Iran Deal Convinced Trump to Run for President
Posted On 30 May 2016
According to Donald Trump’s son, Eric, something specific pushed his father to run for the Republican presidential nomination. And contrary to a popular belief, it wasn’t the 2012 White House Correspondent’s Dinner.
“I think, honestly, the Iran nuclear deal was one of the things that made him jump into the race,” Eric said in an interview with a New York radio station Sunday. “I think that was a game changer for him. That is when he finally said, ‘Kids, I am going to do it. I am going to give this a real shot.”
Trump has spoken frequently of his disdain for the deal. In a well-received speech at AIPAC this year, the billionaire said that as president, he would make scrapping the deal his “number one priority.”
Politically, it’s hard to tell whether this proposal will help Trump or hurt him. In fact, it’s hard to really tell much of anything about the Iran nuclear deal. Everything you read is awash in ideology. The deal’s complexity is such that it’s almost impossible to get a holistic sense of what it actually means. Most Americans, if they’re honest with themselves, have either chosen a side based on the Republican/Democrat divide or they’ve decided not to care one way or the other.
As it turns out, this widespread apathy didn’t happen by accident.
The problem with understanding the Iran deal isn’t that it’s too complex or boring for the average American to fully comprehend; the problem is that Americans have been intentionally denied the facts. As we’ve just recently learned, the Obama administration – in cooperation with a George Soros-funded group called the Ploughshares Fund – manipulated reporters and spread their propaganda far and wide to make sure they got the deal they wanted. They gave the world a false choice: Either we sign this deal or we go to war with Iran.
So we signed the deal and gave a rogue Islamic regime billions of dollars to abandon a nuclear program they were only pursuing so they could get this deal in the first place. Now, should Iran choose to seriously pursue nuclear weapons, they will have the funds with which to do it.
The Iran deal itself is disastrous, but what’s worse is the precedent it sets. It sends a message to the world’s rogue leaders: If you want to get America to the negotiating table, just start building a nuclear arsenal.
You think, by any chance, Kim Jong Un is paying attention?
That’s a load of crap! Trump has been planning a run for the presidency for years. He has changed his political party affiliation like the rest of us change our dirty drawers. He has been a liberal progressive for his entire life. When he started to seriously entertain a presidential run he left the Democrats to become an Independent, then a faux Republican, and a Conservative Republican no less. The Iran deal wasn’t even a whisper when Trump was considering his run; that notion is laughable!
Actually, you’re the load of crap. I see you’re up to your usual sleazy, reptilian, forked tongue diatribes, proving your Trump Derangement Syndrome complicated by Trump Jealousy. Your problem is you’re upset that you’re not the recipient of his love and largess, that you don’t have magnificent homes all over the country, that you don’t fly in a private 757, that you don’t have the things Donald could provide. ROFLMAO
Attention all Trump supporters: Donald Trump announced his intention to run for the Republican
nomination for President of the United States last June. Donald Trump and those of us who support him have been subjected to unwarranted attacks from the day he made the announcement. We have remained true to our beliefs, and we have prevailed. It doesn’t matter than our candidate is the last man standing, and will win in November – the attacks continue. Please ignore the ignorant rants of
all those mental little people who post negative comments about Donald Trump and his supporters – they are sore losers., especially the # never Trump group who are neither Republican nor conservative, just RINOs. Just recognize them for what they are – either a liberal socialist communist democrat or a lily livered, mealy mouthed, spineless, gutless, forked tongue, politically correct, double speak, do nothing, go along to get along, afraid of your shadow, girly man or manly woman, new castrati eunuch elite republican establishment phony. Unfortunately for them, they are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome complicated by Trump Jealousy. Pity them because soon they will have to face facts and say “President Trump”. If they survive this trauma without commitment, hopefully they will slither back under their rocks or creep under their bridge. I replied to a couple of comments before I realized they are nothing more than paid DNC trolls and their only interest is to aggravate and provoke a response.
The only response necessary is —- ROFLMAO.
Your concern over my possible affliction with “derangement syndrome” is touching, however, you might consider reading your post, then reevaluating your own level of derangement!
Poor sad soul suffers the same crass adolescent behavior as his beloved Messiah, coupled with monumental ignorance!
The Trump cultists don’t realize that they are sounding and acting just like those lefties that they profess to abhor.
Take a good look at the Obozo cultists and you might see why we support our next President Trump!
Indeed I do understand your support of Trump!
“Pent-up anger and long-held frustration due to economic stagnation, moral decay, spiritual impotency and political corruption, invariably pave the way for the rise of crass manipulators. Instead of the Mastery of truth, such Revolutionary opportunists tap into fear and rage, ignorance and prejudice, staging great public spectacles of narcissism!” Guillaume Groen Prinsterer
Ted we have had 8 years of failure! You have no facts to backup what you said about a Trump presidency. If you feel that way does that mean you prefer the Murdering, deceitful, lying Killary? Because we know alot more facts on her. If you don’t vote for Trump you will be voting for the continuation of Obozo’s failures. Wake up. We need to take a chance and Killary or Bernie is NOT the answer.
