OSINTdefender @sentdefenderSpeaking to reporters earlier at the White House, President Trump mentions and vaguely talks about a mysterious present given to the United States yesterday by Iran:
Because they're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me, were dealing with the right people. No, it wasn't nuclear related. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did.

(102,571 posts)Probably the truest thing he's ever said though he isn't thinking of any part of the Americas other than the 49 states of the US. Corn/maize actually is indigenous to the Americas, Central and South America mostly. So are potatoes.

(79,009 posts)Were I to speculate, I would say "none." The president would seem very unlikely to ever tell the truth. There is little to no reason to think that he mistakenly was honest about this. Dogs bark, cats meow, he lies.
