Does ANYONE know what the mysterious "very valuable" present that Trump claimed Iranian negotiators sent him was yet?

The best theory I've heard is Iran let some boats through and maybe someone told Trump this was a "gift" or show of good will for him when it was not?

I'm so curious what he thought he was talking about.

@futurebird These days I almost wonder if someone just gave him a blatant emolument and he's just bragging about it since he already knows he can directly break such laws now without consequence.

@nazokiyoubinbou

Yeah that makes sense. Just a big 'ol bribe and it "showed up" in one of his offshores and he was impressed that he was talking to someone important?

... if he is even talking to anyone.

@futurebird @nazokiyoubinbou

Interesting idea that the "someone" might be say Pakistan, someone who wants to see the talks succeed. Slip the money to him, make it sound like it is indirectly from Iran, wink-wink.

Iran continues to protest and demand, but now he understands that wink-wink they really are ready to settle. He declares victory yet again and brings the troops home.

@jakebrake @futurebird I can't imagine this working on anyone with a functioning brain.

So yeah, it's plausible.

@nazokiyoubinbou @jakebrake

Random reporters have his number and he talks to them with no one verifying who they are all the time.

Very easy to social engineer someone with that much power and just... a regular phone number.
