"SNIP....
Daily Mail: Donald Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal as an act of diplomatic vandalism to spite his predecessor Barack Obama, Britains Ambassador to Washington wrote in a bombshell memo to Downing Street.
Sir Kim Darrochs claim made after Boris Johnson made a doomed trip to the White House to change the Presidents mind is revealed in leaked cables and briefing notes which led to Sir Kims resignation last week.

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.

(17,984 posts)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.

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
