actually got the worst of all worlds. we basically have the president generate an artificial crisis because he doesn t want to sign a document that acknowledges something barack obama did was half good and working, so instead we create the crisis. shake the confidence of european partners and then punt it to congress in a confused mess that isn t that intimidating or effective. you end up with the worst of all worlds. the iranians are probably saying this could be the end of the nuclear agreement. on the other hand, this is not actually very intimidating. and then you add to the fact that you have others, russians, chinese looking at this probably scratching their heads and the israelis and saudis, probably underwhelmed overall. the president doesn t need congress to do any of what he actually laid out today. he could do all of this himself if he wanted to by laying out red lines. instead he punts it to congress because he can t make a decision himself. steve, if you were worried abo
why promise something you can t deliver? comcast business is different. we deliver super-fast internet with speeds of 150 megabits per second across our entire network, to more companies, in more locations, than at&t. we do business where you do business. we are going to have great health care in our country. we re taking a little different route than we had hoped because getting congress they forgot what their pledges were. so we re going a little different route. but you know what, in the end it s going to be just as effective and maybe it will even be better. well, better is not really the way democrats and even some republicans are describing president trump s latest move in what seems to be his plan to unravel obamacare. just in the last hour, president
grenade into the room. the president has kind of rolled the grenade in the room, had it go off, without having a strategy as to where we re going. the reality is that we now have a desertification of this agreement, and that they re not in compliance when they are in fact in compliance. we re out there alone without our allies. we have broken our word. and the bottom line here is that we re throwing this whole mess to congress, which doesn t have a very good record of trying to deal with anything, much less the situation in iran. it s going to create a tremendous amount of confusion in a world that s already very dangerous. john, i mean, to just put a finer point on that. congress can t get the easy things done. i am not sure they could successfully name a post office these days. and we have a situation where the president and the administration are coming out
right now we ll take a quick turn over to foreign policy expectations as leezly as he made them. with that i will bring in steve clemens. i want to ask you, the biggest foreign policy question is this iran nuclear deal. he vowed to renegotiate the terms. could he derail this completely? reporter: well, i think what he can do is he can tell the iranians, we would be immediately isolating ourselves. it is in the a treaty. it is an international arrangeme arrangement. just like president obama didn t need congress to proceed with the iran deal donald trump doesn t need congress to basically pull out of it. it is an international arrangement for europe, other
it was appointing a special prosecutor to appoint hillary clinton and building the wall. if you had to do one, two, three in order of priority, what would it be? . there s so much that will be. on day one he doesn t need congress to renegotiate nafta. so i think trade will be top of his agenda because he can do that on his own. repealing and replacing obamacare, especially given speaker ryan has a good plan that will keep the good parts we ve seen like people who have pre-existing conditions being able to get care. so they can work with paul ryan on that. and agenda item number one needs to be ethics reforms. we ve seen in the both parties that have abused power. donald trump was a man of the people, he s bringing the city back to the people and agenda item number one is ethics reforms, not allowing lobbyists to lobby our senators. the best way to promote unity, clean up the tax bill. we ll have simple, easy tax reform, it would be a home run and it will bring republicans home in
