  • The newly 80-year-old president of the United States is in France for the G7 Summit.

  • Reporters keep asking about the peace deal.

  • He says he'll be signing with Iran this Friday, mostly because no one knows the deets.

  • He gave him $1.7 billion in cash, green cash from banks.

  • But the president wants to talk about Barack Obama.

  • They tried to bribe their way out of it.

  • And you know what the Iranians did?

  • They laughed at Obama and they said he's a stupid son of a bitch.

  • Why so salty, sir?

  • Oh, JK Rowling, I know why.

  • President Trump didn't achieve any of his objectives in the war with Iran.

  • A war that's cost Americans maybe $100 billion so far?

  • And Trump might end up giving Iran $300 billion to settle this war.

  • Compare that to Obama's...

  • 1.7 billion and hundreds of millions of dollars.

  • Iran won the war.
