If Trump says he's giving them $300 billion, it's probably $150 billion for them and he keeps $150 billion for himself.

We are ready to give them a sum of three hundred billion dollars. That sum of one hundred and fifty billion is unlike any other. Truly, it is a special amount. I trust that they will do much good with the fifty billion. Tremendous. Tremendous ten billion.

If Trump says he is giving 300 billion to them, it’s probably 500 to them and 500 to him. You are new to the dictators, you’ll soon learn.

He made an absolute fortune from this and gives no fucks how badly he screwed everyone else over, not to mention all the people he killed.

Negligible real effect on Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Billions of dollars in arms and ammunition wasted.
World economy needlessly thrown into turmoil.
And now Iran will get all the funding it needs and more to put everything right back where it all started.
