The reflecting pool debacle is the perfect visual metaphor for the Trump Administration - superficial approaches to complex problems leading to worse outcomes than if he had done nothing.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

“Let’s be honest about what this is. Donald Trump hired a company that was not qualified, they did a shoddy job, and because he has such a fragile ego, now Donald Trump has to play make believe that, in fact, this was the work of 'elusive vandals'... this is all just bad community theater."

They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

🚨 This Was The Most Revealing Exchange In Hegseth’s 60 Minutes Interview.

Pete Hegseth defended the new Iran agreement by saying the document guarantees Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, never seek one, and never obtain one.

Then came Brennan’s response:

The Obama-era JCPOA said that too.

Notice what happened next.

Hegseth didn’t argue that Brennan was wrong.

He didn’t say the provision was new.

Instead, he argued the difference was that this agreement was negotiated “from a position of strength.”

Not whether Iran promised not to build a nuclear weapon.

Both sides appear to agree similar language existed before.

The disagreement is whether military pressure and leverage make this agreement more durable than the one Trump withdrew from.
