Trump's 'Art of the Deal' With Iran: Is He Cookin' Up Something Stupid?
Hardcore Republicans are side-eyeing Trump's Iran plan, worried he's about to hand the Ayatollahs a participation trophy.

So, Trump's got a plan to… end the Iran war? Or whatever this tango is they're doing in the desert. And, surprise, surprise, the usual suspects on the right are having a collective aneurysm. They're huffin' and puffin' that the Orange Man is about to go soft on the Mullahs. Again. Because, you know, 'Merica! eagle screech
These folks are the embodiment of “NEVER negotiate, only dominate!” types. They want Iran to be turned into a glass parking lot, or at least strangled with so many sanctions they start selling their kidneys on the black market. Basically, they see any kind of talking as weakness. It's like showing up to a gunfight with a participation trophy.
Remember the Obama Nuke Deal? (JCPOA, if you're nasty). The GOP still has PTSD from that mess. They saw it as giving Iran a free pass to become the next Dr. Evil. Trump, being the anti-Obama he is, yanked us outta that hot mess faster than you can say “Make America Great Again.” Now, this plan... smells kinda sus.
No one knows what the plan actually is, which is causing even more right-wing consternation. Is Trump gonna let them keep enriching uranium to, like, 99.9%? Is he gonna give them a pallet of cash in unmarked bills...again? The suspense is killin' us...well, some of us.
Look, maybe Trump's playin' 4D chess. Maybe he's about to pull a Sun Tzu and bamboozle the Iranians into disarmament. Or maybe he just wants another photo op. Who knows? This is Trump we're talking about. Predictability is for losers.
Bottom line is, the Conservative Intelligentsia™ are watching this Iran situation like hawks, ready to pounce if Trump starts looking like he's about to give away the farm. They see Iran as the ultimate bad guy in the Middle East, a sponsor of terrorism, and a threat to world peace (blah blah blah). They ain't wrong, necessarily. But sometimes, you gotta deal with the devil...just make sure you bring a really, really long spoon. And maybe a flamethrower, just in case.
Personally, I'm ready for some chaos. Let's see what The Donald has up his sleeve. Maybe he'll surprise us all. Or maybe he'll just tweet something insane and start World War III. Either way, it's gonna be entertaining. Pass the popcorn.
