Wasn't One Of Trump's Criticisms Of The Iran Deal The Money That Passed Hands....

[global1]

from the U.S. to Iran. I know that it was their money in the first place - but Trump wants everyone to believe that Obama paid to get the agreement signed.

So now if Trump kills the Iran agreement - what does he have to say about all that money. Essentially - in his world of his little mind - that money will have been passed on to the Iranians for naught. It would be lost in the shuffle of his rescinding this agreement.

How does he account for that?

1. Are you seriously pretending that facts and logic matter in the Trump administration???

2. I'm Just Saying That Instead Of It Being Money Well Spent.....

by his rescinding this agreement - the money is totally gone for nothing.

It will be on his shoulders that this money is lost in the shuffle. So this argument that Obama gave all this money to the Iranians that seems to resonate with the Trump supporters - at least - Obama got something for his money - the Iran Agreement.

How will Trump rescinding this agreement now resonate with his supporters? The money was spent - as Trump says - so Obama could secure this agreement. If the agreement is rescinded under Trump - does the responsibility for losing that money now fall to Trump?

I know my reasoning here might seem convoluted - but it seems fair to me that Trump take some hits for squandering this money.

7. And who is supposed to make that argument and attack Trump?

That money was always Iran's. The US just returned it to its rightful owners. No Democrat will deny that.

And no Republican fanatic enough to deny this simple reality will be willing to attack Trump over this.

3. every news show has to mention that multiple times a day /every day. It was their money

we had no banking exchange ....it had to be cash returned from being confiscated in earlier sanctions. Drill that FACT into drumpf's puny brain

4. It will look bad on the US if we go back on this agreement

He is daily trashing our standing in the world. We will become pariah who no one trusts. Why make an agreement when the next president rescinds it? Twitler is too stupid to realize it. North Korea might make an agreement and then go back on it because we rescinded the Iran deal. I can see that happening.

8. It's that he doesn't care.

Not to say he isn't also stupid.

5. He doesn't have to account for anything. He's a crazy no nothing and the voters he cares about are

also crazy no nothings. Dropping out of the Iran deal, however, is going to fuck up the oil market "bigly" which could send gasoline prices sky high. The dim bulbs might notice that.

6. It was Iran's own money wasn't it, just frozen in banks under the sanctions. nt

9. Repaid Sans Interest

We kept the gains. They weren't going to ruin the deal over interest, so we kept it.
