Donald Trump’s response? “I’ll decide in two weeks.” LOLZ.
The world teeters on the edge of a U.S.-Iran war and Trump pulls his most reliable move from the MAGA playbook: delay everything, do nothing, and try to figure out what makes Trump look best—while hoping someone else takes the fall. Welcome to another episode of Donnie “Two Weeks”, where the timeline never matters and the consequences are always someone else’s problem.
The “Two Weeks” Scam: A Presidency in Perpetual Delay
Trump promising something in "two weeks" is like a drunk uncle saying he’ll fix the sink “next weekend.” Here's just a partial list of the things Trump said were coming in “two weeks”:
A “spectacular” healthcare plan (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020… never happened)
A middle-class tax cut (2018 – Congress wasn’t even in session)
His “phenomenal” infrastructure bill (2017… also never happened)
The final decision on NAFTA, the Paris Climate Accord, new trade deals, and vaccine rollout plans (guess the timeline...)
Even foreign policy wasn’t safe. In 2025, when asked about Putin and NATO, Trump responded with his classic dodge: “I’ll let you know in two weeks.”
This isn’t leadership. It’s pathological stalling. A fog machine of false urgency. A timeline that means absolutely nothing. “Two weeks” in Trump-speak is code for:
“I have no idea what I’m doing, but I don’t want to be blamed for the fallout.”
Israel’s Clock: Days to Impact
Contrast that with Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims Iran is days (since 1992)—not weeks—away from assembling a nuclear weapon. His response?
Immediate airstrikes on suspected nuclear sites
Calls for U.S. military assistance
A not-so-subtle push for regime change in Tehran
Netanyahu isn’t waiting for diplomatic theater or camera angles. He’s decided. He’s all-in. And while we can—and should—question Bibi’s long-term strategy, one thing is clear: Israel is operating on a wartime clock.
Now enter Trump’s America, where the calendar runs on cable news cycles and the only real deadline is:
“What’s going to make me look good on Truth Social? AHHH - I’ll tell everyone to wait “two weeks!”
Trump’s Two-Week Gap: Ambiguity as a Weapon (of Cowardice)
This is a crisis Trump could use to show strength, unity with allies, or even leadership. But instead, he delays. Why?
Because two weeks buys Trump options:
Time to see which way public opinion shifts so he can latch on to a winner, then give himself all the credit
Time to watch markets, pundits, and Fox News segments
Time to figure out which decision will benefit Trump, Inc. the most
Trump doesn’t want to make a decision. He wants to appear like he’s making one, while others (Israel, NATO, even Iran) do the heavy lifting or make the first mistake.
It’s a trick he’s pulled for years. But the stakes here aren’t campaign rallies or tax bills—they’re global war, nuclear proliferation, and alliances on the brink.
Real Risks of Donnie’s Delay
Israel is already under rocket fire. Iranian retaliation has begun. And while the world braces, Trump buys himself a two-week vacation from responsibility. But here’s what that delay really means:
Iran advances while the U.S. dithers If Netanyahu’s warning is right, Iran is enriching uranium while Trump watches Hannity.
Israel may escalate solo With no immediate U.S. backing, Netanyahu could take more drastic measures.
U.S. credibility crumbles Trump’s delay makes America look weak, indecisive, or both.
Trump keeps the spotlight This isn’t about strategy. It’s about control. Trump wants to drag this out so he’s the story—for 14 more days.
By the time he makes his “decision,” the world may be 14 days deeper into crisis.
When “Two Weeks” Becomes Dereliction
The ultimate irony? In a conflict where Israel says every hour counts, Trump is publicly out here saying,
“We’ll get back to you in two weeks.”
In domestic politics, it’s annoying. In a nuclear flashpoint? It’s reckless. It’s dangerous. It’s dereliction of duty.
America’s allies are moving. Its enemies are watching. And its president is waiting for the wind to blow in his direction.
