Trump destroyed an actual international treaty that the US & other nations had with Iran to keep their nuclear ambitions in check. He did this because he hates Obama-- & diplomacy-- & is a complete idiot. Now the GOP is all lying to all of us to try to make us forget the depth & cost of their folly.
