Is there any other way of interpreting his declining to abrogate it if elected? Or do Tea Party Trumpsters really believe that their hero can somehow rebalance and enforce a deal this lopsidedly pro-Iranian that has no practical verification procedures just by "kicking asses and taking names"?:
GOP presidential [candidate Donald Trump] says he has taken over some bad contracts in his years as a businessman, and, as president, he would make the best of the nuclear deal recently negotiated by the Obama administration.
"The people that negotiated that deal, mainly [Secretary of State John] Kerry and his friends, are incompetent," Trump said Sunday on Meet the Press.
They would be if they were genuinely trying to defend and advance U.S. national interests. That is not, however, what they've been doing, and thus the terms "malevolent" and "treasonous" are much more accurate. Something that somebody as "brash" and "un-PC" as Donald Trump ought to be willing to say publicly. Unless, of course, he's as incompetent at reading Obama and Kerry as he is in thinking their "deal" as is can ever prevent an Iranian-led nuclear holocaust.
But Trump told moderator Chuck Todd in an interview taped Saturday in Iowa that he is accustomed to looking over bad deals negotiated by others and finding ways to work them to his own advantage. He said he would do the same for the United States with the Iran deal if it is passed by Congress.
Rather than rip the deal up, as some of his opponents have suggested they'd do, Trump said, "I would police that contract so tough that they don't have a chance."
Yep, he's that incompetent, because this "contract" gives American blessing to the mullahs' nuclear weapons program, and "policing it" effectively means reinforcing that end. If Trump really wants the Iranians to "not have a chance," the only way of accomplishing that is to (1) abrogate the "deal" and (2) invade and conquer Iran and send Ali Khamanei and his friends to room with Osama bin Laden and the fishes. Which ought to be what "kicking asses and taking names" means.
If any of you TPTers insist that Trump is being coy and really intends to do the latter, sorry, I'm not buying it, because he isn't capable of that kind of discretion.
But perfidy? Absolutely.
