    His intended audience is Iran. He’s terrified of being made to look weak or get a worse deal than Obama. And he’s aware that time is on their side. Look at his comments about escalating the conflict: Iran is “taking too long to come to a deal”. He’s obsessed with getting a deal quick, but also not giving in.

    He’s in a loose/loose position and former presidents in this situation are responsible for the Vietnam war.

      You can sum his entire presidency (both terms) up as “because Obama”. Obama being elected so completely broke him that he has to spend all his time and energy trying to be better than Obama. But he’s so clearly not up for the challenge as he fails at everything.
