One. Trump publicly agreed to the Iran 10 point plan, then tried to go back on the deal instantly. Look at everytime Trump has been sued for business reasons. This is what he does, he signs an agreement and just refuses to follow through on his end then lies about the agreement. It's in his playbook and Iran walked Trump like a dog for the whole world to see.

    Can you point to a source that he agreed to it?

    You clearly have the internet. He tweeted his acceptance. Won't be too hard for you to verify.

    Ahhhh yes someone too lazy to check trumps tweets for the source. I'm not your librarian / researcher. You can use any search engine or mll and type something to the lines of Trump tweets Iran. Add in a little bit of reading. Boom verified. Because at the end of the day any source will be nit picked.

    You think if you show us Trump's own tweet it will be nitpicked?

    I've got a huge hunch you realized you can't and that's why you're dancing around

    Here you go jerk, straight from the horse's mouth: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116365796713313030

    Relevant bit:

    We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.

    Ofc he immediately went back on his word and claimed they were gonna negotiate on his terms instead but he's stupid enough to have left his original post online. It was widely circulated when it happened, too, but if he had deleted it you'd have probably claimed it's fake then?

    To be fair, he truths that Iran has agreed and proposed a plan, and truths nothing about what he himself did. Which I would assume to be weaseling if I expected him to be at least that smart

    I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. The point is that Trump mentions Iran's 10 points as workable, this isn't to say he agreed to everything but that he'd consider that as a basis. He then acted as if they had always been talking about the US' list instead. These two narratives are incompatible without an explanation, he either agreed to work on a deal based on Iran's terms as a basis or he didn't.

    Whether he always planned to betray them again or whether he changed his mind because he looked weak considering Iran's terms I don't know.

    Go touch grass. I don't know what your problem is but when the most powerful person on earth tweets geopolitical shaking news and then asking for "source" is the equivalent to asking for information as to why the sky is blue on the internet. Like bruh what are you talking about! Grow up.
