Trump Issues A Correction Tweet, Morning Joe Hacks Swoon
Tweeting, in general, is a simple and easy act to perform. In the case of Donald Trump, he Tweeted a rare apology, but it was nothing more than a perfunctory gesture to cover for his lie about witnessing the plane which carried out the $400 million exchange for hostages/prisoners.
This was Iran's money, and we were returning it after they met their end of the bargain. Had we not done so, an international tribunal would rule in favor of Iran and it would end up costing us more than double that amount. Trump emphasized that the payment was made in cash because he doesn't understand that you can't perform a wired transfer if you have no banking relationship with a country. His troglodyte fans heard about small and very very big containers filled with money and booed as expected. Here's Donald's 'apology' for only one of thousands of lies he's told.
The plane I saw on television was the hostage plane in Geneva, Switzerland, not the plane carrying $400 million in cash going to Iran!
