This is exactly what Trump always does - He makes big promises but makes a mess out of things.

Took a look at what he did with NAFTA. For all of the faults with NAFTA, it was working. Trump vowed to "fix" NAFTA (which was working) and the end result is we spent a lot of time and effort making a handful of minor changes that will have little positive effect, while doing a lot of damage. One of the biggest changes of NAFTA is that people working in the automobile industry will need to be pay wages similar to what American employees make. If not, automatic tariffs go into effect. The automobile makers aren't going to pay their employees more so the tariffs will be automatic; We will be paying more for our cars because of this.

Same thing with healthcare. He promised to fix healthcare and just fucked it up without giving us a solution. Obamacare, which was working great, is on life support. We had more people on healthcare than ever before and Trump fucked it up.

Look at what is happening on the border. We didn't have a problem under Obama. Less people were coming, more people were getting deported. Trump came in, talked loudly about a wall, which caused people to come in droves thinking a wall was actually going to be built, and because of the changes made with our immigration process we actually locking people up in what looks like concentration camps and not allowing the something as basic as toothpaste.

It's the exact same this with Iran. We didn't have a problem with Iran under Obama. Trump quickly scratched the deal we made - which put the United States in violation of the deal btw - and now Iran is restarting it's nuclear program, attacking ships in the gulf, and now they are attacking our drones and shooting them down. Iran isn't stupid; They know we can't get into yet another war in the Middle East.

What is Trump going to do now? A small strike that will most likely escalate the situation in the gulf? Risk going to war because Trump himself fucked up a deal that was working? Or allow Iran to anything it wants?

Trump is unqualified to be in office.
