Trump is a great negotiator. Instead of waiting 10 years, Iran can start building nukes immediately. #ArtoftheDeal

He didn’t leave the deal, he violated it.
If you’re in a deal and you don’t keep up your end, that’s exactly what it’s called.

[cynthiahutchins]

Maybe we don’t make “empty” threats, but the promises sure come from an empty head.

[NewMessage]

"When I make promises, I keep them."
Every contractor in New York just did a simultaneous spit-take.

[kimberlys]

Obama should have called him and strongly advised him to pull out of the deal and he would have stayed. He's jealous and resentful of Obama. Obama got higher ratings on 60 minutes.

[MrAdvancego]

What makes this all the more egregious is that this deal is way above his level of comprehension

[no-orwelliandystopia]

The whole thing stinks his only concerns about this Iran deal withdrawal, is the
Dismantling of Obama's signature in the foreign-policy achievements and also bucking the wishes of some of America’s European closest allies.
America have lost all credibility on the world stage.

[rhiannonm]

Dear world:
I’m very sorry.
Sincerely,
An American who didn’t ask for this either

[JonathanRamirez-tzfo]

How come we have to take exams to see what schools we can qualify for or what jobs we can qualify for if we join the military. Why can’t we do this for our US presidents.

[brianvenua]

Marriage is a promise. Way to keep it.

[camelsheit_on_the_walls]

If only trump had the sense, the courage, the decency and the insight to resign!
Wait. Had he been a man in possession of those qualities he might not have had the need to resign..

[braden]

"leaves" is not the correct word. Trump is "violating" the agreement. Let's call it what it is.

[gemimahzzz]

When is someone going to be honest and admit he is officially unfit for office, due to dementia. He should be in care, not running your country.😓

[budrollin]

Coincidentally, during the Vietnam War, Donald drove a Dodge STD.

[ritamariekelley]

Someone, please, get the hook and yank Trump off the world stage. He's undone years of diplomacy. Don't let him anywhere near Kim Jun Un.

[jaybee]

Glad to hear he will be keeping his promise to release his tax returns. Just as - on his wedding days - he promised to be faithful to his wives. What a guy!

[FrankieJamesNews]

Did anyone else notice that Trump's hair today looked like Kim J Un? He also had another slurring/denture/coke moment.

[Lynthari]

According to the morning radio the other countries involved in the Iran Deal are sticking with it. I'm hoping this is because they realize that if ANYONE else was in charge besides the dumpster fire we have currently was in charge we wouldn't have left the deal or the climate accord.

[NSP]

So you guys withdraw from the Paris agreement, now from the Iran nuclear deal. What's next? Return to prohibition as it were in the '20?

[ShayanGivehchian]

Thanks to the American voters, 80 million people from my country will be facing economical and social hardship in the coming years if not another pointless conflict and many lives lost.
Thanks alot
