I think had an excellent opportunity for a Nobel
He blew it when he backed out of the Iran nuclear deal
BINGO!
Just about anyone who knew the realities of what Iran was and wasn't doing, regarding their part of the nuclear deal, thought the US should have kept it's word.
Trump based much of his decision on the Bebe video infomercial that was based on data from prior to the agreement. And then there's a promise Trump said during prez campaign, when he didn't have the intelligence on the workings of the nuclear deal. Considering, Trump doesn't possess ability to devour detail intelligence, he must of skipped the whole show and decided to just keep his ignorant campaign promise, no matter who disagreed with him.
Even Trump's own generals (plus Mattis), were against pulling out of the agreement, as were Israel's generals.
Trump Violates the Iran Nuclear Deal — Ignoring U.S. and Israeli Generals Who Support It
Trump is a careless, ego-manic, that had no grasp of the realities of his decision.
It's no coincidence, that two national leaders, who are being investigated, would want to cause a distraction as a prelude for wagging the dog.
