Two useless tits to negotiate what may be Trump's coup de grace, transforming him into a lame duck.
Interesting thread.
Wait. So Trumpâs Iran deal is now being negotiated by his buddy Steve Witkoff, a billionaire real estate developer, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner?

Not a seasoned career diplomat or nuclear expert in sight.
Trump is desperately making a bad deal because of oil. At the G7, he admitted weâd ârun out of reserves in about four weeks.â

Trump makes a desperate deal with Iran for oil while spending tax dollars to pay companies not to build wind farms and solar arrays. Waste, fraud, and abuse.
