Donald Trump says the war with Iran is ending. His military remains locked and loaded. He talks about peace while threatening to destroy 38 Iranian bridges. And now Iran is openly challenging Washington’s claims about negotiations.

Welcome to the PRESIDENTIAL WAFFLE.

Former CIA officer Larry Johnson has laid out one of the most extraordinary contradictions of the Trump presidency: a commander in chief promising peace while maintaining the machinery of war.

Is this calculated psychological warfare? A brilliant negotiating strategy? Or is Trump trying to convince the American public, Iran, Israel, and the Gulf states of four completely different things at once?

Tonight on Restricted Republic, Justus Knight examines Trump’s own words, the Pentagon’s military posture, Marco Rubio’s warnings, and Iran’s response.

No political team gets a free pass. Not even the president.

Principles over people. Policies over politics.
