Donald Trump hasn't been inaugurated yet, but members of his campaign entourage are already riding the president-elect's coattails all the way to Moscow.

(18,652 posts)repukes just said (as with ACA) they were against an Iran agreement but did not offer solutions except pie-in-the sky "Iran should give us this and that and we should give nothing." So Obama negotiated with 5 other nations, the UN Sec. Council and the IAEA to come up with an agreement---which Donnie has also vowed to scrap.
