President Trump has gone from America First to Iran First.
He stopped the war early, got cornered when Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, and cut a deal: a $300 billion bribe, unfrozen assets, and their oil profits back. Then he handed negotiations to a naive Vice President and guys who'd be better off buying you an office building in Alexandria.
BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that the annual ranking of US presidents by a committee of 50 top presidential historians was released today, and the committee almost unanimously ranked Trump’s second term as the worst in US history.
According to Axios, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and the CIA director, all apparent hardliners, opposed the MOU. I assume they had good reasons. What were they? If you actually read it I think it’s pretty obvious. And we can all agree they are great patriots.
I don’t understand who is going to invest in a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. The U.S. is not doing so, and why would the Qataris or any other country in the Middle East that was just attacked by Iran invest one penny to support Iran’s reconstruction?
Most of the damage inflicted on Iran was directed to military targets. Why would anyone want to help Iran rebuild its military capabilities?
Even if the funds were limited to humanitarian-related infrastructure, if there is such a thing, money is fungible, and we know the first freed up dollar will go to rebuild Iran’s ballistic and nuclear capabilities.
What am I missing?
Let me be clear, I don't care where $300 billion comes from.
Giving the Iranian regime that chants “death to America” billions and billions of dollars is a bad idea.

BREAKING. All hell breaks loose between Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni. 🇮🇹 🇺🇸
Trump told La7 tv that apparently “Meloni begged to have a picture with me at the G7, I felt sorry for her”.
Meloni’s scathing response: “I am shocked by Trump’s utterly fabricated words. I am sorry he doesn’t show the same determination against the enemies of the West. And bear in mind: me and Italy never beg”.
What a time to be alive.
