Donald Trump has claimed Iran is negotiating with the U.S. to end the current war but is “afraid” to admit it.
The 79-year-old president made the remark at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual fundraising dinner on Wednesday evening.
“They are negotiating, by the way,” Trump claimed of Iran. “They want to make a deal so badly but they are afraid to say it. Because they figure they will be killed by their own people. They are also afraid they will be killed by us.”
His comments directly contradict Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, who said the country was not in negotiations with the U.S. over a resolution to the war and had “no intention” to have any such conversations.
Speaking on Iran’s state TV news channel, he said the U.S. had been “sending various messages through different intermediaries” for several days.
Cry wolf harder there moron.
So far everyone has missed the best part:
“They don’t like the word war because you are supposed to get approval. So I will use the word ‘military operation.’ Which is really what it is. It’s called a military decimation."
TBD if this “military operation” will be “special” too.
it seems the US want a deal so badly but they are afraid to admit it.
Yeah because he can’t ever admit he was stupid and had no plan.
They may have found enough construction paper and crayons to explain to him how bad things are going and exactly how bad they may have fucked up in the short and long-term.
At the moment he seems considerably more nervous about this than virtually every other thing that he is managed to screw.
Probably not. He gets 2 minute videos of shit blowing up. I wish I was making that up, but that’s what he’s getting: a highlight reel of explosions.
Edit to add: pick a source https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=trump+iran+video+briefings&noai=1&ia=web
I hope he saw that animated “explanation” video Iran did (not the Lego one, the shorter animated one) because, while it’s probably too complicated for him to understand, that’s the closest “briefing” I’ve ever seen to his level of stupidity.
I’ve not seen those, I don’t suppose you have a link handy you could share ?
Damn. That’s well done.
Thanks very much
always projection.
That, isnt even logical enough to not make sense.
Most dictatorships actually convince a plurality of the population with their propaganda. Epic fail, TACO. Sad.
Fuck this headline. I understand click bait, but this is abuse of the literate.
This guy wrote a book called “The Art of the Deal”. That’s hilarious.
First, Trump made one of the worst deals ever with ‘Art Of The Deal’ The ghostwriter got cover credit and half the royalties, something unheard of in publishing.
Second, after having had access to Trump, the writer left and stayed away from him. He’s spent decades tellign the world what a POS Trump is.
He can’t even write his name. He didn’t write a book.
He didn’t write it, he paid someone to write it for him. Like all of his college and high school essays.
And he made a terrible deal with his ghost writer. Dude got Trump to agree to credit him on the cover and give him half the royalties.
Trump honestly wished he had the excuse of 9/11 to go forward in invading any country he wants. My theory on this asshole is, he’s warped himself back into the 2000s way of things in terms of corrupt politics. He saw how Bush handled everything in the 8 years he’s had office and was quietly inspired, telling himself “I’ll do better than him one day” and now he’s had his chance.
The problem with his thinking is that, Bush had his made-up excuses and a ‘War on Terror’ platform to jump off from to do this extensive war shit. Bush’s administration was corrupt but correlated with eachother, far better than Trump and his administration is.
I’d like to believe all of this is part of Trump’s dementia. He wants to Make America Great Again, to a point in time of the past of which he can’t fully remember or even execute properly.
It’s not about 9/11. It’s not that he needs a good excuse (clearly he doesn’t). Excuse or no, he can’t just steamroll Iran. He’s realizing he fucked up and isn’t prepared to see it through, so he’s just bullshitting and hoping things will work out somehow.
Bush’s administration was fucking MENSA compared to this shit show.
Just blindly groping for that lost age that doesn’t actually exist.
I think Trump has a lot of experience blindly groping for lost ages that no longer exist.
See the Epstein files for context.
A four year old can differentiate between negotiations involving a mediator and without one. This is a circular story without a story.
