Trump threatens to read Iran peace deal to the media 'word by word'

President Donald Trump on Tuesday attempted to deflect questions about the content of his purported deal to end his war with Iran by promising to read the text of the deal to journalists "in a couple of days."

Speaking at a bilateral meeting with United Arab Emirates President Mohamed bin Zayed at the G7 summit in France, Trump said he was waiting for a "formal setting" to release the text of the full deal.

"I'll not only release it — I'll probably have a press conference and read it to you word by word, so that the press covers it accurately," Trump said before comparing the as-yet unseen text to the detailed nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the five permanent U.N. Security Council members during the Obama administration.

The president's remarks came less than a day after two senior U.S. officials told reporters the text of the agreement would be released publicly for "full transparency" and to prove there are no "side agreements" being hidden from the public.

of a child first learning their "a, b, c's"... Not to mention his dementia that renders him unable to keep to topic at hand for about 30 seconds at best.

We never got to hear the complete text publicly. Or some secret documents that UFOs shot JFK. Even Trump's advisors know that this is a bad idea. Because it is full Trump.

Half the time I mistake The Onion for the real thing, and now I suppose, I'll begin mistaking the real thing for The Onion.
