Then you have like Donald Trump, like making up fake stories about himself.

So earlier yesterday, he posts this story, which most people claim is just not true at all to the Iranian leaders who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives.

i would greatly appreciate the release of these women i'm sure they will respect the fact that you did so please do them no harm it's frankly unclear who this who these women are there are some people say the photo looks like it's ai generated i'm not going to doubt that there may be eight women in iran who are in prison right now and may be facing serious consequences but

I'm not sure it's these individuals and it's not a death penalty sentence.

People who have looked into this have said, yeah, I'm not really sure who these people are.

Regardless, most people believe this entire story is like completely fake and that there was no imminent execution.

But then Donald Trump announces that

He secured the deal himself to release these women.

He saved the women, he says.

Very good news.

I've just been informed that the eight women protesters who are going to be executed will no longer be killed.

Four will be released immediately and four will be sentenced to one month in prison.

I very much appreciate that Iran saying, dude, what?

I mean, Iran's doing all these Lego videos and all these social media posts mocking Donald Trump.

But Iran's like, what the hell are you talking about?

You've just made up a fake story about these women.

That's not true.

We're not talking to you at all, period.

We didn't release these women based on what you've said.

We didn't release these women.
