PoliticalTea 🗳️ How negotiations actually work...

To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.

Every aspect of the Obama presidency feels like a lost golden age compared to where we are now.    The worst day under Obama was better than the best day under Trump.

You know what else Obama didn't do? He didn't murder Iranian leaders while negotiating with them. So Obama operated from a place of honor and trust with our adversaries.

Trum_p can't get a deal, not just because he painted himself into a stupid stupid corner. -But also because he lie_s and gaslights until his words are worthless.
