Oops!. "'I came, I saw, I conquered:' Tr-mp set to claim victory in Iran at primetime address" Politico Goofed big time.

Blah, Blah, they got it all wrong.
It's OK for entertainment value, like:

Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House chief strategist, said the president will essentially declare victory,
Probably because he's tired of so much winning.

My guess is that something he was counting on went terribly wrong and ended up verbally delivering what he usually posts overnight on his phone.

In short, he was THE CONQUERING ZERO.

Nice Try, Politico

Now go home and get your shine box!!!
You, too, Orange Caligula.

"President Donald Trump will use a primetime address Wednesday night to declare that the month-long war in Iran is winding down, against a backdrop of spiking oil prices and increasingly dismal poll numbers."

He can still read cue cards.

But something seems really kinda off about him. Either that or he took some tranquilizers before he went on. Yes, he read it all the way through. But there was no feeling. No verve. Nothing in there to telegraph to the viewers that this was super important and they should all be fully invested in it. Nothing in there to assure viewers that these words were of vital importance or relevance. Just reading a script or a TelePrompTer. And getting it over with.

Like he really deep-down doesn’t care anymore and is just tired of the whole mess. And just wants it to be over so somebody can crown him king or something. Did it move ANYBODY? Or motivate anybody to jump in with both feet and sacrifice everything for the Greater Glory of Whatever or Whoever. It was totally empty, as was its speaker.

That’s all I saw, and all I heard, anyway.