You are, of course right that neither Hillary or Bernie have an answer to our problems ! However you seem blinded to the simple fact that , NEITHER does Trump!
Does it not bother you at all that Trump accurately describes the rampant corruption involved with politics and politicians, and vigorously riles against it, YET, history shows that, for his entire public life, HE, himself was one of the Primary Financiers of that same system? His reasoning for this, read ‘Rationalization’ was “Everybody does it!”! Really? That’s who you believe can, or even would try to make positive changes?
Look, he wasn’t my first choice. Having said that he won and I will support him. If I don’t support him I would be insuring a Killary presidency. That will not happen. You better join the ranks or your part of the problem.
They certainly do love to use the tactics of the Progressive prophet Alinsky!!
It’s sickening! Even those who claim to be Conservatives want to give the narcissistic, liberal liar, Trump, a pass when it comes to honesty, history, or class. They forget that he has a life long history of loving Hillary & Bill’s dirty drawers! We had a better choice and turned it down! Shame on us!
They simply refuse to vett the purveyor of such grandiose promises! The adage “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth!”, wasn’t intended as an advisement, it was intended as a dire warning instead!
It’s the same mindset that causes the sales person to be successful with disingenuous claims like “We are selling this below market value!” or “We won’t make a profit from this sale!” ! When ever I’m told those things I don’t walk out I RUN out!
Next time that you break into a sprint, look behind you, you’ll probably see me!
Interesting Obama our president has his head in the toilet because hes confused while he has you changing signs for him. Now this is what I call deranged
No need for re-evaluation. I recognize a load of crap (you) when I read it.
It must be rough having such a nasty disposition with zero wit to soften it!
He is supposed to have wit? Why is that?
If you choose to be that nasty it would be nice to soften it, with a little wit; that’s all.
You are 100% correct.
William Clinton convinced Trump to run, we’ll have to wait a little while longer to find out exactly what he promised him!
Ok smart one Donald has been talking about this for over 25 years, his tone then about how the government is run, is the same today. What Liberal doesn’t want to make this country great again. If he is just half successful he will accomplish more than the present fool. Also if Hillary is so good why did her Party make her the sacrificial lamb 8 years ago?. If you look at his interview with Oprah his commitment has been the same today as it was with her 25 years ago!! Now I like committment. I would rather he be the man than the woman trying to get in. We don’t need anymore sleaze in the White House
Really? 17 years ago, when asked which Party he would run for he answered , “Democrat of course. I’ve always been more Liberal than Conservative.”
But when the SHTF, the so-called conservatives are worse than the liberals. They have jumped over to the Democrat party!
Siren Song! Irresistible, apparently!
Given that Trump is neither that good looking nor able to sing, perhaps the Pied Piper analogy is more fitting here!
Judas Goat
Trojan Horse
All are reasonably applicable !
Tom, I actually checked out that 20 year old interview with Trump & Oprah and your premise is extremely weak! In that same interview Trump also praises the lefty race baiter, Jesse Jackson and the Democratic Progressive, Michael Dukakis, it certainly shows which way his political, social, and moral leanings tilt. If I had any doubts before, you’ve certainly cleared them up. Trump, was, and remains, a Democratic Progressive!
How do you sum it up to a progressive democrat. He says nothing that would link him to Obama! A lot of politicians supported Jesse and Michael the tank commander. I did I was a democrat at that time. John frinckin Kerry changed my stance. His message (Trump) has remained the same for over 25 years was my point to you, I like someone who will stand for something and not fall for anything. Hillary swings as her money does. Again if she is so good why did the party make her the sacrfical lamb against Barack? She weak at Best that is why she can’t put away Saunders. She is also an accomplished social liar, who has started to get her stories mixed up. The reason I believe that Bernie has not dropped out is that he knows that there is a indictment coming down on her a$$ and he is going to pick up the scraps
So your for Hillary or the bern?
It came out that Obama lied to the country about the Iran deal. The news media puts in on the back pages if it was a republican they would have gone 24/7 until they were impeached.
Ever hear of Iran-Contra?
Wasn’t Reagan president?
Wasn’t he a REPUBLICAN?
Listen you dumb F—ing retard. Giving some help to the insurgents compared to giving billions to a country that wants us dead. You sir should ask for your money back on that lobotomy you got because they left the IDIOT parts alone in there. Now head back to your room an do some more coloring.
Kriss that was great I like that. osama obama has been lying to American right from day one,the day he said he would uphold the laws of the land and the U.S. constitution.The squirrels on the left will always find some nit picking nut to chew on rather than see the truth , that their king is a total moron and the laughing stock of the world and a yuuugggge embarrassment to America.
