Trump on Iran "deal"..."I looked at it, and if I don't like the first sentence I just throw it away"

Q: Have you rejected the latest proposal from Iran?

TRUMP: I looked at it, and if I don't like the first sentence I just throw it away

Q: What was the first sentence

TRUMP: An unacceptable sentence. If they have any nuclear in any form, I don't read the rest

Also, it didn't praise me enough and offer to give me control of all their oil.

It didn't say "DONALD TRUMP IS THE BEST PERSON IN THE WORLD AND WE IN IRAN ARE NOTHING"

Makes him sound tough. Hannity asks a follow up, not even meant to be tough, and he blusters. Sean apparently thinks he literally read the first sentence and tossed it. Likely, Trump didn't read it at all but was briefed something by Jared or JD... He's stuck knowing the deal he likely gets will be worse than the deal he tore up 10 years ago and he won't accept that. So this shit show will continue until... fuck knows.

Just bury that stuff at the end because you know he'll never read that far

they may make some headway.

If they called him the Greatest Leader in the History of the World!!! and bought a few billion dollars' worth of his crypto then the war would be over and Iran would be Our Great Friend Who Said Very Nice Things About Me.

I find it difficult to believe he is capable of reading past the first sentence.
