People keep ignoring the fact that Obama struck a deal with Iran that stopped their nuclear weapons program.

Trump killed american troops to get a deal that's worse than the one we already had.

    The JCPOA (Obama‘s deal) wasn’t perfect and didn’t stop a nuclear weapon or nuclear enrichment for Iran. At best it delayed it for a decade. It also didn’t do anything about Iran ballistic missile program.

    In fact the same year the JCPOA was signed, Iran built a big public clock counting down to Israel‘s destruction in Palestine square. It would reach zero the year the JCPOA ended. So much for their peaceful intentions.

    The JCPOA only kicked the can down the road with the hope of a more sane government in Iran later on.

    Well the Iranian regime calls for the death and destruction of Israel daily and has for decades. They also have actively armed Hezbollah and others, as well as launched ballistic missiles at their cities.

    This is some silly rhetoric. It’s core to their Islamist ideology. They mean it.

    The GOP has said that lower taxes for the rich will solve all of americia's problems.

    People in power will say anything to keep going.

    You’re saying that as if Iran‘s elections are worth anything. The regime is very unpopular among the population. Many even applauded and celebrated the Israeli and American air strikes.

    So what has improved about the situation since Trump threw out the JCPOA?

    "Not perfect" doesn't mean it wasn't batter then the current situation.

    The JCPOA wasn’t great and mostly kicked the can down the road. Trump made the situation worse because he made diplomatic efforts much more difficult.

    The core issue is Iran‘s fundamentalist regime and their destructive desires and actions. That’s not Trump‘s fault. It’s an extremely difficult issue, that would have led to war sooner or later, without Iran changing their policies.

    tl;dr Trump bad. Iran worse.
