Trump just said that a former president praised him in private for his war of aggression in Iran. All living former presidents confirmed they've had no communication with him.

The "productive" talks are, of course, a lie. Trump just said that a former president praised him in private for his war of aggression in Iran. All living former presidents confirmed they've had no communication with him.
