"Here's the deal - just in time for my glorious birthday"

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement. The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands. At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States. We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

"exchange" (should be "change", but he's a fucking moron) hands.

But of course, by this definition, there was no money "exchanging hands" during Obama's term either. And in fact, the $1.7B was a separate settlement of a legal dispute (separate from the nuclear deal, i.e. JCPOA) that related to disposition of Iran's funds going back to the days of the Shah and Revolution. One which the US expected to lose at the Hague. Iran was asking for $10B, US settled for 1.7B. That's called REAL DEAL-MAKING.

No 80 year old wrote that.

I don't understand why we give all this drivel attention and coverage as if he issues most of them or even oks them. They are written by low level scumbags.
