Appearing on NBC News’ Meet the Press on Sunday, Trump drew a contrast with candidates who have promised to cancel the deal on their first day in office. It would be very difficult, he said, to “rip up” the deal, since much of it takes effect whether Congress likes it or not. However, he said, “I would police that contract so tough that they don’t have a chance. As bad as the contract is, I will be so tough on that contract.”
Trump’s analysis tracks closely to what several experts have advised, including Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, who has recently written that since Congress can do little to stop Obama from ignoring its will, it should react by passing an authorization for the use of military force in advance of any violations by Iran.

Wrong answer. The next president needs to BLOW it up along with the Iranian gov’t.
Trump has a lot of credibility when it comes to contracts. I believe him when he says he will be very tough with it.
Trump is wrong on this one. He could simply say, “Sorry, it wasn’t passed constitutionally with the advice and the consent of the Senate. My hands are tied. It’s a dead deal.”
I follow Trumps logic on this. Since Corker was hoodwinked out of a treaty. The only answer is to pursue a use of force resolution, and to work with Israel and the Gulf Arabs logistically to help them do what they need to do. Obama will ignore congress. And since the wusses won’t impeach, we have few options. Pray we don’t hit hit by the magic mullas with a nuke armed ballistic missile before Jan 2017
Of course we know you can't trust them....so you gotta catch'm.
In the case of Iran, if one is going to do something, never telegraph the moves. If one is going to renegotiate, credibly threaten.
No doubt there are withdrawal clauses written in it. Trump will terminate when they violate them.
Trump will NOT get our votes!
he has no effective way of “policing” the “deal”.... the lack of meaningful enforceability (coupled with Iran’s repeated and continuing threats to bomb USA and continue exporting terror in the mideast and Africa)..... is a big part of why the “deal” is such a huge sellout of USA
Trump, you just made a super-sized and most critical mistake.
A grave mistake, pardon the bad pun
you are correct. even the IAEA says they are always 2 steps behind the Iranian crooksters. Trump is delusional if he thinks he can police them from halfway around the world. he’s starting to believe his own publicity. bad sign.
 Please keep those donations coming in, folks. We need to wrap this baby up soon. And we truly do need your continuing support to keep FR on the air. If you love using FR and think it's a worthwhile endeavor, please help us keep it going by making a donation today. Thank you all very much! God bless. ~ Jim. We cannot exist without you. |
This one thing right here is enough reason for any thinking conservative to dismiss Trump as a candidate.
No way will he get a vote in this house.
This is a question of tactics, not strategy. If you believe Trump will allow Iran to go nucleur, you’re kidding yourself.
I don’t trust a thing he says. If you want to abandon common sense and put your trust in some celebrity, that’s your thing, I guess.
I’m judging him on an issue by issue basis. So are you upset with his position on Iran because you don’t trust him or because you disagree with him?
I’m not upset with him because I frankly couldn’t care less about him. He’s a Democrat and a shyster, and he’s not even up for consideration by me.
You seemed upset to me, but I’ll take your word for it that you weren’t. I thought you were criticizing the specifics of what Trump said regarding Iran, since that’s what this thread is about. Now I understand where you’re coming from. You don’t like Trump and don’t trust him. Fair enough, that’s your right. But if that’s the case, it really doesn’t matter to you what Trump says. He could say all the right things or all the wrong things and to you, it wouldn’t matter, because you don’t trust him, which, which of course, is your prerogative.
Maybe I wouldn’t seem upset if you folks didn’t personalize everything about Trump. I don’t fall madly love with political candidates, so they don’t have the power to “upset me.”
And you’re right, it doesn’t matter what he says, because words are cheap, and Trump is a master of the BS line. I look at his past, his record, and his history.
This is the way savvy businessmen get out of bad deals. Unfortunately you can’t just up and not honor international agreements once signed without serious reputational repercussions globally (not just among our enemies), but what you can do is watch their every move and call them out on committing a breach of the agreement as grounds for termination. Then it’s on them, not us.
No agreement is ever followed to the letter, and that’s how Fortune 500 companies do it when there’s a bad deal - like Trump said, they police/audit the heck out of a contract and when a breach inevitably occurs, they pounce and end it.
Brilliant stuff.
Relax. You don’t have to like Trump, but if your criticisms of him are not substantive, then you’re rightly going to get some pushback. You had nothing substantive to say regarding Trump’s latest comments on Iran. You simply repeated your only argument against him, which is that you don’t trust him or believe anything he says.
