Trump was in New York that day. He told a German TV crew near Canal Street that he had over a hundred of his workers down there helping with the recovery and that another 125 were on the way. He said heโd never seen anything like the devastation.
Donald Trump was born and raised in Queens and had properties downtown like 40 Wall Street that got damaged.
On the day of the attacks he was at Trump Tower, about four miles uptown. He did phone interviews describing the horror, then headed downtown.
A couple days later, around September 13th, he was near Canal Street where he told a TV crew he had over a hundred of his construction workers already down there helping with the recovery and another 125 on the way. He called it absolute devastation.
He personally supplied food, a lot of New York businesses did that for the workers he definitely stayed involved and provided manpower to help in rescue attempts. He felt it hard as a local guy who loved the city.
A kind of litmus test is the exchangeability of the skill. A real filmmaker could feed prompts to an AI generator quite easily. However, an AI filmmaker would find it very difficult to have to make a film in the real world. Just like a seasoned, experienced software engineer can ask AI for code, but could also write it from scratch if necessary. 'Vibe' coders can ask AI for code, but find it very difficult to write it themselves from scratch. Actual talent and ability is being lost.
Your point is not only valid, but seems far too obvious for any U.S. negotiators or Trump to not realize. These absurd 'almost deals' over and over seem to contrived and are possibly just a way of providing time for something else. As if there is something else going on in Iran that we don't know about... yet.
@washingtonpost He didn't 'signal' that he is closer to anything. He re-stated what is necessary for a deal and it is all things that Iran would never agree to. So, there won't be any deal.
