White House official admits Trump killed Iran deal so he could watch 'experts freaking out on CNN'
Travis Gettys 09 MAY 2018 AT 06:43 ET

President Donald Trump has long wanted to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal brokered by the Obama administration, and that’s what he did after driving naysayers out of the White House.

A source who spent time with the president Tuesday said he was in high spirits after announcing the withdrawal, which had been opposed by former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former national security adviser H.R. McMaster, reported Axios.

“He’s going big, with what he believes, and confident in it all,” a White House official told the website. “POTUS ran against experts — the ‘eggheads’ — and believes that rebalancing our policies on trade, defense spending, security, etc., simply makes sense.”

“(Trump) likes it when ‘experts’ are on CNN freaking out,” the White House official explained.

2. He really is like The Joker, isn't he?

Fucking crazy bastard.

[workinclasszero]

9. Totally

Crazy as a loon but who is more insane?

Trump or the entire country of supposedly sane Americans who are sitting back and watching this POS fascist destroy everything this country stood for and wipes his ass with the constitution every damn day?

Is it Mueller time yet?

3. Our International standing and our

National Security are now subject to the whims of a criminal madman.
What do we hear from Republican leadership this morning?... CRICKETS. The people must act and act soon.

6. The US is only seen as a world leader because the US has a reputation for killing off

those countries in disagreement. Month by month the US prestige, world leadership and rankings sinks lower and lower while the moron factor of the US applauds tRump.

4. Trump also can't wait to eventually watch a nuclear war on his fucken TV. n/t

11. Yeah just so he and Fox & Friends can laugh

at the libs.

The pResident is a madman drooling idiot.

5. Rebalanced? More like unbalanced.

Trump has no plan at all. He's a fucking idiot.

7. So he really is the ultimate deplorable - "I WANNA SEE LIBTARD TEARS!!1!"

[Blaukraut]

17. I think it's more that he wants to see Obama's tears.

He doesn't care enough about Liberals to even waste a thought on them. He loves his base because he needs their adulation, and he hates President Obama because he mocked him in public.
I hope that congress changes their minds about impeachment. Pence would NOT be worse than this maniac.

"The Dark Knight":

"Some men just want to see the World burn."

12. "Some men just want to see the World burn."

Sums up Dump and the republican agenda neatly, thanks.

13. We are dealing with a complete psychopath here.

14. "...and believes that rebalancing our policies on trade, defense spending,

security, etc., simply makes sense.” But he really doesn't "believe" anything. He is reactive and cause chaos because he can. There is no real agenda or policy, except destruction. Like a toddler, he enjoys knocking the blocks down, because he can't really build anything, but he can get attention.

[Hortensis]

15. The right's enmity toward Iran is far, far deeper and older

than Trump. Large numbers of strong conservatives believe Iran is evil and intends to destroy us, so we must destroy it first. Not just neocon militants and hateful social conservatives, but many millions in the religious right who think Satan's operating out of Iran and Russia and are expecting the Final Battle any day. And of course, there're large overlaps of all those groups.

These people today are just the same old John Bircher types who gave themselves such a bad name that they had to ditch it. Think John Bolton. In all eras they passionately believe in attacking enemies (and always believe in at least one imminent existential threat) and are appalled by the weakness of treating with enemies, always sure they're fatal mistakes that will lead to our destruction. These types even marched against every nuclear test ban and stepdown treaty. Today, it's the Iran nuclear agreement.

Add to these dangerous nuts, and Trump has plenty in common with them, Trump's own long-time enmity against Obama and determination to erase his legacy, and chortling at the media reaction to his exercise of power is just a cherry on top.

They got one.

Let's just hope something really bad happens to him before it happens to us.
