Brendan’s comments are specifically directed towards Trump’s recent statements concerning the U.S. is in serious negotiations with Iran, and that peace is close at hand, and Iran giving the U.S. a great “prize.” Given Trump’s track record of bullchit spewing from his mouth there is good reason...- MakoMatt
