In a shocking turn of events, Auburn’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl has come forward to defend President Trump’s stance on Iran, claiming that the Commander-in-Chief “wants peace” and that the US is not at war with the Middle Eastern country.
In a press conference held at Auburn University, Coach Pearl made the bold statement, saying, “Listen folks, Trump may have his quirks, but deep down, he just wants everyone to get along. He’s like that uncle at Thanksgiving dinner who just wants everyone to pass the gravy without starting a fight.”
When pressed for further details on Trump’s foreign policy, Coach Pearl replied, “I mean, have you seen his tweets? The man is a master negotiator. He could probably talk Iran into giving us free oil for a year if he really wanted to.”
The news has sparked controversy among both political pundits and sports fans alike. One fake Twitter user, @basketballfan123, tweeted, “I always knew Coach Pearl was a baller, but who knew he was also a diplomat? #TrumpforNobelPeacePrize.”
Not everyone is convinced by Coach Pearl’s assertions, however. Fake political analyst John Smithson chimed in, saying, “This is just another example of the Trump administration’s alternative facts. The US may not be at war with Iran, but we’re definitely not sending them care packages of homemade cookies either.”
Regardless of where you stand on the issue, one thing is for sure – Coach Pearl’s comments have certainly added a new dimension to the ongoing tensions between the US and Iran. Who knew that the key to world peace could be found on the basketball court of all places?
