When I saw Trump claiming he’s negotiated with Iran to delay the strikes and make a deal, I was half convinced he just backed down and really was negotiating with himself Green Goblin style.

Still it’s embarrassing for America that this turned out to be the case.

From all accounts, when there were real negotiations, Trump wasn't negotiating in good faith.
@carnage4life I really don’t want to sound like conspiracy theorist (I would though), but it’s intriguing how the „progress” started with the stock market opening and will end in five days, when it closes.
@tymwol I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. A lucrative one for some “lucky” investors
@carnage4life in the mean time it was a big stockmarket scam. Trading on the outcome in brought daylight.
@carnage4life Its sad I trust more into Iran words than USA president, when I read he negotiated with Iran I was suprised because Iran already said no more negotiation after being attacked twice while lin negotiations, so that's it. Iran said no and it's no, Trump says this and that and who cares because he lies 99% of the time as he always did from the first day.
@carnage4life perhaps he was negotiating with the mysterious other President who told him they "wished they'd done this". The man is a drooling puppet but someone is making a lot of money and the GOP don't care about the future.
