Trusting Trump

What else does Donald Trump want us to pay for?

Part of Donald Trump’s unconditional surrender to Iran is a promise of providing $300 billion in reconstruction funds. Trump has spent years attacking President Barack Obama, and the JCPOA, the nuclear treaty that President Obama and several other countries negotiated with Iran that gave it billions in unfrozen assets, but the deal he signed yesterday, or Sunday, depending on which version of his own stories you want to believe, provides even more funds to Iran.

Yesterday, Trump said, “And you know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama, and they said, ‘He’s a stupid son of a bitch.’” Of course, that’s not true, but they are probably saying it about an American president now. Trust me on this, Donald Trump is a stupid son of a bitch.

Today, Senator Chuck Schumer called Trump a “terrible negotiator,” telling reporters that the agreement with Iran was “one of the worst deals that we’ve ever seen in the United States’ foreign and diplomatic policy.” And the criticism of the deal is bipartisan, as several Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence, have criticized it.

So, how bad is the Iran deal? Dick Wright, Gary Varvel, and Chip Bok, and Chip Bok are criticizing it. You know it sucks when the Kool-Aid drinking MAGAts hate it and can actually summon up enough independence to say something about it. (snip-MORE)
