The instant analysis on cable TV of President Trumps decision to dump the Iran deal had a weary resignation to it: He said he would do this.
Indeed, he had. Trump repeatedly promised to pull out of the deal on the campaign trail and had made it a target from the time that Barack Obama first entered into it in 2015.
His exit from the agreement is another instance of the Trump paradox: The president who says more outlandish and untrue things than anyone who has ever occupied the office of the presidency is also extraordinarily determined to deliver on his big promises.
Trump often doesnt mean what he says, but when he says what he means watch out. The combined forces of international pressure, polite opinion, outraged New York Times editorials, resistant advisers and sheer inertia arent an obstacle.
Many of Trumps loose promises in the campaign werent remotely deliverable (he was never going to drop Bowe Bergdahl out of an airplane over Afghanistan with no parachute).
But on his signature pledges, hes been committed, usually more than anyone around him. Hes been particularly stalwart on those promises that require blasting through entrenched conventional wisdom and elite resistance.

“When Trump was elected, it seemed he might be endlessly flexible and up for grabs.”
It only SEEMED that way to YOU Rich, because you were too stupid to realize that Trump was a total outsider who meant what he said, unlike ALL other politicians who you were used to lying to you, whereas the REST of us knew damn good and well that Trump was going to do his damnedest to keep as many of his promises as humanly possible ...
“Whereas Trump, who has never been house-trained as a politician...”
He should have written what he was thinking: “potty-trained”
Rick Lowry is so late to the bugle. He was so outta here, taking up with the oh, so righteous NeverTrumpers, fanning flames at National Review with that despicable ad/petition, signed by all those oh-so-righteous.
Let’s not forget Amanda Carpenter, shall we? She still sounds like Ana Navarro. Bizarro. Both are anti-American.
FIVE minutes, not ten. :-)

I dont recall who said this a year or two ago. Maybe Levine.
