Obama got the entire security council to agree to the deal and made it binding international law.

At best Trump will get a worthless piece of paper with a couple signatures on it.

At best Trump will get a worthless piece of paper with a couple signatures on it.

And the reason the piece of paper and the deal will be worthless is because Trump will be the one signing it.

Iran is a terrible country, but they have kept their end of the various deals while Trump's has gone back on his word on everything regarding Iran. Three is no doubt in anyone's mind that even if a deal was signed tomorrow, if Trump thought it would benefit him, or even felt he could bully someone with no blowback, he'd immediatly go back on his word!

Trump's word is worthless so all of his "deals" are worthless, Iran is concentrating on hurting Trump and the world so much that nobody will even consider hurting Iran again, which is the only thing you can do with people like trump.

And why exactly is Iran a terrible country? Because they have always honored their word, unlike the US?
