"SNIP....

Daily Mail: “Donald Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal as an act of ‘diplomatic vandalism’ to spite his predecessor Barack Obama, Britain’s Ambassador to Washington wrote in a bombshell memo to Downing Street.”

“Sir Kim Darroch’s claim – made after Boris Johnson made a doomed trip to the White House to change the President’s mind – is revealed in leaked cables and briefing notes which led to Sir Kim’s resignation last week.”

be POTUS. Destroying the environment, kicking the sick off of their health insur, risking the country's safety with our enemies, etc. is insane. He would start WWIII if it meant spiting Obama. ITMFA

That's just one reason why he is considered by many to be a petty, vindictive, empty soul, egotistical man baby.

to dismantling his best ever deals. Sadly, the truth is that the base wanted to undo Obama's best deals for the same reason: he was an intelligent black man that no republican could ever hold a candle to.

There is no reason to demonize them, and well we can't have that now can we?

GOP--the reason America can't have nice things.

(On Edit)-- and I can only hope that like Old Man Bush before him, Obama is still asking for the PDIB, so he knows what the hell is going on in the world as it exists, and is making phone calls as he sees fit to hold off the tide of what Trump as pResident actually deserves from the rest of the civilized world.

as soon as he came into office. But the other side of that coin is the war hawks like Bolton who went along with dismantling the deal thinking it would provide a context for invasion. It's a tragedy that the Rump's jealousy seems to pair nicely with neo-con ideals.

Its all about killing all of Obama's accomplishments.
Keep in mind if it was left up to the Republicans General Motors would be history and would not exist today if Republicans would have had their way..another Obama accomplishment that Republicans could never get over the facts that Obama saved the Company.


I think Trump agrees with Putin that a liberal Democratic style government is out dated and needs a change...I think Trump is trying to destroy our Democracy

What he is doing is potentially bringing the world closer to another world war. And that will be Trump’s legacy, that his stupidity ignited the flames of war. Win, lose or draw.

Just like everything else he's doing. Only he doesn't care that he's hurting everyone else, too. Diplomatic vandalism. Economic vandalism. You name it, he's destroying it, including the whole damn country.
