Trump says Obama’s Iran nuclear deal was ‘horrible’ but his is unlikely to be any better

During an interview with NBC News last week, he trashed his predecessor for offering "weak and ineffective leadership on behalf of the United States" and argued that Obama and others "allowed [Iran] to get away with murder."

"That deal was tantamount to giving them a nuclear weapon. It was a horrible deal given by Barack Obama, and really penned by him," Trump said "It was a horrible deal."

His comments were just the latest in a series of examples of Trump trashing one of Obama's signature foreign policy accomplishments and boasting that he could do better.

And despite what Trump says, there was no "cash" involved — he's confusing the sanctions relief with a separate payment the U.S. made to settle a decades-old dispute over weapons purchased by the pre-1979 government that were never delivered to Iran.

Trump says he can get a better deal, but it's hard to see how what the plans leaked out by U.S. and Iranian sources are better than the JCPOA.

For one, the deal Trump keeps touting isn't a real deal — it's a 60-day extension of the ceasefire and a promise for more talks.
