The New Jersey Democrat laid out how the U.S. had allowed Iran to sell an estimated $10 billion worth of sanctioned oil to China and then promised to further alleviate sanctions in return for releasing highly enriched uranium and committing to limiting its enrichment capacity.

“And that was the exact deal that you guys vilified, that the president and you vilified President Obama for having,” Booker said. Of course, Donald Trump’s deal is even worse than Booker says, as it reportedly includes a $300 billion investment fund for Tehran, in the event that a deal is reached.

$10 Billion to $300 billion. ART OF THE DEAL!

    I’ve said it before but that’s what Trump always does. He fucks up an existing situation (which may not be ideal in most cases, but then few things are), and after making everything worse for everyone, arrives at a so called deal that isn’t even half as good as the original one was.

    And then there’s much rejoicing about how great he is.
