As we watch the president navigate the ongoing interactions with the remaining leadership in Iran, it’s worth reminding ourselves: President Trump has done hundreds of deals. He also walked away from probably three times as many deals.
The thousands of commentators with little to zero knowledge of negotiations are just guessing.
Here’s what we know:
First: President Trump has the crucial experience, and:
Second: the D Team in Iran doesn’t.
No president in 47 years has dealt Iran blows like this. President Trump isn’t going to trade massive leverage for the approval of states that aren’t our allies.
President Trump is very good at the close. He's not going to get taken. He's walked away from a lot of tables. If it's a bad deal or the Iranians do the bait and switch deal, he will walk away again and I hope combat would resume. But right now, we just don't know.
I just don't think the president is going to get fooled.
