Trump is trying to get credit with China for intervening on their behalf in a war he started.
Kushner and Witkoff are ignorant hacks, part 245,699.
"Several nuclear experts have raised questions about the disastrous duoβs technical understanding of uranium enrichment after they presented an assessment of Iranβs Research Reactor that made no sense."

Or, I could do what I do, which is speak proper English regardless of the audience
Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"
It's rough out here on these teaching streets.
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Lindseyβs diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
