    Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Iran deal. Even though Iran has not violated any part of the deal.

    Not only does that give Iran the perfect excuse to restart their nuclear program, if they chose to do so.. Which was been frozen and with inspectors verifying compliance constantly. But he puts the credibility of the United States in question.

    When this idiot is gone, we might be in time to draw another deal with Iran. But our credibility is gone. And it's going to take at least a generation to recover. Now anybody we want to make an agreement with will have all the reasons to question if we are going to keep our part of the deal.

    Are you surprised? Now wait for his great big deal which will be nothing at all.

    By the way was not the deal with colluding with the Russians that Trump would block sanctions against Russia, which he has been doing.

    The TPP was a good deal where la Trump essentially left the US on the outside looking in.

    I didn't think it was possible to cede the high ground on credibility and the willingness to adhere to an internationally agreed upon measure to reduce the threat of nuclear war...............to Iran..............but Crazy Donald managed to do it. This might be the most isolationist step taken by any US prez since the end of WW II.

    A really dumb move by a really pathetic president. What happens next will be very interesting - do the other signatory nations hang in there with Iran - the European nations Great Britain, France and Germany, as well as Russia and China? I think there is a chance this could happen. If so, the US would be on its own and would have to theoretically apply sanctions to all these nations - I look forward to this, LOL - think how stupid this would be ;). The US has trashed this agreement and Putin has to be thrilled with this lunacy. Trump, proving once again how he is absolutely unfit he is for office......

    Hold on - months ago you said the worst act of the Trump Presidency was the sanctions against North Korea. Then you said the worst act of the Trump Presidency was the tax cut bill which everyone loves. Then you said the threat of tariffs was the worst act of the Trump Presidency.

    Please do me a favor - continue to call eveything that President Trump does "the worst act of his Pesidency" - so far you're batting zero and President Trump is batting a 1,000

    Yes, the DEMOCRAT deal to keep North Korea from having nuclear weapons worked perfectly, so only an idiot would question that the same DEMOCRAT deal with Iran wouldn't work the same as with North Korea.

    Agreement was a bad idea in the first place. Good riddance.

    north korea wouldn't deal with democrat or republican, they had no intention of making or keeping a deal...Iran on the other had lived up to it's side of the agreement 100%...now the trump has equaled the NKs for breaking agreements...and why should NK believe anything the orange buffon tells them, he has a track record for breaking deals in his business dealings and now political agreements...

    Two of our closest allies are Israel and Saudi Arabia and you can believe when I say that both of them wanted President Trump to do this. Didn't you read about the millions of pages of auithenticated documents recently made public about Irans hidden nuclear program. Right now, Iran is a toothless lion that is causiong a lot of damage through their terrorist networks - when they achieve the A-Bomb and the means to deliver it, they are the most likely to do so. Imagine a terrorist planted A-Bomb being smuggled across the wide open southern border going off in NY City, or DC or LA, Chicago or Houston - that's what Iran with nukes would do.

    no agreement is forever they all have an end point to be looked at and renegotiated at that time...the Iran treaty was good for another 15 yrs, that's an entire generation for political and social change can occur in Iran...Iran has been given a free hand to do what it wants because they're not the ones who broke the treaty, there will be no coalition of nations backing the US in any war with Iran...

    That's not only a lie. It's a misinformed lie. I have always been in favor of sanctions against North Korea forever. Having to defend them from... you It was you who was against them.. And the tax cuts, though idiotic, is not even on my worst five considering all the stupid things he's done.

    You made that up. But it does prove how easy it is to bring up idiotic acts by Tump.

    You might want to try to educate yourself in History before making such idiotic remark. The North Korea deal that Cliniton signed did keep North Korea from having nuclear weapons. It was when Bush did.... exactly what Trump is doing now: unilaterally withdrawing from the deal, that allowed them to get nukes.

    Learning historical facts won't bite you. You might want to try this one day.

    Yeh - I did! But I'd bet a dollar to a donut that I was very close to the truth.

    Please read my sig at the bottom of this message. It was written just for you.

    I admit I say this to anybody who obviously doesn't know what they're talking about. But you might be very near the top of the list...

    How can you withdraw from something that doesn't exist? President Obama made a handshake deal -- something he did not have the authority to do. There is no "Iran deal." Our credibility was gone the moment Obama committed us without the authority to do so.

    I love when people who bad-mouth America,
    and malign America-First Americans as "nativists" and "nationalists",
    and burn and defecate on American Flags,
    and cheer when spoiled millionaire athletes disrespect our National Anthem,

    lament America's 'lost credibility'

    they want it both ways.

    Iran will sell cheap oil to France, Russia, Germany, China and England. And those countries won't sanction Iran, and become big trade partners. Twerp will come crawling back, like he did with the Paris accords. Again....too late. Go stand out in the cold. Then Twerp will try to exempt those counties from his trade war. Won't work....the rest of the world is going to tell Twerp, "Have fun being an Isolationist. You're on your own." Mexico and South America will benefit selling lots of food and other products to those countries. And the U.S. will be paying much higher prices for everything. Walmart is gonna suffer.
