Trump tipped his hand and revealed the new 'big lie' he's trying to sell: analyst

President Donald Trump has already revealed the next big lie that he plans to sell to Americans, a foreign policy analyst said.Robert Kagan, a contributing writer for The Atlantic and a foreign policy analyst, said during an appearance on CNN that Trump will try to frame his deal to end the Iran war as regime change and unconditional surrender.He added that Trump will deny that the money going to Iran is reparations for the war.He's all about the big lie, Kagan said. And this is going to be his big lie. I just don't think that even he, who is one of the great con artists of all time, can sell the American people on this being anything other than an American surrender.Kagan also pointed out, The one thing we're confident is happening is that Iran is going to get billions of dollars, tens of billions, and probably hundreds of billions of dollars in return for nothing, and described it as an easy tell that gives away Trump's lie.Now, that's called reparations, and if you look at history, reparations are paid by the loser to the winner, Kagan explained. In World War I, Germany paid reparations to Britain and France. If Germany had won the war, Britain and France would have paid the reparations, so that's how you know what happened in this war.In other words, Trump essentially paid the Iranians to give him a fig leaf that would allow him to come home and tell the Americans that everything is fine, Kagan summed up.
