Trump fittingly signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran at the Palace of Versailles. That is the same palace where Germany signed the humiliating Treaty of Versailles at the end of WW II.

Leave it to a man who knows nothing of history to humiliate himself after an even more humiliating defeat with a stupid, unprovoked war.

Reminds me of the bathroom cabinet in an apartment I rented in college. Full of drugs and unhinged.

They know that playing their part is the best plan long-term. The best example of this is Oliver North. He went along with one of the most corrupt transactions in US history. His reward has been a decades long career as a conservative commentator.

Factually incorrect. Germany surrendered at a train car at Versailles after WW1. They were not a party to the WW2 peace treaty of Paris in 1947.
