[88063] Trump's Reminder: Iran has never lost a negotiation
Amusing footage published online shows an exchange where President Trump did not recognize a quote of his own regarding Iran's diplomatic conduct.
The Trump quote incident: "Iran has never lost a negotiation"
Footage showing an amusing moment in an exchange between President Donald Trump and reporter Peter Doocy was circulated on social media last night. In the conversation, which was cited by many media channels, including Amit Segal and YINONEWS - Yinon Magal, the reporter presented Trump with a statement from November 2020: "Iran has never won a war, but has never lost a negotiation."
When asked by Doocy "Who said that?", the President replied with a question of his own: "Who said that?". In response, the reporter revealed that the quote belonged to Donald Trump himself. The footage was circulated among media figures identified with right-wing positions, such as Torat Lechima - For the IDF and 301 News - The Arab World, under headlines highlighting the embarrassment of the situation.
The reports, which were also published on channels such as Israel News IL and Israel News | Without Censorship, presented the incident as a lighthearted moment within the American political system, using the original quote as a tool to emphasize Trump's worldview regarding Iranian foreign policy. It appears that the engagement with the event was intended to emphasize Trump's consistency in his criticism of Tehran's diplomatic strategy over the years.
