See, all you can do is characterize, but you want to talk about the details.
The details are that Stephen Biegun, who worked for Donald Trump, gave a speech and said, you know what?
We can put normalization first and denuclearization later.
I know him very well.
Donald Trump brought John Bolton to the meeting, and he prevented that from being the message of the meeting and ruined the deal.
It's all John Bolton's fault.
Because how reasonable does it sound to you, Lex?
Give up all your nuclear weapons first.
Then we'll talk about every other issue.
Does that sound like a poison pill or that sounds like a reasonable negotiation?
Give me a break.
Yeah.
Well, they got nowhere because Trump brought John Bolton with him and helped to ruin it.
This is ridiculous.

You talk about Iranian support for al-Qaeda.
