The world's worst dealmaker screws up the Iran negotiations Forget the "Art of the Deal" myth.

“The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards, other than a short term extortion of the World by using International Waterways,” President Trump huffed on Truth Social on Friday. “The only reason they are alive today is to negotiate!”

It was vintage Trump: Pathetic bluster, a pointless threat, a misunderstanding of the situation, and an inability to grasp what those on the other side might be thinking.

The US was represented by charmless Vice President JD Vance, Trump’s real estate buddy Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, whose talents for anything other than influence-peddling on a massive scale remain imperceptible.
