The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Everyone Agrees Trumps Deal Is "100% Total Ass"...

Calling Trump's handling of the conflict "the worst foreign policy blunder in decades," Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said Wednesday,
"Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran's nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz
now works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.
Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead,
families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades."

Conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro, told Fox News on Wednesday the agreement is a "Disaster that does not achieve any of the actual goals set by the administration at the beginning."

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson reposted a video compilation of Trump bashing the Obama-era Iran deal on multiple occasions:
"I would have never given them back the money, I would have said, the money is off the table! I would have won that negotiation!" ~Trump

Fox News host Mark Levin, said "I sure as hell hope I am misreading and mishearing things. If there is confusion it is due to the withholding of the MOU and publicly stated comments,
not to those of us who can see and hear."

Steve Bannon said, "We can't get in the business of giving these guys all this money and giving them access. We got the sanctions, keep the sanctions on, don't let them sell any oil,
don't give them $300 billion. I think we're looking at this cockeyed, we shouldn't be doing anything for these people."
