Thing is, Iran might very well say something like that to completely manipulate Trump. The con man is an easy mark. If you flatter him or trash his adversaries, he becomes putty. Everyone knows this now.
They won the war he started & getting everything they want, they donโt even have 2 do that. Those cards Trump likes 2 talk about holding, belong 2 Iran now
Trump is the type to say, โif I canโt have my way, no one willโ. He is a vindictive ass who has suffered narcissistic injury. The tarp remaining up is a sign of his psychopathology. If his name canโt be seen, then Kennedyโs will not be seen. Itโs that simple and stupid.
Also, he isn't smart enough to figure his way out of it, it was never important. Which is the case in most situations with him, so he only focuses on the almighty buck, as you said.
Trump will actively sabotage Vance. Trump will not want the Republican Party to survive after he leaves the stage. That is the nature of his psychopathology.
