In a statement Tuesday following President Donald Trump’s announcement that he would withdraw from the Iran deal and re-instate sanctions on Iran, former President Barack Obama called the decision a “serious mistake.”
“Without the JCPOA,” Obama wrote, “the United States could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East.”

For a smart guy, Obama doesn’t seem to understand how to get Trump to not do the dumbest things over and over.
Yeah… it’s the former President’s fault that the current President is a madman and a buffoon.
Of course it is a serious mistake. That is what Trump does. Indeed, it is his specialty.
Can someone PLEASE just pull the 25th Amendment ripcord already?!?!?!
Before this asshole blows up the whole world!!!
What would you expect Obama to do? Trump seems to think they’re in some sort of blood feud. There is no reasoning with Trump.
