That Iran deal

Did anyone notice that trump said the US paid Iran $4 million but it was really $1.7 billion and then at the end of his blathering he said we paid Iran $150 billion!!
Maybe some fact checkers caught that but he does that - starts off with a number to impress with statistics and then the number increases as he goes on.

It is so like him to do -- but weird. Good catch, btw. Sometimes I'm so numb by his bs, plus I am cringing while he talks, that I miss stuff like that.

We gave Iran back their own money that we owed them.
And that had nothing to do with the Nuclear negotiations.
More Trump conspiracy theory bullshit. We don't need such
a gullible fool at the helm of this country.

It doesn't matter how much he said it was, he pushes a bogus story that has nothing to do with the reality of the situation. Those sources are no better than a comic book.
