Ah, the Arse of the Deal strikes again.

Mr. Big Shot Bloviator pizzed off Australia PM in first days of his Administration. Mr. Tough Guy said it'd never happen.

President Bonkers is fast becoming the Oh, Never Mind President.

Mike Pence says US will honor Australia refugee deal - CNNPolitics.com

Quote:
In a tweet posted February 2, Trump made his feelings about the agreement quite clear, saying: "Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!"
Quote:
US Vice President Mike Pence said Saturday that the United States would "honor" a refugee resettlement agreement forged with Australia in the closing days of the Obama administration, despite it previously being described by US President Donald Trump as a "dumb deal."

Yes, it's called being president.

Trump didn't make the deal (because it's destructive to our country) but he will honor pre existing deals because that is what the president has to do, even if he doesn't like it.

It's the same with the Iran deal, it's a bad deal, but the president will have to honor it to show the world that the US will honor its commitments.

Does that mean he is going to honor the Iran Nuke deal?

Here's the thing -- we all know that he would have to honor the deal....but Trump insisted he didn't....we knew better -- why didn't he.

No, Trump doesn't have to honor the deal, he could take action to stop the deal.

He is honoring the deal to show the world that the US will honor its commitments.

He doesn't have to and he shouldn't, but he is a globalist now and in spite of any promises to the contrary.

Trump does not have a history of honoring deals. The words came from Pence. More and more I wonder who is really running the country these days.

You are all right -- he doesn't HAVE to -- but we knew he would sort of diplomatically have to.

This is why threads criticizing Trump like this are so childish.

I get it, the haters haven't had anything to attack Trump on, so they have to resort to stuff like this.

Like I said, childish.
