Understanding Dolt 45

Since US President Donald Trump certified that Iran was honoring the nuclear deal in July, he has sent strong signals that he does not plan to do the same again come October, leaving experts unsure of his endgame and warning that such a move could mushroom into the disintegration of the entire pact even if Tehran is holding up its end of the deal.

[...]

To do so, the administration will likely have to disregard the findings of inspectors with the International Atomic Energy Agency, who are expected to say Iran is respecting the landmark accord with minor lapses when they publish their latest report this week.

[...]

Decertifying Iran would have no tangible impact on the deal. The mandate is an agreement former president Barack Obama forged with Congress that is separate from the international accord forged between Iran and world powers.

[...]

“To my judgment, this is a willful effort, since most of what the president does is designed to reshape or overturn or undermine the policies of his predecessor, to begin the unraveling of this agreement,” [Aaron David Miller, a former State Department official] told The Times of Israel.

Bingo. Trump operates on purely emotional stimuli. He hates Obama so much, he's blind to the efficacy or appropriateness of anything Obama has done. He just wants to undo it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
