up, the blue coating too started coming off.
Typically Trump blamed “vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work” alleging “Lightweight ABC Reporter, Jonathan Karl, was seen sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface.”
“We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C. Things are really looking good in our Nation’s Capital,” he wrote as he sent ‘Team Algae’ to make it blue again.
Not to mention the “big beautiful ballroom” that he is building in the White House as a “gift to the nation” despite legal challenges. A Washington Post report suggested the project would likely cost $600 million, half of which would come from public money contrary to his claim that it would be privately funded.
Another report suggested Trump officials had redirected $352 million in Secret Service funds to White House security to pay for a new East Wing that he demolished to make way for his ballroom. The Justice Department even cited a failed attack on Trump’s UFC event as the reason for “a Ballroom designed to defend against just such attacks.”

Trump is also reportedly planning to add a fence around Lafayette Square, a popular public park next to the White House that has long been used by protesters, to keep them at bay.
Meanwhile, back from G7 summit, Trump retired a jet that has served as Air Force One for 35 years to induct a new $400 million “palace in the sky” gifted by Qatar as the new presidential ride. The plane is expected to be gifted to Trump’s presidential library at the end of his term, leading critics to call it a bribe.
But unmindful of the controversy, Trump is looking forward to the next spectacle — a July 4 celebration marking Uncle Sam’s 250th birthday with military bands, flyovers and a large-scale fireworks display on the National Mall.
Only catch, it would double as one of his signature rallies, critics be damned. “We are going to host the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a ‘TRIBUTE TO AMERICA,'” wrote Teflon Trump cocking a snook at them all.
