Republicans Are Trashing Trump And Vance's Iran Deal
Now that the White House has released the text, and it is a terrible deal for the United States, Republicans are ripping their own president's bad deal apart.
Donald Trump was always going to negotiate a terrible deal with Iran. The bombing campaign Netanyahu talked him into failed. The regime was still very much in place. The Strait of Hormuz was blocked, causing gas prices to surge in the United States.

Trump was trapped in a war that he started, but couldn’t win. The president got desperate, and the same president who has spent his entire life making bad deals and trying to sell them as victory made one of the worst deals in American history, except this time a significant amount of his party is not backing him up.
How bad is Trump’s Iran deal for America?
When asked about compliance mechanisms at his G7 press conference, Trump said there doesn’t have to be any:
Doesn’t have to be. I let ‘em know. I said, “Look, if you don’t adhere to the agreement, I don’t wanna do that. But we’re gonna bomb the hell out of you.” And I don’t think that they’re gonna veer from the agreement. What else am I gonna do? Am I gonna say, “I’m gonna take you to court”? Let me take you to court. Let me just, let me sue you.
No, we’re gonna bomb the hell out of ‘em if they violate the agreement. I don’t want them to. I want them to honor the agreement. Again, uh, the Strait slows up. Bad things can happen. You know, in war, terrible things happen, like you mentioned the question before about a school gets hit. Other things get hit. Bad things happen in war. War is a nasty place. I see it, I see it, I see it better than maybe anybody has ever seen it.
The more Trump talks about the deal. The more Republican opposition grows.
