"Nobody did anything about it until I came along," Donald Trump told me in an exclusive interview for my new book about the decades-long corruption joining US and Chinese elites in a plot to destroy America. THE CHINA MATRIX is out Oct 21. Pre-order NOW: hachettebookgroup.com/titles…

As we await more on the Iran front:
Put aside your TDS.
Put aside your TMS — Trump Messiah Syndrome.
Be serious. Evaluate. Verify. Treat every claim with skepticism. Criticize where warranted. Acknowledge where positive.
And try not to use Iran as just another battlefield in your tribal political war.
I know I’m recommending the impossible for too many of you.

If you're going to read one article on Trump's MOU folly, read this one

What Trump calls the worst deal ever negotiated, and has identified for more than a decade as Exhibit A in the case against American loserdom, has now become the pattern of his own Iran policy — Obama's policy. I explain today in @tabletmag

A must read by @LeeSmithDC.
"Vance’s validator calls with the press, influencers, and think-tank experts constitute the centerpiece of his communications campaign, which is modeled after Obama’s Iran deal echo chamber but with one big difference. The Obama team set up its comms infrastructure to steamroll Iran deal opponents, like U.S. lawmakers, nuclear proliferation experts, Republican voters, and pro-Israel activists. Vance’s only audience is Trump. By generating positive articles, social media posts, and TV appearances celebrating Vance’s hard-fought progress in bending the Iranians to his will, the vice president is amassing evidence to show Trump that his supporters are 100% behind the president’s new policy of accommodating Iran, Obama’s policy"

The fact that no one has seen the details — and that negotiations over core issues re nuclear filed are to be negotiated in second phase of MOU is precisely the point.
When did you see the peace deal? You must be a trusted confidant

I’m a traitor is exactly what the left said when I wrote three books defending POTUS against Russiagate operation.
Who's inspecting israel's nuclear program.
You're a traitor!
You should be charged with treason and locked away in prison.

I wrote an article, which you can read, explaining why there is no verification regime, contrary to what Trump and Vance say.
Now tell us when you sat in on the negotiations.
You don't know shit. Do you?

I’m not saying he will be nominated, only that Trump personnel are out of the picture because of the stench of defeat. Dems almost a lock to retake the WH, in which case they will restore Iranian nuclear program
DeSantis could not carry the state of FL. You need to get real. Your analysis of foreign policy is not credible or reliable.

My poin is that there is no enforcement mechanism supporting verification.
Cruz?
DeSantis?
What are you on, Lee?

The issue is that there isn’t and can’t be a plausible verification regime. Iranians have a history of denying access to inspectors and there’s no enforcement mechanism. Worse, short of longshot Cruz or DeSantis presidency in ‘28, USG will rebuild Iranian program.
Might I suggest booking @LeeSmithDC? It's time we conservatives all face reality. Lee's article in Tablet captures it perfectly. x.com/MattRJBrodsky/status/2…

"What Trump has frequently called the worst deal ever negotiated, and has identified for more than a decade as Exhibit A in the case against American loserdom, has now become the pattern of his own Iran policy."
@LeeSmithDC writes the clearest and most devastating articulation I've seen of the case that Trump is turning a military victory into a diplomatic defeat that will haunt America for generations.
Lee still gives Trump his due for what he accomplished until the April ceasefire but there's no way around the fact that, as he writes, "There are serious consequences to losing wars." And this was a loss Trump chose.
Make no mistake, while JD Vance led the negotiations and this is his deal, Trump is endorsing it. I give Trump no quarter for getting kneecapped by those he appointed.

Ok but the senior WH official told me that this was always the case. Iran would see no economic relief without demonstrating that X number of ships are moving safely and freely without danger.
A leaked draft of the U.S.-Iran peace deal portrayed Washington as overly lenient toward Tehran, reportedly sending Trump into a fury. He immediately ordered his team to shut down the "weak deal" narrative and made clear that Iran would not see a dollar before taking concrete steps.

Trump spent a decade attacking Obama’s Iran deal as the ultimate symbol of American weakness.
Now, says @LeeSmithDC, his administration may be reviving the same playbook: cash, concessions, and the hope that Tehran changes course.
What changed?

Just saw three @WVUBaseball players walking through the crowd on the way back to their hotel from the stadium in the midst of throngs of fans going to the night game at the @CWSOmaha. No one was bothering them. No police escort. No armed security. Just three ball players in dirty uniforms laughing and strolling home after winning a ballgame. That’s not something you see at other major sporting events. That’s the charm of baseball. That’s the charm of Omaha. Never change.
