Policy expert flags telling detail in Trump post: 'This clearly was not written by him'

On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced via social media that a negotiated settlement with Iran to end the war had “been largely negotiated," but on Sunday, a foreign policy expert raised doubts about whether the president himself authored the post, and what that may reveal about the ongoing negotiations.“First of all, there's no misspellings, there [are] no grammatical errors, there are no attempts at humiliating any side. He's got the titles and the names of each of these different world leaders correct,” said Trita Parsi, an Iranian-Swedish writer, political analyst and co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, during an appearance on “Breaking Points.”“I'm mentioning this because before, we have seen Truth Social posts by the president in which he says 'we're really close [to a deal with Iran],' and it's not a serious post – it is timed to manipulate the markets, it doesn't have any indication that anyone else has reviewed the post in any way shape or form.”He added, “This clearly was not written by him alone, although it does have his flavor to it as well towards the end.”As to why Trump may allow someone other than himself to author a social media post on his personal Truth Social account, Parsi suggested it to be a form of protection from domestic right-wing figures that have urged him to walk away from negotiations and resume the war against Iran.“It gives him a certain degree of protection here in Washington,” Parsi said. “We saw the massive meltdown of warmongers last night when this was first announced, and even before it was announced when they were getting notice that this was coming. They were just in a public panic.”In his announcement, Trump named nearly a dozen world leaders that had helped in negotiations between Washington and Tehran. Their inclusion, Parsi claimed, may have been a pro-active attempt to get ahead of right-wing critics of a deal to end the war.“For him to be able to say 'look, I'm doing it because all of these regional leaders are asking me to do this' is very important,” Parsi said. “Not just to be able to show the regional anchoring of this, but also to be able to deflect the criticism that invariably will come, which is 'you abandoned Israel.' Well, perhaps Israel had abandoned the United States by manipulating the United States into this war in the first place.”

Trump posts image of Obama in prison jumpsuit: 'Very sick'

Donald Trump posted an image Sunday morning on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and several of his top national security officials dressed in orange prison jumpsuits, in what appears to be a direct threat against a former president and his allies.The image, styled as a Brady Bunch-style grid of mugshots, showed Obama — labeled "Barack Hussein Obama" — alongside former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, former UN Ambassador Samantha Power, former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, and former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, who was labeled 'Ben "Hamas" Rhodes.' The graphic was captioned with, "The Shady Bunch.""This is a bad (Sick!) group of people," Trump wrote. "Very destructive to our great Nation. Caused tremendous damage through Weaponization! President DJT"The post comes as Trump's Justice Department has moved aggressively against perceived political enemies. Trump has repeatedly suggested — without evidence — that Obama-era officials engaged in illegal surveillance and other misconduct against his 2016 campaign, a conspiracy theory his supporters refer to as "Obamagate."
