The One billion, four hundred and eight million, five hundred thousand dollars, (1,408,500,000 USD) Donald Trump has raked in so far in his SECOND TERM. That was a January 2026 figures (NYT). Which while yelled about by FOX &amp; right wing talk jocks, has never been denied.  Besides, he made 3,600 stock transactions in the first three motnhs of 2026. Making money like he never did back when he bankrupted business after business.   We also have no idea about the transactions made, as he announced 'Peace in our Time' with Iran 38 times, before one actually took.  He has broken all records for personal fortune growth by a president in office, with still two and a half years to go.

Trump hailed the deal as a historic breakthrough capable of ending Tehran's nuclear ambitions and reshaping the Middle East. But two days after announcing victory, key details remain secret, triggering growing concern among Republicans, Democrats and foreign allies alike. The lack of transparency has created a political vacuum filled by speculation over what Iran has actually agreed to and what concessions Washington may have offered in return. Questions Mount Over Iran's Nuclear CommitmentsDespite the White House's optimistic rhetoric, Iran has not yet dismantled any nuclear facilities, surrendered its stockpile of enriched uranium or accepted a formal inspection regime. Administration officials insist those issues will be addressed during negotiations expected to take place over the next 60 days. Critics argue that means Trump's central promise of permanently ending Iran's path to a nuclear weapon remains largely theoretical rather than guaranteed. Even supporters of tougher policies toward Tehran have begun asking whether the agreement contains enough concrete commitments to justify the White House's celebration. Row Erupts Over Reported $300 Billion FundOne of the biggest controversies surrounds reports that Iran could eventually gain access to a reconstruction fund worth as much as $300 billion. The White House has denied that American taxpayers would provide any direct funding, insisting any economic benefits would depend entirely on Iran meeting strict obligations. Nevertheless, reports of potential financial incentives immediately sparked accusations of hypocrisy given Trump's long-running attacks on the Obama administration's nuclear deal and the sanctions relief provided under that agreement. The dispute forced administration officials into damage-control mode as questions multiplied about exactly what economic rewards Tehran could ultimately receive. Even Allies Are Being Kept In The DarkConcerns are not limited to Washington. Several senior Republican lawmakers have admitted they are still waiting for details of the agreement, while reports suggest even Israel has not been given access to the full text. Israeli officials are particularly concerned that the deal may place limits on future military action against Iranian-backed groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon. The apparent lack of consultation has fuelled speculation about growing tensions between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following weeks of public disagreements. White House Insists Patience Is NeededVice President JD Vance has defended the delay in publishing the memorandum, arguing that diplomatic sensitivities require additional time before the document is formally signed in Switzerland later this week. Administration officials also claim parts of the language were intentionally left vague to allow Iranian leaders to present the agreement more easily to domestic audiences. They insist the memorandum is only the first stage of a broader diplomatic process that could eventually produce a comprehensive settlement. Critics See More Questions Than AnswersOpponents of the agreement remain unconvinced. Many argue the memorandum appears closer to a ceasefire framework than a final peace settlement and lacks the detailed enforcement mechanisms needed to ensure Iranian compliance. Democrats have accused Trump of creating a crisis only to claim credit for partially resolving it, while some Republican hawks fear the administration may be offering concessions before securing meaningful guarantees. Former Obama administration officials have suggested the reluctance to release the text reflects nervousness about how the agreement will be received once its contents become public. War May Be Over But Crisis RemainsEven supporters of the negotiations acknowledge that the hardest part may still lie ahead. Previous efforts to reach nuclear agreements with Iran took years of painstaking diplomacy, while Trump's team hopes to resolve the issue within a matter of weeks. For now, the fighting may have stopped and the Strait of Hormuz may be moving toward reopening, but the deeper disputes over Iran's nuclear programme remain unresolved. The biggest challenge facing the White House is no longer selling peace. It is proving that the deal actually delivers what Trump promised in the first place.

