Is none and they won the propaganda war beyond measure. Legos videos really touched every nerve. Yet we are not dumb, their moral police make Epstein victims story seem like a skinned knee! Sooooo , Huston we have a serious problem here! Religious tyranny is right up Republicans alley.

They gave up some of their missiles and drones on our bases.

I'd love to see if they can name any other war where the winner was on the hook for reparations.

I’ve never been MAGA, but I can answer this: Iran oil on the open market. All sanctions lifted, it will substantially drive down the price of global oil. Of course, Iran going to make a lot more money but gas may go under $2/gal.

MJ Howson · Jun 18

They can’t because they get all their news from Fox and all Fox tells them is the Obama deal was terrible and Trump is fixing it and making it better.

That's one heavy question for a MAGAt. Start by asking them if they can spell Iran.

I had a psych professor, in grad school, who it always slip one of these unanswerable questions in somewhere on an exam. I think that was the entire point of the exam which was to figure out which of the problems posed to us to figure out was unanswerable! You win!

Well, before the Israel US war, they wanted the US to fail but they respected US military. That’s gone. Does that count?

Or that wasn’t already included in the previous agreement…?

Josh · Jun 18

Good question. As a mental exercise I reviewed the MOU and tried to come up with one, because I figured no MAGA would respond on here and I couldn't find one. The best I could come up with is the commitment of Iran not to initiate any military action. But that's not really a concession.

There wasn't a fee to use the Strait of Hormuz before, so we won that.

You wouldn’t be talking about what did they give up if you hadn’t gone in there and punched them in the face in the first place

The 2 serious events in Trump's time and he F up both of them. 1 - Covid 19 a million Americans died and 2 - the Iran War we lost the Americans, any real input in the Middle East and half a TRILLION TAX PAY DOLLARS. THe Trump years SUCK and are a BIG TIME SUCK

$300 billion to Iran divided by 155 million US taxpayers means that every taxpayer in the US is sending $2000 to Iran on behalf of Donald Trump.

Trumps deal is twice the value the allies made Germany pay for WW1 which as a result led directly to WW2. THIS DEAL WILL LED TO WAR IN THE END.

Iran conceded to taking more money. Does that count?

No. They cannot.

This was literally a war of Trumps making. Without TRUMP tearing up the original agreement, Iran would not have developed near MILITARY GRADE "nuclear dust" What an IDIOT!

Did I hear that the Iran requirement that includes a stipulation that Israel does not attack Lebanon? What idiot would sign an agreement based on another country's obedience to the document without them signing too?? Israel already told Trump they would not stop. Another game by Trump.

dcweber · Jun 19

Apparently the cost of one white flag is $300 billion (plus concessions).

Ryan Imp · Jun 19

Don’t worry- they’ll make one up. Like “Jill Biden is a man”. Legit overheard this. From some overweight, middle-aged bald dude… doubtful his wife could age as well as Jill. Completely irrelevant and untrue. Weirdest shit ever. Same about Michelle Obama. I think they actually believe it! 🤯🖕🏼🤬

Bill · Jun 19

Trump dismantled Obama's solid treaty, where Iran could not enrich uranium beyond a basic level. Now, after a war that cost 100 billion, and the deaths of 13 Americans & hundreds of Iranians, & the destruction of many of our military bases, Trump is going to pay Iran 300 billion and Iran controls .

@girlmom72.bsky.social · Jun 19

The memorandum commits the United States to supporting the establishment of a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, and it opens the door to the unfreezing of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets held around the world!! Trumps deal only HELPS IRAN while Americans PAY!!! #TrumpFAILS

Sigh, Adam, you are using big words. They only associate concsssion with hot dog stand. Beula and susy jim are probabaly cackling about how you think "...them thaee eeeeraneeeeeins even know wutt a hawt dawg even is." But yeah....

@grnlght.bsky.social · Jun 18

They gave up 160 children and a school that they had before the war and don't now.

Mitch Middleton · Jun 19

One concession? They have a kebab stand at Freedom 250.

Kiss my Tiara · Jun 19

Nope. Nary a one.

@jamie6058.bsky.social · Jun 19

Not a Maga, but before the war, the idea of paying to cross the straight was commonly referred to as a "toll", but Iran conceded and agreed to call it a "fee" instead. It's an amazing concession. Books will be written, movies made, and historians will stand in awe of Trump's deal making prowess.

Tim the Terrible · Jun 19

They have to concede that they took advantage of a simpleton

@debbmatt.bsky.social · Jun 18

It is highly likely that among the behind the scenes concessions, the Iranians agreed to not laugh out loud in public when Trump says things like “I’m the boss”.

@puppydelay.bsky.social · Jun 19

Resounding NO! But I'm not sure if even this outrageous "deal" is righteous and a done deal! Iran owns him, as does Putin!

Adam, do you think there are more still-Republican and/or former Republicans who think like you or more who are full-on MAGA hardliners? This last 17 months have been hard on everyone, and I'm wondering if the tide is turning on support from hardliners for Trump & his Administration.

Trump's a stupid ass

Andrew Greenlaw · Jun 19

This deal requires Trump to become the 1st US president to compel an Israeli gov't to stop killing, so that'l be fun to watch. Also, there's the symbolism of Trump signing the deal in Versailles, where Germany surrendered in 1919. Not concessions, but a def gift to the world..

One concession? Why would they? We have destroyed Iran from the ground up. Killed more than a million innocent Iranian women men and children. Used conventional Biological and chemical weapons on their citizens. Destroyed their economy. Starved to death their citizens. In the name of Israel.

No real ones, but that's okay for them because they hate honesty and the truth.
