Trump wants to go down in history as one of the great American presidents, but what is happening is one of the greatest presidential disasters in American history. Through a series of bad policy decisions, Donald J. Trump destroyed the economy. Corruption in this administration is reaching levels not seen in the country since the 19th century.
The president started a war with Iran, which he lost, and negotiated a ceasefire extension that he will not let Congress or the American people realize.

A leaked version The announcement of the ceasefire extension (memorandum of understanding) was published by the Saudi media, and if this is what the Trump administration agreed to, it is a total defeat for the United States.
Let’s start with money. The Iranian regime, which Trump has failed to change, is about to reap a big chunk of it.
Here are points 6 and 7 of the memorandum of understanding:
6. The United States commits, with its regional partners, to creating a mutually agreed comprehensive plan for the rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while providing financing of at least $300 billion. The mechanism for implementing this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days.
7. The United States commits to ending, according to a timetable to be agreed upon as part of the final agreement, all types of sanctions currently facing the Islamic Republic of Iran, including resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as well as all U.S. unilateral sanctions, both primary and secondary.
Iran gets $300 billion and sanctions lifted. It’s really bad, but Trump hasn’t finished giving away money.