Thanks and your right, that bag eared, Alinsky styled moron is and always has been a disgrace to America. Funny (well not so funny because it’s true) how all these idiots that think he’s great must not really pay attention. Just a week or so ago they were saying how he was able to keep the price of gasoline low for this last 6 months or so. REALLY??? You think he had ANYTHING to do with it??? Try the Saudis dumping oil in the market and running the price of crude through the floor. Yeah, brought prices down and thousands of American oil field workers lost their jobs. I could go on and on about this idiot Obeyme but I have a life.
Well if they admitted that – they would have to also admit they voted for him, which makes them even more stupid. They will just go on defending him to save face.
guess that is kinda like being double stupid huh. Hope we can last until SFB is out of the white house….. Go Trump!!
Reagan was senile and a figurehead .. Cheney was running the show.. Reagan was good man, great orator and a simpleton.
So says the insane Marxist sock puppet.
Now then, just crawl back under your rock and pick the festering scabs off of what used to be your pus filled brain.
ONE word, of outrage, when President Reagan ordered Oliver North to sell arms to Ayatollah Khomeini?
ONE word, of outrage, when Trump Taj Mahal paid a $10,000,000 fine to ISIS?
It let terrorists use it to launder money!
Terrorists!
ISIS?
One word, of encouragement, when Attorney-General Janet Reno ENFORCED our immigration laws?
Remember the Elian Gonzales case?
Ever gear of Iran-Contra?
Did Reagan order Oliver North to sell arms to Ayatollah Khomeini?
Did Trump ever hear about that?
Trump Taj Mahal paid a $10,000,000 fine to FinCens!
its bookkeeping was so sloppy that it was used, by terrorists, to launder money.
Terrorists!
ISIS??
How many vets died because of that?
Good job?
Just another example of Obama’s continual lying to the American people…Go Trump MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Nixon told the truth?
Was he a liar?
A crook?
Want more of that??
Nixon lied too, but compared to the continual lying of Obama, Nixon was an angel. Obama & Hillary are two of a kind, Chronic Liars. Do you want more of that?
The problem is one of perception and reality. Iran will make us perceive they are a threat to us so that we will react by giving then more favorable… whatever.. Since Arabs understand and love money highly, they create perceptions that is when we grant them more money, they will not harm us. “Extortion” comes to mind. Complicating this is that Obama is a Muslim and looks to his next “job”, which will likely be in the UN or in the East somewhere. So he keeps his Muslim credentials in order. He bought a lot of favor with the Deal, but I think that his Muslim friends want him to get Hillary in office by ANY means, or he will loose some of those credentials, i.e. he’s now backed into a corner. B.O.’s antics will only get worse from now through 20 January, 2017 because your feckless congress is become toothless to eliminate him. Pray!
The Iran nuclear deal was based of the idea that Iran had been developing nuclear technology, including weapons, for years, and intelligence sources estimated they could have a bomb within one to four years if not stopped. The deal, accompanied by rigorous inspections, pushed that back ten years with the hope circumstances could intervene in the meantime that might eliminate the weapon threat entirely. So there you have it: a nuclear weapon sooner, or later, or not at all. What to do. If nothing, then bomb them in a couple of years with all the ensuing side effects that experts in the area fear, such as widespread destabilization throughout the region and the Iranians rebuilding their bomb program with a vengeance, or waiting for possibly a better outcome (with bombing always an alternative). The idea Iran had a nuclear weapon project to get rid of the sanctions means they risked being attacked if no deal was ever made. That’s a pretty big risk.
Bunch of Hooey. The deal was to lift SANCTIONS that had been placed upon them due their admitted research into nuclear materials which they claimed was for peaceful purposes.. The truth is , it doesn’t matter. Nuclear research is Nuclear Research.. peaceful or not, it still technology that can be used either way.
The $billions$ was their money, frozen by the sanctions.. During the sanctions, they stockpiled their oil, they did so by building tankers for that. They then flooded the market with their oil.. oil prices tumbled. They have the largest oil tanker capacity fleet in the world
Tell the truth..All this revolves around a transplanted people squatting in a little country in the ME, with tentacles or web into the world financial markets and their international power brokers.
Thank God for Trump. I just do not know if there is any thing that can be done about the Iran Deal at this point. I think O took the opportunity to be in power to permanently and irreparably screw us.
I am grateful somebody besides all of America could see this was a up the wazoo deal . Congress/ Senate didn’t make any noise about it much less stop him . This will be a war we must put a stop to now
Obama is the biggest liar America ever had besides Hillary. Trump questioned Japan and South Korea regarding nuclear weapons and who pays for them. Oh boy, the liberals came unglued over that. Apparently, the liberals are saying only the bad guys get nuclear weapons because Bill Clinton gave them to North Korea along with a stack of money to spend. In more modern times, Obama gave nuclear weapons to Iran along with 150 billion dollars to spend! Go figure people!
Remember SALT1?
SALT2?
Nixon and Reagan were liberals?
