“Malevolent Backbiting”

With Trump’s backing out of the American agreement with Iran and our allies, he is practicing brinkmanship with our lives. He is a threat to our safety and should be impeached on that ground alone. How is it that one man can have such power?
That agreement was arrived at after painstaking diplomacy, and with our allies as well as Russia. Calling it a bad deal does not make it so. It was a deal—a promise, a contract. The Iranians were complying. Trump has demeaned and endangered the United States. I am ashamed and angry, and I demand a reversal.

Note from KBJ: Who won the election, Daniel: you or Donald Trump? We elected him precisely to undo the deal.

Why doesn’t the Fake News Media state that the Trump Administration’s Anti-Trust Division has been, and is, opposed to the AT&T purchase of Time Warner in a currently ongoing Trial. Such a disgrace in reporting!

Donald Trump's approval rating is 49%. Barack Obama's approval rating at the same point of his presidency was 48%.

There is only one reason that President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Iran deal no matter how he tries to spin it. The sole reason is that President Barack Obama was instrumental in the Iran nuclear deal.
Trump wants to pretend that Obama was never president of the United States. The Paris climate accord, the Iran nuclear agreement, Obamacare—anything that he had a hand in bringing into reality, Trump wants erased from our consciences [sic].
Well, sorry, but I will never forget the good that President Obama did and will, also, never forget the harm that President Trump is, and will be, causing in the world.
