Excellent chance that this is the DEFINITIVE Obama & Trump political cartoon.

Trump: “If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good one. Not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of cash & a clear path to a nuclear weapon.”

Obama: “We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. We didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait.”

Obama admin xfered $1.7 billion to Iran in 2016 to settle a decades-old failed arms deal. ($400 million principal—originally deposited by Iran in the 1970s for undelivered military equipment—and $1.3 billion in interest.)

Iranian negotiators are demanding the immediate release of $12 billion in frozen assets held in Qatar as a precondition for advancing talks with the United States, an informed source with direct knowledge of the negotiations told Iran International.

Sovreign nations are not as easy to bully as small independent contractors in Florida or NYC. And, of course, there is no primary backup through the court system where he can drag his feet while his opponent slowly goes bankrupt.

He lied, of course, all those years ago when he claimed that he never settled and always won in court "fair and square." The truth is that he always settled. That was his plan.

He'll settle with Iran, of course, and the "deal" won't be good for the US, but he'll stomp around claiming a great victory like he usually does.The Strait will be opened in some fashion, probably with Iran charging a toll to sail through, and in 3 or 4 months after that gas prices will start to go down again. And there will be a noticeable jump in the number of EVs sold. The cycle continues as long as the Big Oil companies maintain their leverage over our - and other - governments around the world.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
