But that's only one of the terrible elements of the deal. That's why the MAGA KING hasn't released the entire document.

I bet there will be a huge rake-off to Trump family interests.

Imagine the outrage from MAGA if Obama or Biden tried to do this.

The man does nothing that isn't designed to benefit himself.

This whole administration is a carnival of corruption.

Every time someone brings up Obama's deal with Iran, the MAGATS all go crazy saying Obama gave them $50 billion dollars. Even though all that money was Iran's to start with. We are dealing with 30% of a population that couldn't solve a 2 + 2 problem if you gave them a clue.

Can we rebuild? Of course. But he's fucked up so many things that it's beyond fixable. We'll need a rebuild. And a reckoning.

Which was actually Iranian assets frozen due to sanctions to get Iran to agree to the 2015 agreement limiting their nuclear program and providing for inspections. That agreement was between the US, Iran, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China.

That was the agreement Trump tore up. And here we are, the worse for it.

“A draft memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran has been reported to include a proposed $300 billion (£223.6bn) postwar fund for Iran. The New York Times reported that the proposal has been described differently by each side at the table — with an Iranian official calling it a 'reconstruction programme,' while two diplomats familiar with the latest draft referred to it as an international 'investment fund' that the United States would help facilitate if a final deal is reached.
[…]
The rebranding of Tehran's reparations demand into an 'investment fund' appears to be a deliberate diplomatic manoeuvre. The American side redefined the amount as an international investment fund, intentionally avoiding the words 'compensation' or 'reparations,' according to diplomats familiar with the draft. This idea has been attributed to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.”
