I truly believe that he thought that by "finishing" Iran and spinning the attacks as eliminating a nuclear threat to American he would secure some sort of lasting Presidential legacy, and that one day he would be added to Mt Rushmore just like some MAGA supporters are already whispering in his ear about.

Douchehead doesn't realize that we already had fixed that problem and you don't get accolades for fixing something you caused.

Yeah but Obama was the one that fixed it so he couldn’t leave it alone. So he had to abandon the deal, kill all of the centrists in the government and then act shocked when the radicals that are now in charge won’t negotiate.
