The Art of the Deal????

It's being reported this morning that the US and Iran have reached a "deal" in the conflict started by the Melon Felon two or three months ago. The details have not yet been released as of this morning but it appears that there will be a cease fire for 90 days to allow time to work on an actual treaty instead of the "Memorandum of Understanding" or MOU that this is. Bear in mind that President Obama, along with a number of other leaders, had negotiated a deal back in July 2015 called the JCPOA or Iran nuclear deal for short. By all indications, this was working in keeping Iran for manufacturing a nuclear weapon and had achieved some form of uncomfortable peace in the Middle East. In 2018, Trump removed the US from the deal and it fell apart. According to him, the Iranians were ignoring the deal anyway, Obama had negotiated it so it had to be horrible, and only he could fix it. He never got around to doing so in his first term and had to wait until now to take charge. According to intelligence sources, Iran was nowhere near a nuclear warhead. According to Trump, it was imminent - within 2 weeks! - and he had to do something. So, he and Israel decided to completely set the Middle East into turmoil. (Oddly, 2 weeks is what he said it would take to come up with a new healthcare program; that was about 6 years ago, during his first term. Should be here any day, now!) It appears that the terms of this new deal with Iran will not be as favorable as Obama's deal was. And there you have it! Just so much winning! 7,000 dead, including a lot of kids and innocents, about $40 billion spent on munitions, 13 dead soldiers, gas over $4 a gallon, and inflation at the highest rate since during the pandemic. Why do we even have a 25th Amendment?
