Trump is saying this because the Iranian Foreign Minister posted on X like an hour ago, that he doesn't know who Trump thinks he was talking to today, but it wasn't Iran.
Personally I think Trump is deep into senile dementia, and someone like Steven Miller is screening his calls and pretending to be whoever Trump wants to call, and just playing along. Like that time a couple weeks ago where Trump claimed he called the CEO of Sharpie and told them how to make better Sharpies, and Sharpie posted that they never spoke to the POTUS.

IIRC he wants to use it to sign documents on camera, so he wanted it to be black. During an official meeting, he was incoherently rambling about a conversation with the company in which they felt super flattered by that and offered him a personalised one, which the company denied ever occurring. You can make personalised pens on their website, so it wasn't even a new idea for the company. And probably how he obtained the one he owns.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they did say that. That’s the problem with having a world leader as immature and stupid as Trump.

They get whatever they want by doing so and continue to operate just like they were before.
News report comes out about Iran funded hesbolah attacking Israel. And Trump will come out and say no that’s fake news. They told me that they wouldn’t do it and I believe them. continue ad nauseam. It’s shameful
