Trump's Iran "Deal"

[Arthur Brain]

How is this in any way a good deal for America?! What a joke. Here it is outlined point by point:

Apparently even Trump knows it's garbage following yet another garbled, incoherent and bonkers speech at G7...

Trump knows his deal with Iran is bad. His closing G7 speech made that very clear

Plenty of Republicans have blasted this "deal"...

“Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive,” Cassidy said. “Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.”

Ben Shapiro slates the deal but places the blame squarely on JD Vance...

Okay, Trump clearly didn't write the thing, far too coherent and too many long words in it but as much as Vance is a spineless sycophant, should he really take all the blame?

‘American Surrender’: Conservatives React in Horror to Formal Iran Deal Announcement

"This is an American surrender," declared Erick Erickson, one of conservatives horrified by the confirmation of their worst fears about the deal.

Fox News host Mark Levin, who has defended the Iran war and attacked other conservatives who criticized it, said "I sure as hell hope I am misreading and mishearing things. If there is confusion it is due to the withholding of the MOU and publicly stated comments, not to those of us who can see and hear."

Trump ally Steve Bannon said on his podcast "we can't get in the business of giving these guys all this money and giving them access. We got the sanctions, keep the sanctions on, don't let them sell any oil, don't put in $300 billion or let anybody do it . . . I think we're looking at this cockeyed, we shouldn't be doing anything for these people."

Conservatives sure aren't happy about this "deal"...

Well, Trump's not averse to throwing people under the bus if they outlive their usefulness to him so Vance better watch out!

President Donald Trump on Wednesday touted what he called a “historic” agreement with Iran while joking that if the deal falters he will pin the blame on Vice President J.D. Vance.

Speaking at a press conference at the end of the G7 summit in France, Trump defended the memorandum of understanding with Tehran, saying it would end the current conflict, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and “prevent Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

But when asked why he wouldn’t stick around Europe for a signing ceremony set for Friday in Switzerland, the president quipped that he was letting the vice president go in his stead in case the deal goes south.

“This way, if it works out, I’m going to take the credit. If it doesn’t work out, I’m blaming JD,” Trump said

"The deal is absolutely terrible, there's no getting around it," Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article III Project and vice president of external affairs at the Edmund Burke Foundation, wrote on X. "The text gives Iranians huge, immediate financial benefits and protection for Hezbollah in exchange for opening the Strait - and nothing else. President Trump should renege."

Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin praised President Trump's decision to use military force against Iran but sharply criticized the proposed MOU, arguing that it abandons U.S. leverage before Tehran has made meaningful concessions.

"From day one, I have underscored that no deal will be honored by the Iranian regime," Levin wrote on X, adding, "Why would we agree to immediately drop the most important leverage we have over the regime in advance of it complying with MOU requirements?"

AG Hamilton, the pseudonym of a licensed attorney and conservative commentator with a large following on X, sharply criticized the preliminary U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding.

"So they get to keep the nuclear program, the ballistic missile program, and funding for terror proxies. But they will pinky promise not to build a full nuke while getting billions of financial relief to fund all of that. Great deal. Should have had Kamala Harris negotiate it," AG wrote.

Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official who served during President Donald Trump's first term and is a known critic of the president, called the memorandum of understanding "pathetic."

"I was involved in Iran issues in the first Trump administration," Taylor wrote on X. "The Trump 'deal' could be the most humiliating in U.S. diplomatic history. Hundred of billions in exchange for a 'promise' we already had."

“You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Tell that to all the conservatives who are unsurprisingly appalled by it and making their feelings known. Or just continue being in denial about it all.
