STRAIT TALK: During the hour and twenty minutes of his Wednesday Cabinet meeting that was televised, President Donald Trump flatly rejected all of Iran’s demands that were outlined in an unofficial draft floated by Iranian media, insisting he is under no pressure to accept a bad deal.

“I can say that we can make a good deal right now, but maybe not a great deal, and if it’s not a great deal, we’re not making it,” Trump told reporters. “They thought they were going to outwait me,” he said. “You know. ‘We’ll outwait him. He’s got the midterms.’ I don’t care about the midterms.”
