Persian rugs have been made in what is now Iran for 2,000 years. They’ve been bought and sold there just as long. Wars have been fought in Persia for twice as long as they’ve been trading rugs. They know every nook and cranny of that country of mountain ranges and deserts and foothills and valleys and waterfront on the Persian Gulf – there’s that word “Persia” again – because it’s been their land for thousands of years. Today, Donald Trump went into the rug shop and this is what he said when he came out: “They are talking to us, and they’re making sense.” Here is what Ebrahim Zolfaqari, the spokesperson for the unified command of Iran’s armed ⁠forces, said in response to Trump. “Has the level of your inner ⁠struggle reached the stage ⁠of you negotiating with yourself?”

    See, that’s what you don’t do when you walk into the rug shop in the bazaar in the Middle East, where they’ve been buying and selling things and negotiating with each other for several thousand years. You don’t tell the rug merchant what you want. You wait for him to tell you what price he’s charging.
