Trump announces a peace deal with Iran. Cartoon from 15 June 2026 in CTXT
Translation of the cartoon: “Allow me to be modest”
Last week, Trump announced a peace deal with Iran, just as he did the week before, and the week before that… It doesn’t matter when you read this, because by the time you’ve finished this paragraph, Donald will have announced it seventeen more times.
The press, delighted by the daily nonsense spouted by that dangerous hick on his Twitter clone, far from delving deeper into what he says, merely act as amplifiers for all the rubbish, half-truths, lies, blunders and hot air he spouts.
One of the last thousand announcements came on 14 June and, as usual, despite the fact that Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, the mediator between Washington and Tehran, was the first to announce the outline agreement and that even Iran had made a statement, much of the world’s press once again fell for, at first, the propaganda of that egotistical Cheeto.
And this time it looked as though it was going to work out. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister,Ali Gharaibabadi, confirmed the agreement in principle, stating that the text of the final memorandum of understanding had been finalised and announcing that the official signing of the Islamabad Agreement would take place tomorrow, Friday 19 June, in Switzerland.
However, just as we were entering the final stages, Iran ruled out a ceremony in Switzerland to sign the preliminary agreement with the US and is now suggesting that the negotiators may meet in Switzerland after all, but that they will then hold a further event in Geneva.
Be that as it may, Iran has already made its position very clear. For the peace agreement reached with the US to move forward, Israel must “completely” cease its “destabilising aggression” against Lebanon. And Netanyahu and his Genocidal Forces of Israel still show no signs of wanting to stop murdering people and occupying Lebanese territory.
Trump couldn’t care less about any of this because the whole point was to announce it on the very day of his 80th birthday. The deal was nothing more than one of the many self-giftshe’d bought for his golden navel. The party was held in a marquee set up opposite the Casablanca, decorated with colourful Spam logos, fighter jets, coloured lights, bunting, loudspeakers, motorbikes revving at full throttle and people punching and kicking each other so that the rest of the world could see just how rich, powerful, influential and boorish they are.

The extravagance of the party would put any event organised by President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho himself to shame – a man who came to power with the backing of Brawndo and other brands. *Idiocracy* (2026).
If there’s one thing Trump is known for, it’s his pathetic insistence on trying to hide his failures – usually without success – and his unhealthy obsession with wanting to put his name on everything.
This week, a federal judge dismissed attempts by the Trump-appointed board of the Kennedy Centre to prevent the removal of the president’s name from the building in Washington and ordered the name to be removed.
The hick had renamed the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts by hastily and sloppily adding his name to the front of it.
Some workers climbed onto scaffolding to remove the letters, and Trump, seeing that people were flocking to the scene to take photos and that the removal of his name from the façade was beginning to be broadcast live online, ordered that the workers, and the entire scaffolding, with a large tarpaulin so that no one could witness the moment or capture the symbolic image of his name being removed from the wall.
