Trump says US doesn’t need a deal with Iran
Alarabiya ^ | 11/12/2026

Posted on 11/12/2026 5:46:39 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

President Donald Trump said on Thursday he wanted Vice President JD Vance to focus “his complete and total attention” on any crime and corruption in Democratic-run US cities, saying that effort could save more money than a deal with Iran.

“Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood!” Trump wrote on social media.

“We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!”

Vance has participated recently in outreach to Iran.

And we’re back to balancing the federal budget by cracking down on fraud, waste and abuse?

Iran is not worried in the least. As soon as President Trump is gone, they will get their money back, they will be allowed to continue their nuke program without oversight they can start mass killings of protestors and start exporting terrorism on a massive scale and will and NO ONE is going to stop them, in fact I suspect that they will be cheered on by the Libs.

Until entitlements are reduced or eliminated, the Federal budget cannot be balanced.

That’s where a lot of the waste, fraud and abuse is hiding.

Yup. Attacking fraud, waste and abuse is fine, but it won’t scratch the surface of the problem.

Meanwhile the dems promise to fleece Elon Musk and ten of his rich friends.

A majority of the voters are idiots. And 90 percent of the press is incompetent or dishonest.

Seeking a “deal” with IRGC and the ayatollahs of Iran is a fool’s errand anyway. Those people are very practiced in the art of taqiyya and unlikely to keep any sort of promise the might make at the table.

A deal with Iran is futile and would be laughable. Finish the job!

The negotiations have driven me nuts. Question one is “Will you forswear a nuclear program?” Question 2 is “Will you allow unfettered international traffic through the strait?” The answer to both questions is no, so I don’t see what there is to talk about

Didn’t W Bush get the green light to end Iran? He failed to act so we’re having to deal with a worse situation.

“Wiping them out” might very well involve nuking Tehran into dust and killing millions of people. To me, that’s unthinkable. We’ll see what happens but I just can’t go there in my mind. The warmongers here can have fun with the scenarios at their keyboards.

What is the budget deficit now, 2 trillion or so? That is probably more than is spent on all the items targeted for fraud reduction. That spending, all of it, would have to be eliminated to even get close to balancing the annual fed budget.

Just like ending the war with Iran, this claim by Trump is just more of his BS.

Voters are stupid but Trump fueled their resentment. What they think they will get from the dimocraps I don’t know, amnesty, more trinkets, open borders, anarchy?

Thus, after the White House previously announced deals (50 times or so…), saying that Iran “desperately WANTED a deal”,…. Here we are.

The fact is that Iran NEVER wanted a deal. They feel like they are controlling the strait of Hormuz, and their weapons arsenal is being restored by Russia and China at light speed.

““Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity.”

I doubt it. The 2026 federal deficit is about 2 trillion.

The KGB/IRGC never wanted a deal. They just wanted concessions. They have the guns. They run Iran.

All the IRN diplomats and politicians are for display purposes only.

As soon as IRGC rearms they will attack oil distribution. It should be about the time Russia has repaired its production and export capacity.

These fantasies seem the national pass time on FR. Sure, let's level Tehran. Then we can send them to Iran to pull the dead and mangled babies, children, and women out of the rubble. That is probably part of their keyboard fantasy too.
