Donald Trump has claimed Iran is negotiating with the U.S. to end the current war but is “afraid” to admit it.

The 79-year-old president made the remark at the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual fundraising dinner on Wednesday evening.

“They are negotiating, by the way,” Trump claimed of Iran. “They want to make a deal so badly but they are afraid to say it. Because they figure they will be killed by their own people. They are also afraid they will be killed by us.”

His comments directly contradict Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, who said the country was not in negotiations with the U.S. over a resolution to the war and had “no intention” to have any such conversations.

Speaking on Iran’s state TV news channel, he said the U.S. had been “sending various messages through different intermediaries” for several days.

Cry wolf harder there moron.

    This guy wrote a book called “The Art of the Deal”. That’s hilarious.

      He didn’t write it, he paid someone to write it for him. Like all of his college and high school essays.

        And he made a terrible deal with his ghost writer. Dude got Trump to agree to credit him on the cover and give him half the royalties.

      First, Trump made one of the worst deals ever with ‘Art Of The Deal’ The ghostwriter got cover credit and half the royalties, something unheard of in publishing.

      Second, after having had access to Trump, the writer left and stayed away from him. He’s spent decades tellign the world what a POS Trump is.
