Political discussions about everything

(CNN)-
Donald Trump backed off a false claim Friday morning, admitting he had not seen a video of a $400 million payment being unloaded from a US plane in Iran.

The Republican nominee had claimed at rallies twice this week that such a video existed, saying in Maine on Thursday that it was provided by Iranians "to embarrass our president because we have a president who's incompetent."

What Trump had actually seen in news reports was video of three American prisoners who Iran had released arriving in Geneva, Switzerland.

Trump has made criticism of the US delivery of $400 million in cash via a plane to Iran -- the first installment of $1.7 billion in payments related to a decades-old dispute over an unfulfilled us arms purchase before the Iranian revolution cut relations between the two countries and settled at the same time Iran released four American prisoners -- a staple this week on the campaign trail.

But Wednesday in Florida and Thursday in Maine, he went a step further, claiming he'd seen video of the cash actually being delivered in Iran.

"It was interesting because a tape was made. Right? You saw that? With the airplane coming in -- nice plane -- and the airplane coming in, and the money coming off, I guess. Right? That was given to us, has to be, by the Iranians," Trump said in Portland, Maine.

"And you know why the tape was given to us? Because they want to embarrass our country. They want to embarrass our country. And they want to embarrass our president because we have a president who's incompetent. They want to embarrass our president," Trump said. "I mean, who would ever think they would be taking all of this money off the plane and then providing us with a tape? It's only for one reason. And it's very, very sad."

Oh come on, that's the video being run constantly on CNN.

Stop trying to make silly debating points.

The Left Wing is manic to destroy Trump's character because Hillary CANNOT have a substantive debate on policy.

Every policy with which she was involved was a disaster -- Libya, Syria, the Rose Law Firm billing records, Travelgate, trying to slam Lewinsky before the DNA proved it was Bill who was the liar, etc.

AssClown Loser Lucky cannot refute a single point made by Forbes but thinks a string of emotions is a substantive rebuttal.

Is it any wonder I can consistently punk this loser?

There was an Arab expert on TV last night saying that, on such matters as the terms of a hostage exchange and the amount of the ransom, the Arabs have a history of telling the truth.

And it was clearly a ransom -- cash, unmarked bags, a private plane at night...

Iran is openly gloating that they got everything they wanted in the nuke deal and gave the United States nothing, they're even bragging they will continue with their nuclear programs then will wipe Israel off the map. They're also very open that the 400 million was for the release of the hostages and demonstrates how powerful Iran is considered by the United States.

All this so Obama could check off "Nuke deal with Iran' from his bucket list. He's already checked of "Affordable Health Care for all Americans" His next one will be "Close Gitmo" All those items are all about Obama and have nothing to do about making American better or safer. What ever it takes to check them off his list.

Tool, of course they are gloating they got everything they wanted and we got nothing. The Iranian government is dealing with their own morons who are comparable in stupidity to yourself.
You're so stupid you haven't even noticed Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon and they haven't attacked Israel in the past week. Gee, I wonder why?

The question is, are you really stupid enough to believe everything the Iranian government tells you?
That's a rhetorical question, obviously. Your previous post demonstrates that you are. :lol:

Well let's see if we got $150 Billion, our top nuclear scientist released from American prison, all charges dropped against 7 caught importing nuclear components to Iran, $100 million for each hostage, sanctions dropped and access to jets and other weapons, all for "signing' a document we said we won't honor...I would be gloating too!
