Nobody suggested he did.
But as you well know, he repeatedly claimed he could end it...
And in less than a day.

Quote:Who was the last President who didnt lie to the American public
Thought for 5s
No such US president has ever existed. Every single one has made false or misleading statements at some point—whether through exaggeration, omission, self-deception, political necessity, or outright lies.
theconversation.com
Key points:George Washington is often mythologized as perfectly honest due to the famous (completely fabricated) cherry tree story: "Father, I cannot tell a lie." That tale was invented by biographer Mason Locke Weems years after Washington's death to promote moral lessons. Washington was a man of strong character, but he was not literally incapable of falsehoods, and there's no evidence he "never lied."
britannica.com
Jimmy Carter came closest in modern times to the image of radical honesty. As a candidate, he famously vowed, "I will never lie to you" (or "I will not tell a lie to the American people"). He was widely seen as decent and truthful, and his reputation for honesty endured. However, even Carter made statements that were false or misleading (as all leaders do under pressure). His extreme candor is often cited as one reason his presidency struggled politically.
washingtonpost.com
Historians and fact-checkers broadly agree that all American presidents have lied knowingly in public statements at times—from Washington onward. Lies range from minor spin to major deceptions (e.g., on wars, scandals, or policy). It's inherent to the job of leading, especially in a democracy with competing interests, intelligence, and politics.
theconversation.com
The question assumes a binary of "never lied ever," but human beings (and especially politicians) aren't wired that way. Some were more honest than others, but zero is the record. If you're looking for the "most honest" by reputation, Carter is frequently named in that conversation—but he doesn't qualify as never having lied.

All we get is more anti-Trump, anti-America bullshit from these guys.
They didn't give a shit about the last 8-10 presidents before him and 1 in between not following through with campaign promises but now they want to hold Trump to a higher standard.
He's followed through with a lot he campaigned on and a few things are tougher to do especially with the con artist Democrats stonewalling him at every turn.
Keep clutching your pearls Libs and wannabe Libs.

Not sure we’ve had a decent prez in my lifetime. But the land of milk of honey has been in decline for awhile. I’m sure it’s has NOTHING to do with being at war in the ME for over half my life. Pretty sure. Americans have gotten poorer, MIC and Big Oil? Record profits and contracts.

Trump was supposed to sanction the uranium out of them...
Quote:How long has Iran been under sanctions and when were were the first sanctions introduced
Thought for 3s
Iran has been under U.S. sanctions (in various forms) for roughly 45–47 years as of 2026, dating back to the 1979 Iranian Revolution and hostage crisis.
europarl.europa.eu
First SanctionsThe first sanctions were introduced by the United States in November 1979. These followed the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by Iranian students, who took American diplomats hostage. President Jimmy Carter issued Executive Order 12170, which froze Iranian government assets in the U.S. (around $8–12 billion) and imposed a trade embargo (banning Iranian imports to the U.S. and restricting exports).
atlanticcouncil.org
These initial sanctions were lifted in January 1981 as part of the Algiers Accords, which resolved the hostage crisis.
en.wikipedia.org
Subsequent DevelopmentsReimposed and expanded in the 1980s: Sanctions returned in response to Iran's actions in the Persian Gulf (e.g., during the Iran-Iraq War) and its support for terrorism. By 1987, broader measures were in place.
en.wikipedia.org
1995 onward: President Clinton issued executive orders for a comprehensive U.S. trade embargo and expanded sanctions (e.g., on firms investing in Iran's oil sector via the 1996 Iran Sanctions Act). These targeted Iran's support for terrorism and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
energypolicy.columbia.edu
2006 onward: The UN Security Council imposed multilateral sanctions over Iran's nuclear program (starting with Resolution 1737). The EU and others followed with their own measures.
europarl.europa.eu
2010s peak and JCPOA: Sanctions intensified (especially U.S. measures targeting oil and banking). Many were eased under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal, with UN sanctions lifted in 2016. The U.S. reimposed and expanded them after withdrawing from the JCPOA in 2018 ("maximum pressure" campaign).
en.wikipedia.org
Overall Picture
Iran is often described as one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world. While there have been periods of partial relief (notably 2016–2018 under the JCPOA), U.S. sanctions have been nearly continuous since the late 1970s/early 1980s, with waves of intensification tied to nuclear issues, terrorism support, human rights, and regional activities.
europarl.europa.eu
Sanctions regimes involve the U.S., EU, UN (historically), and others, with primary (direct) and secondary (targeting third parties) measures. They have evolved significantly but trace their origins directly to November 1979. For the most current status, official sources like the U.S. Treasury's OFAC or State Department provide details, as sanctions continue to be adjusted.

I really dont think there is a god existing here that picks sides selectively. That's like expecting nature to concsiously favor specific populations of microbes on a countertop.
But as far the living deliberate gods go...
If you judge it like The Ori on Stargate, Judeochristian God (all versions) has 2.5 billion adherents to draw magical cosmic energy from, and Allah has only 1.95 billion. But they prostrate way way more so maybe on aggregate Allah gets more conscious devotion energy?
