Pakistan is playing some 5-D chess, here. Butter up the raging narcissist by flattering his ego, in the hopes that he backs down on Iran or risks losing his Nobel prize nomination.
Foreign countries know exactly what they’re doing this time around when it comes to manipulating Trump. I think last time they were surprised just how easy and stupid it was and now Saudia Arabia is just like “yeah throw some McDonald’s paint on a trailer and give him a happy meal, he’ll sign whatever we want”.
It’s literally his MO either through incompetence or hubris, he consistently plants landlines for both himself and others:
Crash out of the JCPOA despite Iranian compliance and the EU trying to maintain the deal without the US, setting the stage for the current crisis
Completely disregard the Palestinian question in the Abraham Accords, signaling to Hamas(/Iran) that the window is closing and soon the whole Gulf will be onboard with permanent Israeli domination of Palestine
Give the Taliban whatever they want in the Doha Accords, but in a timeline that forces it to be the next President’s problem
Publicly declare he’ll solve Ukraine-Russia in 100 days… signaling the limits of his patience, and that Putin only needs to delay, delay, delay

Smart. He actually might fall for it.

The dude is a very very stupid child.
He already caused Israel attacking Iran in the first place:
So he definitely does not deserve the nomination, but yeah, maybe he can be manipulated into backing off.
It’s literally his MO either through incompetence or hubris, he consistently plants landlines for both himself and others:
He’s playing checkers. They’re playing Go
He’s playing Pigeon Chess.
He’s playing with his ding-a-ling.
Totally, this is how you play Trump if you don’t have a handwritten letter from your king