"It must be because of M.I.T., my relationship with M.I.T., very smart. I say, 'What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there?" Trump said. "By the way, lot of shark attacks lately. Did you notice that?"  During a meeting with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, abruptly switched from discussing immigration to saying this: &#x201C;The other thing I say to Europe: we&#x2019;ve &#x2013; we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They&#x2019;re killing us. They&#x2019;re killing the beauty of our scenery.&#x201D;  Trump proceeded to speak, non-stop and unprompted, for two minutes about windmills, claiming without evidence that they drive whales &#x201C;loco&#x201D; and that wind energy &#x201C;kills the birds&#x201D; (the proportion of birds killed by turbines is tiny compared with the number killed by domestic cats and from flying into power lines).  The abrupt changes in conversation are an example of Trump &#x201C;digressing without thinking &#x2013; he&#x2019;ll just switch topics without self-regulation, without having a coherent narrative&#x201D;, said Harry Segal, a senior lecturer in the psychology department at Cornell University and in the psychiatry department at Weill Cornell Medicine. Segal said another characteristic of Trump&#x2019;s questionable mental acuity is confabulation. &#x201C;It&#x2019;s where he takes an idea or something that&#x2019;s happened and he adds to it things that have not happened.&#x201D;  A high-profile example came in mid-July, when Trump claimed his uncle, the late professor John Trump, had taught Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, at MIT.  Trump recalled: &#x201C;I said: &#x2018;What kind of a student was he, Uncle John? Dr John Trump.&#x2019; I said: &#x2018;What kind of a student?&#x2019; And then he said: &#x2018;Seriously, good.&#x2019; He said: &#x2018;He&#x2019;d correct &#x2013; he&#x2019;d go around correcting everybody.&#x2019; But it didn&#x2019;t work out too well for him.&#x201D;  The problem is: that cannot possibly be true. First, Trump&#x2019;s uncle died in 1985, and Kaczynski was only publicly identified as the Unabomber in 1996. Second, Kaczynski did not study at MIT.  &#x201C;The story makes no sense whatsoever, but it&#x2019;s told in a very warm, reflective way, as if he&#x2019;s remembering it,&#x201D; Segal said. &#x201C;This level of thinking really has been deteriorating.&#x201D;  I got rid of &#x2013; just one I got rid of the other night, you buy a house, they have a faucet in the house, Joe, and the faucet the water doesn&#x2019;t come out. They have a restrictor. You can&#x2019;t &#x2013; in areas where you have so much water they don&#x2019;t know what to do with it. Uh, you have a shower head the shower doesn&#x2019;t uh, the shower doesn&#x2019;t, you think it&#x2019;s not working. It is working. The water&#x2019;s dripping out and that&#x2019;s no good for me. I like this hair lace and [sic] &#x2013; I like that hair nice and wet. Takes you &#x2013; you have to stand in the shower for 20 minutes before you get the soap out of your hair. And I put a, a thing &#x2013; and it sounds funny but it&#x2019;s really not. It&#x2019;s horrible. And uh, when you wash your hands, you turn on the faucet, no water comes out. You&#x2019;re washing whole &#x2013; water barely comes out it&#x2019;s ridi &#x2013; this was done by crazy people. And I wor &#x2013; wrote it all off and got it approved in Congress so that they can&#x2019;t just change it.&#x201D;  &#x201C;Any fair-minded mental-health expert would be very worried about Donald Trump&#x2019;s performance,&#x201D; Richard A Friedman, a professor of clinical psychiatry and the director of the psychopharmacology clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College.  He added: &#x201C;If a patient presented to me with the verbal incoherence, tangential thinking, and repetitive speech that Trump now regularly demonstrates, I would almost certainly refer them for a rigorous neuropsychiatric evaluation to rule out a cognitive illness.&#x201D;</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/Middle-Finger-Salute-Donald-trump.jpg.e196d2651ef680e357e17061a1bd1440.jpg" length="57163" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 05:33:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Is Violence Really Still Necessary?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396821-is-violence-really-still-necessary/?do=findComment&comment=20557008]]></link><description>A good horse learns to obey the shadow of the whip.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 05:33:03 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>US Intelligence Says Iran Can Close Hormuz at Will</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396881-us-intelligence-says-iran-can-close-hormuz-at-will/?do=findComment&comment=20557007]]></link><description>Quite true.  Most of the Iran and counterproliferation experts were fired by Ratcliffe, via Trump's insistence, because their opinions differed from Trump's "gut feel".  Trump was told exactly what would happen if the US attacked Iran, rather than try to negotiate The experts were 100% correct, as if they could see the future. Even back in Trump 1.0, before he quashed the JCPOA, Trump was told of exactly where the Iran nuke program was (100% ended), as well as what would happen if the US attacked. Still, Trump nixxed the JCPOA, and Iran immediately began enrichment again.  Under the JCPOA, Iran's high speed centrifuges were destroyed---at least the ones remaining after Obama unleashed the Stuxnet virus. The companies that make HSC are minimal, and most are in the EU and easy to monitor. Iran had been buying from a company in Malaysia. The agency closed that down and shut off any Iranian access to the gear they would need (I thought this was still classified, but I saw it recently in an open source material). Another way the agency monitored compliance is by noting the power systems near any govt facility, as HSC need an exact and precise energy delivery system, lest they wobble and self-destruct.  The agency also monitored the commo of nuke experts, such as the late AQ Khan, who had been advising Iran prior to the JCPOA.  As far as nukes and enriched material beyond 3%, Iran was 100% done. Obama achieved that without the Strait closing, without inflation, without senseless slaughter, without killing 168 elementary schoolgirls, without spending more than $100 billion, without losing allies and friends, without causing any associated damage to Gulf oil and gas production facilities, and without the loss of any American lives.  So along comes the clown who has Obama living rent free in his addled brain. He quashed the JCPOA, had all experts fired, and embarked on his war of choice that Iran has won.  Oh, and save for Milley and Esper in Trump 1.0, Trump wanted to attack Iran BEFORE the 2020 election he lost, figuring he might be able to declare a national emergency and stay in power.  Trump is Born to Lose. He showed the world that again caving---taco-ing----to the mullahs.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 05:33:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Retirement Visa - Combination Method  - Clarification</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396652-retirement-visa-combination-method-clarification/?do=findComment&comment=20557006]]></link><description>You are correct my last extension was using income method having previously been using money in bank method.  You would continue for the current year satisfying both money in bank method and at same time 65k per month.  I think some suggest maintain the 800k after previous extension for 3 months then you can drop it to 400k. At next extension Oct 26 you would show the 12 monthly transfers (from abroad) together with compliance with money in bank method.   Some suggest that for the two months prior to next extension you only need 400k. Not required to take it back up to 800k. I choose to keep it at 800k + so if any issue with income method then I had fallback option.   Tip: ask for 12 month statement in Thai language and also small highlight of each transfer on the statement.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 05:32:34 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Do you believe in Anything?
