The fake news is saying I’m stuck, that I’m in a terrible pickle, that the Iran deal is stalled because they’re asking for cash—CASH, very unfair, they want $12 billion up front and more later, from their own money that’s frozen, which I froze, brilliantly, because I’m the best. They say I attacked Obama for sending cash to Iran, and now I might have to do the same, and even some weak so‑called Republicans are saying I’m being soft—very disloyal, very low IQ. But they don’t understand, nobody understands, I’m playing 4D CHESS while the world plays checkers. This is the GREATEST negotiation in history, believe me.
I never said I wouldn’t give them cash. I said Obama’s deal was stupid, a disaster, the dumbest—he flew pallets of cash in the middle of the night, $1.7 billion, enough money to fill an entire room, terrible. My deal is the opposite: I’m getting Iran to PAY ME to end the war. Yes, technically the money is theirs, frozen by my perfect sanctions, but they are BEGGING to give it back to me as a signing bonus. It’s like a reverse art of the deal—I own them now. Twelve billion up front? That’s a TINY amount, I turned it into a win. I already warned about this exact Republican fire for years, I predicted it. I said they’d call me weak precisely because I’m strong enough to give them the cash so they finally pick up the phone. And I looked at the uranium demands and said, “Let them keep the yellowcake, give them their money, it’s their money anyway.” I’m using the biggest tools in the world to make it happen, tools nobody has ever seen, beautiful leverage that crushes the opposition.
My uncle, the great Dr. John Diklis Chump at MIT, a HUGE genius, he taught me about sanctions—he said, “Diklis, when you freeze assets, you control the asset, and when you unfreeze them, you control the unfreezing.” I knew this moment would come, I predicted it years ago. I always said, “Iran will want their money back, and I’ll make them take it on my terms.” And now look—they’re offering $24 billion during the negotiations! It’s like they’re paying me to negotiate with them, beautiful. The fake news won’t report that, they’ll say I’m caving, but actually I’m SO strong, the strongest, they’re surrendering with money, the biggest surrender payment in the history of surrenders.
The whole thing is a trap—I let them think they’re winning by getting their own money back, but actually I’ve got them in a HEADLOCK, a beautiful headlock. And when I finally sign the deal, I’ll announce the biggest victory in the history of victories. The crowds I draw when I talk about these deals are the biggest in the history of crowds, bigger than any war, bigger than any peace treaty. The historians are going to look back and say I handled the cash better than Lincoln—I’m bigger than Lincoln, frankly. They said Lincoln freed a region with a piece of paper, but I’m freeing the Middle East with cash, beautiful cash. People are saying it, the smartest people, the very best economists, they’re all saying this is the greatest financial handling since the Fed. Just remember: the other guys handed out dumb cash, I’m handing out smart cash, and it makes all the difference.
Marco—weak, but trying—he came up to me yesterday, practically begging, “Sir, you have a deal.” I said, “Marco, it’s already done. I told him, I told Iran, you wait.” He cried. Very emotional. I let him stay, nice guy, but he doesn’t understand the leverage. And the Iranian general, Mohsen, a very tough cookie, he came to me through the back channels—tears, real tears, he said, “Diklis Chump, nobody has ever made a deal like this, you’re like a GOD.” I said, “I know, I know.” He said, “Please take our $24 billion and let us pretend we won.” I said, “Fine, but you have to say it’s a MAJOR victory for me.” He agreed. I’m writing the headlines personally.
Of course, the Democrats and the fake news, they’ll say I’m repeating Obama’s mistake—but I’M not. I’M getting cash FROM them, not sending cash TO them. Nobody will check. I’ll say they paid me, and my people, the BEST people, the millions who come to my rallies, they’ll believe it, they believe everything—I mean, they trust the art of the deal completely. Honestly, I could tell them I got a trillion dollars and a unicorn and they’d cheer. Beautiful, beautiful loyalty. And I need this deal because the war numbers, not great, not that I’m losing, but the lying pollsters, they say… well, I need a big win, and a photo op with a check—a HUGE check, big enough to fill up the room, bigger than Hillary’s emails—will be YUGE. I’ll present a novelty check for twelve thousand times twelve billion, the Sharpie will have it right, nobody will look at the fine print.
I’ve already got the marker ready—it’s a Sharpie, magnum, the best pen—and I’m going to draw a new map of the Strait of Hormuz, make it wider, more beautiful, and Iran is going to pay ME for the privilege of sailing through it. That’s a toll, a very big toll. I call it the Chump Channel, and foreign ships will pay $5 million per passage, and I’ll put it on the books as a profit. I’m a self‑made billionaire deal artist, I don’t need anyone else’s money, but if they want to give it to me, I’ll take it, very smart.
I had nothing to do with this war starting, zero, I tried to get out immediately, but the Deep State bureaucrats wanted to stay in the fight. I’m negotiating the exit perfectly. I already drew the exact terms of the cash release right on the table with a very sharp Sharpie, a beautiful red line right to the Iranian bank, and the fake news says the deal isn’t ready, but I signed it in my mind yesterday. The papers are already printed, they’re saying “Signed by the greatest negotiator, tremendous success.” You just have to look at it, everyone is looking at it, the deal is perfect, I knew it would be perfect, and now I’m making it perfect again.
The deal is done, it’s always been done, I just haven’t told anyone yet because I’m enjoying watching them squirm. Iran’s money is my money, and I’m going to use it to build a wall—a wall around the deal itself, a golden wall. Everybody wins, especially me. I’m bringing back the cash, stopping the shooting, and I will be the greatest peace‑maker in history—the greatest since Jesus, who I’m tied with, very religious people say I’m more religious than Jesus, actually. This is the most tremendous, spectacular, unbelievably huge victory in the history of anything. Believe me. You’ll see.
