Well, howdy there, internet people, it spell again. So today, we're going to talk about Trump

considering paying Iran $20 billion. Reporting has come out that says the Trump administration

is considering unfreezing $ billion in Iranian assets as part

of Trump's ongoing attempts to unwind the military campaign that started with him saying the only

The administration obviously knows how damaging this is to Trump. He spent a literal

And given that much of Iran is without internet, it's the press that carries his negotiating positions forward.

Meanwhile, Trump went to the press to try to squash the idea that this was being considered,

saying, quote,

No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form.

The problem with this is the Trumpian spin machine.

My guess is that he'll unfreeze Iranian assets and then say that no money changed hands.

And that's true.

And this type of thing is a typical part of normal negotiations.

However, Trump has criticized other presidents in the past for the same activity.

Trump's latest fixation is trying to get Iran to hand over the uranium they already enriched. It seems strange that a

sticking point in negotiations is a stockpile of uranium that Trump told the country he obliterated
