Trump’s social media post came in stark contrast to his optimism Tuesday morning that a peace agreement with Tehran could be reached within days. The president told reporters that 'we’re in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal.' " - Politico

Yeah, it looks like Trump's "very, very good deal" really is in its "final throes."

I don't think Trump knows what the phrase "final throes" actually means. It refers to "the last, intensely difficult, and often painful stages of a struggle or the end of a process right before it collapses, fails, or comes to an end."
