Trump on Iran Deal: Confused and Ignorant

The Man Has No Idea What He is Doing

Fumbling, Bumbling and Stumbling Foreign Policy

Remember when Donnie thought the Iran nuclear deal was the worst deal ever, except of course for NAFTA and health care and all the other worst deals ever. He was going to tear it up Day 1. Well guess what Day 1 passed a long time ago and Trumpie still has no idea what is going on. He doesn't even suspect what is going on.

WASHINGTON — President Trump kept the Iran nuclear deal alive on Thursday as a critical deadline lapsed, a sign that he is stepping back from his threat to abandon an agreement he repeatedly disparaged. He is moving instead to push back on Iran’s ambitions in the Middle East in other ways.

Thursday’s congressionally imposed deadline, to renew an exemption to sanctions on Iran suspended under the 2015 deal, was significant because had the president reimposed economic punishments on Iran, he would have effectively violated the accord, allowing Tehran to walk away and ending the agreement. 

Like everything else, Trump just promises something 'next month' And for sure it will be 'big, big, big'.

“We are not going to stand for what they’re doing to this country,” he told reporters. “They have violated so many different elements, but they’ve also violated the spirit of that deal. And you will see what we’ll be doing in October. It will be very evident.”

Of course the people that actually know what is going on find that Iran is complying.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has said Iran has complied with its commitments under the arrangement, including inspections.

Is it incompetence or ignorance that rules the Trump White House? Inquiring minds want to know.
