We HAD a treaty with Iran over nukes. Trump ripped it up his first term and thinks we all forgot about it

I feel like I'm living in a Groundhog's Day scenario.

The year is 2018. Donald Trump is somehow president of the United States. He believes paying Iran to not enrich uranium is a waste of money and cancels an Obama-era nuclear deal with them. Iran immediately begins a uranium enrichment program.

The year is 2025. Donald Trump is somehow president of the United States (again). He believes Iran is enriching uranium, and he drops a bomb on the suspected site. Trump claims Iran nuclear capabilities are "obliterated".

The year is 2026. Donald Trump is somehow president of the United States (still). He believes Iran is enriching uranium (still). He publicly announces plans to strike the suspected site.

So I'm guessing that dropping a bomb on Iran annually will be something you'll eventually be able to set your watch to. At least while Trump is around.
