Trump: Iran has agreed to never close the strait of Hormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Two days ago might as well be two years ago in this cycle of insanity that we are being sucked into. But imagine if the corporate media called him on this. Held him accountable. Demanded answers. Did not let up and supported each other by following up on each other's questions instead of allowing themselves to be pitted against each other.

Seriously, this has already happened many times. How many more times will he declare victory with nothing to back it up, be proven wrong, and then make the same claim without being held accountable?

If nothing else, aren't people getting bored? It's not even good reality TV anymore.
