"The damage President Trump has inflicted on the United States and the world is so enormous and wide-ranging that it is hard to grasp.

"Donald Trump’s inaccurate or exaggerated claims to reporters about progress in Iran negotiations—such as describing concessions that hadn’t actually been agreed—undermined diplomatic efforts. According to accounts cited by media outlets, even some officials privately acknowledged that these statements damaged trust and complicated talks."

Donald Trump’s blend of threats and hubristic commentary, often casually dismissive of Iran, has, as much as the continuation of the US naval blockade of Iranian ports, been a key stumbling block to restarting peace talks between the two countries under Pakistan’s mediation in Islamabad."

We subscribe to the NYT though we cancelled our subscription to the Washington Post when Bezos took over.
I don't read it every day, though my SO does. I like the Science, Wirecutter, Television, and Book Review sections. Occasionally they'll publish an opinion column that I read, or a "breaking news" story. I also subscribe to former NYT columnists' substacks, like Paul Krugman's.

/12"Let me start at the beginning of today’s Trump social media spiral, which kicked off around 3 in the morning. Trump was up in the dead of night reposting a random MAGA account asking 'What will happen next?' with a question mark. Ok?
Then came the follow-up: a repost of another random account calling for Senator Mark Kelly to be arrested."

“'Lock him up.' Exclamation points. Having trouble sleeping, Donald?
By 6 a.m., Trump was on the phone with the New York Post, announcing that 'good news' on U.S.-Iran negotiations could come 'as soon as Friday.' ...
Trump officials privately admitted to CNN that his invented concessions actively damaged the talks before they could get off the ground. But he continues to lie. And sadly, many in the corporate media continue to report his lies as the truth."
