Like Korea, Trump Will Deal With Iran His Way

Like Korea, Trump Will Deal With Iran His Way
So many times over the past year we heard Trump's tough talk and tweets will start World War III with North Korea. Every expert predicted the same exact thing based on one thing,  Trump wasn't a polished politician like Obama who knew how to talk to world leaders and dictators.

It has become evident that Trump cares less what the press says and more that the person he is talking to understands one thing 'I mean what I say.' Former President Obama's spineless jellyfish diplomacy created an atmosphere that the United States had become weak. Trump has already proven to the world that 'He isn't Obama.'

Kim Jong-Un thought he was dealing with another Obama with his New Year's Day message of "a nuclear button is always on my desk." Kim's message alarmed people throughout Washington and foreign capitals — especially in South Korea, which swiftly sought to open up a new dialogue with its outlaw neighbor.
I'll Tell You Where To Stick Your Threat
But Trump wasn't going to take the bait and kowtow to anyone, as every politician had done. Instead, Trump sent his own message that was 100% all Trump ‘My button’s bigger!’

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

Unlike Obama who would have run to the United Nation and try to hide behind their skit, Trump punched the bully in the nose. That nosebleed gave Kim Jong-Un a much-needed dose of reality. Once Kim Jong-Un realized 'This isn't Obama' he did the smartest thing he possibly has ever done in his life. He worked with South Korea on ending a conflict that had been dragging on for over a half a century.

Like Obama's Paris Climate Change agreement that said the #1 and #3 polluters had to do nothing at all to curb their environment pollution, instead, the United States and it's people will pay the price for the world. Trump felt that if the world doesn't want us as their policeman, then we shouldn't be their maid either and opted out of that one-sided deal.
Next Up... Iran
Now the deadline is fast approaching for President Trump to decide yet again whether or not he will stick with another one of Obama's flawed agreements.

The Iran nuclear deal, like Obama's Paris climate change and his deal with the UN and Russia to remove all the chemical weapons from Syria, is simply another joke played on the American people.

The Iran deal is a deal that Obama loved best 'Nothing was going to take effect or happen until after he left office. Once he leaves and everything goes to hell, he can just place the blame on whoever occupied the oval office.

The same pundits and experts that told us how incredible Obama was in removing 'All the chemical weapons from Syria' also claimed the Obama Iran deal was the greatest deal ever made because it would stop Iran from developing a Nuclear weapon.

The fact is it does nothing to halt Iran’s long-term ability to build nukes and nothing at all to curb its ballistic-missile development and fostering of violence across the Mideast. All that deal did was kick the can down the road, and leave it for someone else to deal with.

Despite what the fake news media claims about Trump being a joke among European leaders, the president is well respected. More importantly, they know Trump will call them out if they tried playing politics. Remember NATO?

After the latest developments with Korea he's only added to the respect he already had.  This respect was clearly shown by his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron when he suggested a compromise may be in the works that would preserve the deal while expanding it to include its critics’ substantive concerns.

Macron was acting exactly as a politician does, never claiming the Obama deal sucked. Never claiming Trump is right that the Obama deal must be tougher. Macron never actually named names as Trump would, but his message was clear nonetheless.

It is good to see that Europe knows they need to maintain maximum pressure on an Iranian regime threatened by domestic crises and mass unrest. If they don't Trump will go it alone if need be. He did it with Syria the first time, he did it with ISIS and he did it with Korea.
It's Not Personal... It's Just Business 
Trump has rightly blasted the Obama deal as “insane” and “ridiculous.” But he said last week he was open to “a new deal,” provided it’s strong enough. Trump as any good businessman does, always leaves friend or foe a way to bow out gracefully. It's as political as he gets, and the only reason he does it is that it's a good business move.

Obama who would try to appease Russia and China because they are sure to block any new UN economic sanctions. Western Europe, too, is desperate to protect its own companies’ ability to trade and invest in Iran. Trump, unlike Obama, already knows this so he basically gives them all the middle finger and tells them 'No we will not beg you any longer.'

Trump has two decisions to make: On May 12, he must decide whether to ask Congress to reimpose sanctions lifted by the accord. By July, he must decide whether to reimpose sanctions that hit a far wider array of economic sectors.

And while the Iran deal is being reworked, like any good businessman, President Trump as an incentive reminds everyone that he still has the possibility of abandoning the deal entirely in his back pocket.

Like Kim Jong-Un did with his Nuclear button threat, Iran threatens retaliation if Trump imposes sanctions. Just like North Korea Trump will tell Iran exactly where they can stick their threats.

Despite the Obama deal or the planeload of American taxpayer money, Obama handed over to them, the global threat from Iran remains unchanged.

As it was with North Korea, Trump will not kick that can down the road any further. It’s long past time to genuinely fix it, or end it.
