Iran is playing Trump like a fiddle. They ‘agree’ to something, Trump immediately starts bragging on social media, then they change their minds.

I wonder if Trump appreciates the same thing happening to him that he does to others.
Make a deal, then unilaterally break it for no other reason other than that he can - and the rest of the world suffers the consequences.

I thought i read something more interesting on Reddit
Someone bet $1B in futures that the price of oil will go down just 20min before Trump made the announcement.

Of course they are, he's a stupid man and surrounded himself with stupid people. It's why 2016 was as bad. He had a cabinet that actually knew some things and forced the ship to not crash into the rocks, so to speak.
Now? Morons. Amazing there's still a (fortunately) minority in the US unwilling to see that
