“Don Lemon Show” host Don Lemon and former Republican strategist Rick Wilson could barely get words out through their laughter as they watched Fox News hosts struggle with President Donald Trump’s very obvious surrender to Iran on Tuesday.

Lemon played a clip from Fox showing hosts processing news of Trump’s multiple concessions to Iran in the new 10-point surrender agreement coupled with a two-week ceasefire.

“I have full confidence that the President is going to find some way to make this happen, but he said that we want to dismantle all major nuclear facilities. That has not happened. The end of uranium enrichment on the soil? They're still enriching. The transfer of the enriched Iranian stockpiles out of Iran? That hasn't happened. The acceptance of intrusive international inspections. They're still not willing to do that. And they have not suspended their ballistic missiles program. They're still firing them off,” conceded a Fox entertainer.

“But the question is, is the President using these two weeks to give our soldiers a break? A rest, to see if we can get this ultimately done? We'll see,” the host added.

At that point both Lemon and Wilson burst into laughter

“They're trying so hard!” Lemon howled between breaths.

“The amount of copium being delivered to Fox headquarters every day has to come in, like, gigantic train cars,” said Wilson. “‘Oh, we’re giving the troops a rest.’ Yeah, that's exactly what's happening — except maybe it's that Trump is once again in the most disastrous military, diplomatic and political calamity of our lifetimes. He wrecked the American economy, wrecked the world economy and he’s given Iran a pathway to restore its military and to continue what it wants to do, because he really, really, really didn't understand…”

“I wonder if some of these people — they seem like AI generated characters because they can just lie without, just, no hesitation,” said Lemon.

“They're so committed to the bit at this point,” said Wilson. “They're so in the character that Trump could come out and say ‘Jesus came down and told me something in the White House last night’ and they would run the Chyron. They would run the story. They would just say it. But you can see that even they're glitching today because the reality of the world is smacking them in the face with a frying pan. … [Trump] knows that he can't win any kind of political position right now and he can't help the Republicans defend the House if you got $6-a-gallon gas, or you've got prices rising like crazy, and everything he's doing is causing all the things that are killing him politically. So, they can't process that. They're having a real hard time at Fox Central.”

“You can sort of see the bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bloop, bloop in their heads as the machine kind of tilts over, and they're going to have to chase this story like a pachinko ball all the time,” added Wilson, “because none of what Trump is going to do will make sense in a strategic sense. … [and] it's never going to stop until he croaks.”
