Trump: If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good one. Not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of cash & a clear path to a nuclear weapon.
Obama: We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. We didnt have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait.

He lied, of course, all those years ago when he claimed that he never settled and always won in court "fair and square." The truth is that he always settled. That was his plan.
He'll settle with Iran, of course, and the "deal" won't be good for the US, but he'll stomp around claiming a great victory like he usually does.The Strait will be opened in some fashion, probably with Iran charging a toll to sail through, and in 3 or 4 months after that gas prices will start to go down again. And there will be a noticeable jump in the number of EVs sold. The cycle continues as long as the Big Oil companies maintain their leverage over our - and other - governments around the world.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
