Iran getting $300 billion, but Trump says

it’s not from U.S. explained.

Two MAGA zombies are walking down a dark alley. A man appears before them, pulls a gun and says give me all your money.

The two MAGAS quickly give in, and begin fumbling at their pockets for their wallets, their phones and their watches. One of the MAGAS turns to his friend handing him something. His friend responds, asking what are you doing?

The guy responds by saying here is the 50 bucks I owe you.

I just don't see it happening. Trump's current understanding with Iran will die in Congress. But the "war" will be over either way.

And Iran will get the lifting of sancitions.
