Trump Rechristens Diplomacy as 'Vibes-Based Understanding,' Allies Mystified

It appears the art of international negotiation has been entirely redefined, much to the bewilderment of anyone who's ever bothered to read a treaty. President Trump, fresh from a G7 summit where he reportedly introduced the concept of 'feeling good' about a deal, announced that allies 'love' the preliminary arrangement with Iran. Details of this ground-breaking, emotion-first agreement remain, shall we say, fluid, much like abstract expressionism or a particularly spirited game of charades. A U.S. official, presumably after several hours of interpretive dance and divining rod consultations, eventually provided what was described as "the text" of the deal. Sources close to the proceedings suggest this "text" may have been a hastily scribbled grocery list or a sonnet composed entirely of emojis. Meanwhile, diplomats from established nations were observed furiously consulting their Wikipedia apps for the definition of 'precedent,' while simultaneously wondering if their own policy documents should henceforth only contain motivational posters and affirmations.