This isn’t leadership. It’s legacy management. And as usual, Donnie Two Weeks has no plan—just senile, incompetent vibes and geriatric vanity.
Time’s Up
In the end, two clocks are ticking:
Israel’s doomsday countdown to Iran’s nuclear capability - Donnie Two Weeks needs to get moving!
Trump’s endlessly recycled “two weeks” promise, designed to deflect, delay, and distract from what we all know - he doesn’t know…
Only one of those timelines is grounded in urgency. The other? Pure Trumpian bullshit.
The world can’t wait for Donnie Two Weeks to finish playing Hamlet on a golf cart. Time’s up.
Thanks for reading! This post is public, so feel free to share it.
Eliminating Iran’s nuclear program is a goal most of the world should share, and countries in the region and beyond are cheering Israel’s campaign to destroy it — many, though not all, in secret. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to want more than cheering, at least from the United States. America has the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb, or MOP, that could burrow deep enough, and with enough firepower, to penetrate Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, as well as the B-2 stealth bombers to deliver it. President Donald Trump has sounded both warlike and diplomatic — issuing a statement of the diplomatic sort on Thursday — but he still appears to be weighing a direct U.S. strike in the coming weeks. Remember trump always chicken out, dummkopf!
Donald Trump Is Already Waging War: Against Blue America
The National Guard in Los Angeles, the arrests of Democratic politicians, the aim is to create chaos in blue states and use it as a pretext. Chao is consistent with Dictators when changing and deleting democracy's, Trump has made the US a Dictatorship while the US incompetent citizens did nothing to stop him, it's like the people were sleeping, he is laughing on why you let him! Trump Threatens to Send Troops to More Cities After Huge Legal Win. You snooze you lose. A federal appeals court ruled Donald Trump could keep the National Guard troops in Los Angeles. His laughing at the incompetent democratic people of the US. I'm the King of the world you suckers and losers!
It's time to commit Donald Trump. Florida's Baker Act is the way to do it.
Trump loves the dress-up part of being generalissimo. But he is not a warrior president.
He revels in the trappings and parade of power; but if he wages war, he wants it to be here in America, not abroad.
He would love Day One of the the War. Not so much the Days After. He wants the show, but not the mess.
And, finally, the guy who blusters All-caps threats — “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” — really does always chicken out.
All of this leads Daniel Drezner to go out on a limb and predict that “Trump is not gonna bomb Iran. This is a bluff.”
Finally, as noted here, here, here, here, and here, Trump is more predictable on foreign affairs than he or his team understand. If Trump thinks he is picking on a weakling, or an actor who cannot retaliate against the United States, he’ll go through with the attacks.
Israel has been claiming Iran is a month, or weeks, or some other short period away from a nuclear weapon for many years. Netanyahu and Israel have wanted war with Iran for many years—if they can drag the US in. That is why the pretext is Iranian nukes, though US intelligence says this is false.
There was a good program in place to limit Iran in nuclear capability while encouraging and facilitating peaceful uses, the JCPOA.
trump pulled out of it because he hates anything Obama did, and is now trying to "negotiate" a worse deal. But he's not actually negotiating; he does not know how to do that. He's indulging in more of his performative bullying.
We are ignoring that Israel has once again attacked another nation under thin pretext, and is violating the airspace of the countries between Israel and Iran with every attack.
Israel is not "scrambling to stop a nuclear Iran;" it is waging war for quite conventional reasons using that as a pretext.
Thanks to to the criminal stupidity of the US, Israel does have nuclear weapons. Now that the Pentagon has opined that the deep Iranian complex can be destroyed **only** with nuclear weapons Netanyahu will be pressing trump to use them, while the end times lunatics that surround trump push for steps to "the rapture" and armageddon.
And if trump does not use nuclear weapons, Israel may; they are already a pariah state, though they'd prefer the US face the consequences.
The end of Netanyahu's plan rests on manipulating trump, and trump's stupidity, ignorance, and mental decline make this easy.
