If this was not so serious and sad, it would be comical. The Trump Administration continues to be strung-out on the delusional fantasy that they can negotiate with a non-negotiable murderous, terrorist and fanatical anti-American, Israeli, and West Regime trying to destroy all three. Even if they could find someone in Iran to sign an agreement, historically, they will never abide by its provisions leading us back to where we are today. It is like "Back to the Future." To date, the U.S. has achieved none of the major goals of this conflict: Is the Strait of Hormuz open and safe for shipping? NO. Has the Iranian military been destroyed? NO. They continue to attack US forces and countries all over the Middle East with ballistic missiles and drones, and their ground forces are largely intact. Have we destroyed or secured all nuclear weapons, facilities or materials? NO. We are not even sure where they are all located. Have we destroyed all their ballistic missile facilities and launchers? NO. Are the Iranian civilians free of this murderous Islamic Regime? NO. Is there any evidence that Iran would actually honor any signed agreement? Absolutely NO. So what the heck are we doing there if not for Regime Change? Regime Change is the ONLY viable long-term solution to this conflict which will probably dribble on past the Mid-Term Elections. Destroy the Iranian military and install the Crown Prince of Iran who has been waiting months now to start a new non-Islamic secular government.

Actually, this is literally the only true thing he has said in the last three months. That is why they refuse to deal with him. They're much stronger than we give them credit for, and they are also winning this war

Wish someone like Jimmy was the president
@robinjoseph8925Iran isn’t making a deal with idiots like you😂
@Geryonsama_05End the functionality of the regime and get us out if there..... how is this complicated.
@jsvalina3503I'm quite sure they have probably used just 20-21% of their drones/missiles in the inventory instead.
@mackimacsWhy can't the US directly eliminate all their military bases and missiles. It seems the US is being weak. This war is bringing crises in the world. Just destroy them and end the war or else iran cannot learn lessons.
@AsishinJesusChristAt what Cost!!
@smart-amazon-gadgetsHe looks terrible lol
@BENNMED00Lair lair pants on fire 😅😅
@ikbalkadom4765What a joke 👿
@Sikivi-j1lIt’s sad to see Iran winning…
That’s what happens if you listen to liars once you attack… America sadly lost… and the Middle East will pay for that loss…
Send in some real political negotiators. Negotiating a real estate deal in the US is totally different from a political deal in the Middle East.
@modogo3635😂😂😂😂
@MD80888Everyday he says something different.So much about the we destroyed there navy and military in 2 weeks :/
@YassineothmanHorrible
@vr-7469If Iran does not give there uranium up, Trump will be forced to go in with ground troops. He has a promise with another country... you can think of who this is... about this agreement.
@jkim-pz5ooTACO
@JUDAMAN1This man is also limiting Israel in fighting Hezbollah instead of letting them eliminate them and weaken Iran's proxy - the Iranians are playing with his mind!
@mklnmYeah no crap what did he think they were 🤦♂️
@justrelax9501He lies about everything
@hdlc4635This is the worst interviewer. Shut up and listen. And please learn to ask better questions. I didn't vote for Trump but lady you're a TERRIBLE interviewer.
@joeb5327He deludes himself that the Iranians will surrender and agree to sign an agreement that will weaken them - they are much more determined, patient, and wise than he is
@mklnmThis guy is full of 💩
@keptaway1Everything out of his mouth is a lie made up at the moment. He's a bullshitter.
The Father of Lies. 😈
Aging is scary. But I would trade bodies and be him any day. He’s got billions. I don’t know why he’d even want that job anyway. More and more it’s obvious people over 75 should just get out of office and that includes quite a lot of them.
@drwho75453/5/26 - They’re calling, asking how do we make a deal.
3/15/26 - I don’t even know that we want to make a deal. But they want to make a deal badly.
3/27/26 - They’re negotiating. They’re begging to make a deal.
3/29/26 - I do see a deal with Iran. It could be very soon.
3/31/26 - It’s possible we’ll have a deal, because they want to make a deal. They want to make a deal more than I want to make a deal.
4/16/26 - We’re very close to making a deal. That would be a great thing.
4/17/26 - We’ll be knowing very shortly. I expect things to go well. Many of these things have been negotiated and agreed to.
5/6/26 - They want to make a deal. We’ve had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it’s very possible we’ll make a deal.
5/7/26 - Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And, they’ve agreed to that, among other things.
5/19/26 - They’re begging to make a deal.
5/20/26 - They want to make a deal so badly.
5/22/26 - Iran is dying to make a deal.
5/27/26 - Iran is very intent, they want very much to make a deal.
5/29/26 - A “memorandum of understanding” has the concept of being approved. This would extend the concept of an agreement for at least 60 days.
5/30/26 - The one guarantee I have to have, is that there’ll be no nuclear weapons. And they’ve agreed to that.
6/1/26 - Iran really wants to make a deal and it will be a good one for the U.S.A.
6/1/26 - I don't care if they're over, honestly. I really don't care. I couldn't care less. If they're over, they're over ... frankly, I thought they started to get very boring. (Peace talks)
6/2/26 - I told Iran, it’s time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You've been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!
6/4/26 - They (hezbollah) called us and said, how about stopping. And I think you’re going to see things happen.
Trump baby Trump baby Trump baby Trump Trump baby Trump baby
@SparOrchardBombing innocent children in Iran was wrong
@georgeosei269⚠️Nonsense⚠️
Donald Trump made his first major mistake when he unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA agreement in 2018. He made his second mistake by letting Netanyahu push him into attacking Iran. Instead of bringing stability, he only further destabilized the region. This aggressive policy towards Iran has already cost the US $29 billion in lost aircraft, radar systems, and drones—all caused by an Iranian military that was supposedly "completely destroyed.
The US has started a conflict here that, much like the Vietnam War, will leave them with no way out for years to come.
I'm still waiting for Mexico to pay for the wall this guy is a complete turd
@PanchoBigotes619The biggest problem in Middle East is Palestinian the only way to peace two states Israel and Palestinian and live side by side America should do that
@NimetEsmailPres #45 was weak and clownish.
@jcarle1001Yeah....thats the ticket
@buzzkill2739He's full of hot air; he knows China and Russia are giving them weapons, but he's too scared to say it. So he sits there and backtracks, saying, Oh, yeah, they've still got some weapons left.
@EricFreeman-c6dIsn't North Korea a bigger threat than Iran?
@gonzo-gw4luSince nothing else has worked, Trump is trying to flatter them. That's not going to work either. Trump should just admit he's in over his head and call this off before the damage gets worse.
@100perdidoNo I’m not telling you how many.
They have 21-22% of the missiles left.
That's my president called cancer 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@dholfactory5878At least he was able to stay woke for the full interview.
@madmax17497Trump does not have the cards .
@robbase-f6xThat pathetic, creepy old man single handedly destroyed an entire political party & turned them into his personal servants.
@FoxmanMusicSo what now, you can’t walk out of your war. No conscience on the world and it’s people. Man up and apologize to the world. You created chaos.
@jl0m683What a mess Dump has made in the middle east. He doesnt know what he is doing or how to get out of the mess he has made. His bullyboy tactics failed - he should just go home and face the fact he failed
@user-jt2yr6dr3vHe also said, he will get the Uranium even without a deal. Btw. A deal with a terrorist organisation like IRGC is not possible at all. The last 47 years prove that.. Everybody should understand this...
@JoergSingaporeWar will end next week
