"Trump is happy and excited about negotiating with Iran"

Some GOP talking head on last night's PBS News Hour said:
"Trump is happy and excited about negotiating with Iran.
Trump just wants a deal that is good for everyone."

That was followed up by some guy in Iran who said:
"Why should Iran negotiate a new treaty with Trump when he didn't keep the last one?"

into a Trump slush fund or some other financial compensation? A Trump condo purchase perhaps?

That's what has him excited.

call it his own, declare a WIN, and demand a Nobel Peace prize (after doing a similar cocked-up and even more concessions-laden NoKo deal) and come out immensely stronger electorally speaking. There is real danger to be had here in terms of 2020.

Nobel or not, if the economy is superficially strong from the average doltish voters' eyes, and his 'madman diplomacy' is judged to be effective by the rubes, we are all in massive peril.
