Nobody needs to do business with the US. There is a reason people are taking down the Trump name on properties all over the world. Even banana republics like Panama don’t give a care about American law suits.
Our country is just going to be ignored. That’s the hardest part. It might take decades before any other country trusts us again or their citizens will want to enter in any kind of arrangement including business ones. Wall Street has already begun to trade in fake currencies rather than deal in dollars as the world’s standard of exchange.
The walls are closing in on us rather than Donald putting up one against others.
Paris Climate Accord - US out - world moves on - US diminished.
TPP - US out - world moves on - US diminished.
Tariffs - US threatens/imposes - world moves on - US diminished.
Iran Nuclear Deal - US out - world moves on - US diminished.
Trump president for 15 months - US trust and goodwill diminished by decades, if not a century or more. World moves on.
Yes they do and they do still look to us for the role we’ve played all these years and they are very scared and very much want us to get back to normal.
If the US tries to apply sanctions unilaterally, there’s no reason why the Europeans or Chinese or Russians or anybody else needs to pay any attention to them. Then what, Trump launches all out sanctions against every other frigging country in the world including Canada and Mexico? How’s that going to turn out?
He keeps whining about how it’s the worst deal ever in all history and we get nothing out of the deal. I wish the AP reporters (for example) would push back on that crap. It’s not the worst deal ever, even the Munich Accords bought some time for England to start preparing for Hitler’s war. And what are we supposed to get out of it? A free toaster with a checking account? There’s nothing “in it” for us except Iran not building nukes.
But that MF POS Netanyahu will get what he thinks he wants, but you know what? That is not going to turn out the way he thinks it will. Israel will be isolated like they’ve never been before, worse than at the end of WWII, and the Israeli people are going to pay a price for supporting Netanyahu and his racist buddies. And I’m Jewish and have admired Israel ever since I was able to read Leon Uris or Wouk or O Jerusalem or all those Jewish writers telling us how great my plucky Jewish cousins were.
Israel had a lot of sympathy after the War, after the 2nd Munich Olympics, after Entebbe, after the 6 Day War or Yom Kippur War. But they’ve been grinding it down, the murder of Rabin was probably the beginning of the end for them, now, Reaping what you Sow, is next for Israel.
Trump is a monster. Everyone that supports him is a monster too. Some may be redeemed, but most can just FOAD, and the sooner the better.
History will not judge America at all well at the start of the 21st Century, if we survive to have a history after this nightmare winds down.
I am 100% certain that the Orange weasel has no idea what the deal is, refuses to sit still long enough for it to be explained to him, etc. He is giving ADD a bad name. Dog help us.

“In President Trump’s remarks criticizing the Obama-era deal, he says ‘America will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail’”

Mrs darr’s comment:
“That’s some world class dumbassery right there”
May Donald Trump burn in hell for the pain and misery he causes, for the shattering of generations old alliances, for letting Israel set American mid east policy. May he forever be remembered as the poster child of the Ugly American.
But the FreeDumb Caucus sees all of these as a win/win. Just like they think the Confederacy and Civil War were glorious. But then they see Nazis as good people, too.
We can’t rationalize and try to normalize this any longer. Either we stop them in their tracks in November or they will start putting journalists, political opponents and others who oppose their “religious freedom” in jail. It’s coming. Holocaust survivors have been warning us. I have the upmost confidence in their judgment and dread what comes next.
Went over to Redstate and Infowars to see another perspective (I’ve never done that before and it will be awhile before I go back again). Most comments are about sticking it to Obama and liberals and the media. Nothing about the policy or how this is supposed to improve anything.
One of the standouts from the 20 seconds I was over there…
“Thanks for ridding us of the kenyan born imposter moooosluuuum tranny lovers bogus Iran deal!”
thank you - it is, except my brain is still over the Atlantic somwhere and my body is still at the airport and the only thing that has made it back yet is my temper. hahahahahahahahahaha
The Democrats should demand equal broadcast time to rebut Trump’s nakedly political and slashing attack on Obama. Since Obama has decided that he shouldn’t be involved in saving his own legacy, I nominate Joe Biden to give the address. And to do it before a roaring crowd demanding that he take the fight to Trump on all the great issues.
