How can he criticize them, when he pulled out of the agreement. Seems like it's no longer any of his business. Our allies must be so pleased.

Bravo POTUS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Stop spreading positive news about Trump

This moron is starting a war.

Good

What side is Russia on i wonder

Obama was kind of a whimp

Cruel and mean spirited 🤪

Bout time. He’s a dick, but we needed balls at the top

Didn’t he do business with the Revolutionary Guard?

Yes. Trump has gauranteed that Iran has no choice but to come after America (which is what they want). They when they finally do trump will claim it’s their fault and start an unconstitutional war. Trump’s admin is literally plotting to kill American soldiers.

All good moves

Actually tRUmp is a terrorist and the Ratpublican Party is a terrorist organization.

This will back fire. Trump wants a war, if he needs one to change the subject.

All fantastic stuff.

I'm glad he's not just sending them bundles of cash

NK fires off a missile, we send a battlegroup to Iran..LOL

As they are. Lemme guess Ilhan and the rest of her peeps will be defending the Revolutionary Guard now too?
