From the transcript
"The deal with Iran will go down as one of the most incompetent ever made, the US lost on virtually every point. We just don't win anymore." Now, that's a tweet about a certain Iran deal from a certain political leader in the United States.
In fact, it's from Donald Trump himself discussing the original deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran under former President Barack Obama.
It's making the rounds again today, but not in a way that Trump may have hoped for. Instead, it's circulating because the results are in on his new memorandum of understanding with Iran, the final combination of the war he launched alongside Israel back in February this year. And those results are simply stated and unmitigated catastrophe.
