Introduction – Aug 11, 2026

This website is not run a by a psychic but he will make a prediction based on logic.

U.S. President Trump has made so many outlandish statements and demands recently that you really have to wonder if he is of ‘sound mind’?

That’s a serious question because he’s now demanding that Iran pay compensation for the U.S. service personnel killed as Iran defended itself, in a war that he initiated on Israel’s behalf.

Is Trump delusional?

To even make such a demand suggests that he is out of touch with reality. So much so that the more level-headed members of his administration may start privately calling into question his mental fitness for the Oval Office.

After all, a delusional egoist is the last thing you want heading a nuclear chain of command.

Especially after he made genocidal threats to Iran, Trump is not the sort of man you would want with his finger on the nuclear button.

That being the case this website wouldn’t be surprised to see efforts to remove Trump from office by elements within his own administration. Nor would it be surprising if “ill health”, whether real or not, is used as a pretext to remove him from the White House in the coming months.

Either way, the days of MAGA may be drawing to a close. Ed.

Trump vows to get compensation from Iran for deaths of US troops

TASS – Aug 10, 2026

US President Donald Trump intends to seek compensation from Iran for the deaths of American military personnel, he said on Truth Social.

“I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings! But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat,” he said.

He said the United States also considers it necessary for the Iranian leadership to compensate the families of those who participated in protests in the republic over the past 50 years.

“I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations,” Trump said.

In March, he in fact tried to shift responsibility onto Iran for a 2000 bombing of the US destroyer Cole carried out by al-Qaeda (banned in Russia).

The United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding providing for an immediate cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, on the night of July 8, the United States resumed large-scale strikes against Iran, accusing it of violating the agreements on the Strait of Hormuz.
