A Democratic political analyst was floored on Sunday after President Donald Trump's lying about negotiations to end the war in Iran seemed to come back to bite him. Over the weekend, Trump said the White House was preparing to send another delegation to Pakistan to negotiate the end of the war in Iran. The deployment follows Vice President JD Vance's unsuccessful trip to the Middle East last week to secure a deal.
Trump's announcement seemed to catch the Iranian counterparts off-guard, as Iranian state media reported that Iranian officials were unaware that talks had been scheduled. The news floored Adam Mockler, a Democratic analyst and founder of Mockler Media, who asked Trump in a new reaction video on YouTube, How do you screw up this badly? Iran wasn't privy to any more negotiations, yet Donald Trump announced that we're sending JD Vance and an entire delegation over to Pakistan for negotiations, Mockler said. But the question is, negotiations with whom? Iran isn't even privy to any of this again. How do you screw up this badly on the global stage?Mockler added that Trump's lying was sending him down a path where he is losing credibility with world leaders. That could come back to bit him as he seeks a way to end the war in Iran. He is straight-up lying about negotiations that aren't taking place, Mockler said.
