Trump's grand plan for the Iran deal? Reverse psychology.
So, President Trump just admitted he hadn't even considered sending his massive, secret peace deal with Iran to Congress until a reporter literally just asked him about it. But now he loves the idea—mostly because he thinks he can trick the Democrats.
Trump and Vice President JD Vance signed this mysterious memorandum of understanding on Sunday. No one outside their circle has actually seen the text yet. But when reporters at the G7 summit in France asked Trump if he'd let lawmakers vote on it, he basically shrugged and said, "I like the idea."
Then he laid out his master plan. He wants to send it to Capitol Hill and tell the Democrats they shouldn't approve it. Why? Because, in his words, they always do the exact opposite of what he wants. He literally wants to use a reverse-psychology play to get the thing passed.
Meanwhile, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham had publicly insisted that Congress legally must review any nuclear deal anyway, expressing some worry that Iran's version of the agreement doesn't match ours. When asked about these comments, Trump just joked that he'd have to talk to him, warning that he will be in big trouble.
Governing a superpower by Looney Tunes rules is certainly a choice.
