There was No Collusion with Russia (except by the Democrats). When will this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax ever end? So bad for our Country. Is the Special Counsel/Justice Department leaking my lawyers letters to the Fake News Media? Should be looking at Dems corruption instead?

Iran is one of my least favorite countries. Iranians have very little freedom. Their elections are a sham. The so-called guardian council, a group of fundamentalist, hard-line clerics, allows only candidates they choose to run for office. Iran funds terrorist groups.
However, Iran is a huge power with which every country must deal. The Iran nuclear deal, though far from perfect, gives the West some leverage over what that regime does. President Donald Trump's pulling out of it was a disastrous mistake.
His claim that it was a bad deal for the U.S. was only a smoke screen. His real reason is his hatred for President Barack Obama. It is revenge for Obama poking fun at Trump over his "birther" claim that Obama was not born in the U.S. at a media event several years ago. When President Obama made his joke, Trump appeared to be seething with anger. Ever since Trump was elected, he has done everything he can to undermine Obama's legacy, including junking the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal.
Trump is a narcissist who cannot stand to have fun poked at him, or even disagreement on policies. His ego is more important than the good of our country, or our relations with other nations.
Whatever Trump does is for his own self-glorification, and to get back at Obama, or anyone, especially the media, that he believes “dissed” him. He's a “wannabe” dictator who should not be called the “leader of the free world.”

Canada has treated our Agricultural business and Farmers very poorly for a very long period of time. Highly restrictive on Trade! They must open their markets and take down their trade barriers! They report a really high surplus on trade with us. Do Timber & Lumber in U.S.?

Stoic, Jewish, and Christian thought are . . . substantially agreed in this: that there is a set of rules or precepts of conduct, constituting a divine law, which is binding upon all rational creatures as such, and which in principle can be ascertained by human reason. This universal or common code is what Jews and Christians came to refer to as "morality" or "the moral law" (lex moralis). They also called it "the law of nature" (lex naturae) and "natural law" (lex naturalis), because they believed that the moral law applies to man by virtue of his nature as a rational being, and is known to him primarily by the exercise of natural human reason.(Alan Donagan, The Theory of Morality [Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press, 1977], 6 [ellipsis added])
