YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen Trump ripped up the deal President Obama made with Iran, Iran had been abiding by the terms - that included allowing inspectors to survey its nuclear facilities. Trump was advised by people in his own administration, like national security adviser H.R. McMaster, not to abandon the deal because it was working. Now, in the middle of a very expensive war or as Trump calls it an "excursion" in Iran and in the middle of negotiations to end the fighting and keep nuclear weapons out of Iran, it looks like Trump will talk away with the Obama deal...the same one he tore up. It seems like a very deadly and expensive miscalculation on Trump's part. Trita Parsi, who we have had on The Mark Thompson Show, says the U.S. would have been in a better position had Trump never walked out of the first deal.
We'll discuss it along with the appearance of a changing allegiance toTrump among some of the most notable MAGA faithful.
