Fulfilling a campaign promise, earlier this week Donald Trump officially withdrew the United States from the Obama-era nuclear deal with Iran, calling it “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.” For critics of the deal who recognized its flaws and did not turn a blind eye to evidence Iran was violating the terms of the agreement, this was welcome news a long time coming. Trump fulfilled his promise, and the days of kowtowing to terror-sponsoring regimes are behind us.
Naturally, Obama administration alums are throwing hissy fits. Obama himself released a statement calling the decision “a serious mistake.” Apparently, the man who gave billions of dollars and a pathway to creating nuclear weapons to the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism thinks he has any credibility on the issue. Of course, Obama, the self-proclaimed former constitutional law professor, should have known that Senate ratification is required for his deal to be legally binding. For all intents and purposes, Obama’s Iran deal was written in pencil, and Trump took his eraser to it.
Just like that, Obama’s "major" foreign policy achievement became yet another example of just how foolish Obama’s “I have a pen and a phone” approach to governing was for someone who wanted to establish a long-term legacy.
Below are the top four unilaterally implemented Obama policies Trump has successfully reversed:
It may have been Obama’s signature trade deal, but Trump was not “down with TPP” and he often referred to it as a bad deal while on the campaign trail. Trump made good on his promise to end it just days after taking office. The move was no surprise, and the fact that Obama didn’t go to Congress to approve the deal made it an obvious choice for President Trump’s chopping block.
In January, the Department of Health and Human Services rescinded Obama-era “legal guidance” that would have punished states for defunding Planned Parenthood, the nation’s number one abortion provider and big money donor to Democrats. The regulations “warned states that ending Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood or other health-care providers that offer abortions could be against federal law.” Of course, for many pro-life conservatives, while this was a welcome reversion of an Obama regulation, the subsequent omnibus bill that fully funded Planned Parenthood was not so welcome.
Perhaps one of Trump’s more brilliant moves in undoing Obama’s legacy was how he handled Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Aside from being pseudo-amnesty, one of the primary objections to DACA was that Congress, not the president unilaterally, is supposed to make decisions regarding issues of immigration. In place for five years at the time Trump ended it, nearly 800,000 people were protected from being deported under DACA, and reversing it was no simple issue. So Trump put the onus on Congress to work out a permanent solution. Trump said of his decision: "We will resolve the DACA issue with heart and compassion -- but through the lawful Democratic process -- while at the same time ensuring that any immigration reform we adopt provides enduring benefits for the American citizens we were elected to serve.”
At least as big ( and probably bigger in the long run ) was DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans) being rescinded.
Obama simply was a treasonous man who had no dedication to his oath of office concerning our Constitution.
Obama attpted to dis-assemble the USA for his entire 8 years in office both domestically and internationally.
Obama is now and was a liberal fascist who followed the Alinsky method of surreptitious destruction and the weaponizing of government against the people in order to bring about a utopian totalitarian state. As a matter of fact his followers in the DOJ, FBI , IRS are still trying to destroy the electoral will of the People. Obama has organized entire cities dedicated to the destruction of the US Southern border ( sanctuary cities) in defiance of the constitution itself.
Obama has perpetrated crimes at the level of treason and deserves to be indicted for them. The Iran Deal is but one of these.

Earlier this year, Obama’s Vice President Joe Biden lamented: “All he seems to be trying to do is undo everything that President Obama has done.”
Slo Joe, you effing “Mensa,” you broke the code!
“Obama simply was a treasonous man who had no dedication to his oath of office concerning our Constitution.”
He was a Black, Communist, Illegal Alien Wrecking Ball, bent on the total destruction of this country.
- Iran Nuke Deal (JCP)
- Tax Cuts
Also, the many small policy changes at EPA and Energy have been significant in their totality. I'm sure there is much more happening without fanfare, and being buried under the mass reporting on Russia, Stormy Daniels, North Korea, Syria, Iran, China, Trade War, ad infinitum.

The U.S. Treasury should coin Obama's image.
It would be a stimulus coin and quite possibly the best investment anyone could make becuase as every collector knows coins with a mistake on them are more valuable.
