comprehensive analysis of frump's useless "leadership"
"..Perhaps the President’s most devastating diplomatic failure has been in Iran. President Obama handed Trump a major gift with the Iran Nuclear Deal. While Tehran was never seeking to build a nuclear weapon, the deal allows for unprecedented inspections and restrictions of Iran’s nuclear program.
The deal ensured that Tehran was not seeking a nuclear weapon. The threat of Iranian nuclear weapons was maybe the most important piece of propaganda keeping the US military in the Middle East.
Obama’s deal would have given Trump cover to pull US troops out of the Middle East and cite the IAEA’s reports as proof that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.
However, Trump, ever his own worst enemy, was convinced by Benjamin Netanyahu, Sheldon Addleson, and the rest of the American zionist class to scrap the deal.
And while Trump exited the agreement and reimposed sanctions on Iran, Tehran did not attempt to build a nuclear weapon.
Tehran was even willing to return to the negotiation table with the US in the Spring of 2025. Those talks resulted in significant progress. But Israel, with Trump’s backing, attacked Iran during negotiations last June.
Still, Tehran was willing to return to the table this year. During those negotiations, Omani mediators made it clear that Iran had offered significant concessions, and a deal was possible. Rather than take the deal, which Trump could have touted as better than Obama’s Iran deal, the President chose to restart the war with Iran.

The Art of Failure - Antiwar.com
Donald Trump sold himself to the American people as the ultimate dealmaker during his first run for President. He argued that Obama’s poor negotiating skills had impoverished the American people, and he would Make America Great Again by getting tough with both allies and adversaries. The...
