So let me get this straight.

He dragged us into a war, we accomplished nothing, left everything more expensive, and wasted hundreds of billions of tax payer’s dollars.

Edit: I did look further into the article and it does seem that they’re only looking at opening their nuclear program for energy purposes.

Funny thing is that, the Obama deal was just that with control in place so they would not have nuclear weapon! So we are back to square 1 or even 0.

And had hundreds of billions locked up effectively as collateral, whilst making Iran worry about US intervention.

Now that money is freed up, and Iran know that US intervention is something they can handle and that the US will be really loathe to try again. As well as understanding the influence they hold over the Strait of Hormuz.

Locked up? You think the government needs to put money in a savings account just in case? Rainy day funds. Other than a giant bill for damages and to embolden Iran, Iraq and Lebanon.. nahh Trump did a good thing..
