Trump Orders Iran Deal Printed Upside Down To Reverse Obama

The White House insists diplomacy is strongest when every clause faces the other direction.

The White House treaty office began drafting the Iran proposal by holding the JCPOA binder in front of a mirror and renumbering every appendix backward.

Aides added a compliance chart labeled “NOT THAT,” with red arrows pointing away from uranium, China, and The New York Times.

“It is a rigorous diplomatic process, mostly involving the Caps Lock key,” said one arms-control analyst.

Congressional staff were told hearing questions must arrive on Form OPP-1, titled Exact Opposite Certification, in blue ink and moral certainty.
