Donald Trump has claimed he could approve an Iran peace deal on Friday that contains major concessions from Tehran, including the opening of the strait of Hormuz and the elimination of the country’s nuclear programme. However, top Iranian officials signalled a final agreement had not been reached.

The two versions indicate Trump may once again be practising his “art of the deal” as he seeks to talk his way out of a war that has disrupted global energy supplies and rocked the world economy.

Trump emerged from the White House situation room after spending more than two hours with senior aides but did not immediately announce his decision. The New York Times, citing a senior administration official, reported that Trump had not made a decision on the peace deal.

Donald trump playing fast and loose with the truth?!? Well I never!

I have a suspicion that may sound shocking, but I have my doubts about this trump guy and his trustworthy-ness.

You blew my mind. How did I not spot this sooner?!

Trump is a lying piece of shit. Treat everything he says like it’s opposite day. “Almost have a deal” - it’s nowhere close. “I’m not even in the Epstein files, we weren’t close” - I was one of his best friends and I’m in the files more than anyone else. “I am peace” - I’ll start as many wars as I can to get the heat off of me. “The election was stolen from me” - I did my best to steal the election.

He’s incredibly simple, unintelligent, and it’s trivial to telegraph his moves.

Yes, but good luck convincing the red-baseball-cap-wearing masses that they made a mistake by voting for him.

Pride, hate and sunk-cost fallacy are a hell of a thing.

They’re completely a lost cause, and literally not worth an ounce of effort. Convincing less than 10% of the people that didn’t even vote would have caused an easy loss for him in 2024.

We had 89 million people not even vote. Craziness.

Just like there was no agreement the last dozen times he said they’d reached an agreement. I’m beginning the man may not be entirely on the level.

So far, Iran has been right about everything.

I wish they’d stop running headlines whenever Trump says a deal is “about to happen.”

Make the headline when the deal happens. Everything else, EVERYTHING else, is market manipulation.

dabu@lemmy.world on 30 May 05:55 collapse

Yeah but they manipulate the market through headlines :(

Yeah, you might have misread my post lol. I’m saying that they should only post the headline when the thing happens, not whenever Trump says a thing.

But then how would they manipulate the market?

Did the markets close for the weekend? Guess what, there’s a deal and it’s incredible! Did the markets open for the week? Oh no, there’s no deal, we’re gonna obliterate them! Ad nauseaum

Trump is being punked by a teenager in Indonesia with the email address of presidentofiran@hotmail.com. I’m sure Trump will transfer 1,000 BTC to that email address just before the “signing” of the deal.
