Read the below and you will have to agree Trump has been beaten by Iran and made to look VERY weak. Nothing has changed except for the deaths, money spend by the military and Trump looking like the clown he really is trying to play soldier.
Toward the end of the Obama administration's negotiations over its Iran nuclear deal in 2015, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump chimed in with some advice from his book, "The Art of the Deal."
"Message to Obama re: Iran: 'The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it,'" he posted on Twitter.
Trump and his administration are now committing this cardinal sin in their efforts to obtain their own nuclear deal with Iran.
In fact, it looks a lot like they're giving up on even claiming their memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran is a favorable document to the US. The Trump administration is making it abundantly clear they just want out of this war.
Trump's overriding desire to extract himself has been clear for a long time; he has repeatedly pulled back on his threats, downplayed Iranian provocations and resisted a return to large-scale hostilities.
But over the last 24 hours, this attitude has moved from the subtext to the text.
The administration has repeatedly suggested that its handling of the MOU is about catering to Iran.
Perhaps most striking were comments the administration made without attribution.
"The consensus of the team was we want to get this thing over with, and the deal is the way to do it in a way that maximizes our upside and minimizes our downside," an administration official directly involved in the talks told CNN's Alayna Treene.
Wanting to "get this thing over with" sounds a lot like what Trump warned against in 2015.
