Trump's will need to know this stuff on a practical basis when he wins the election. Currently, he's learning how to conduct an election campaign. I doubt he has time for this trivia. A professional pol already knows how to run for office. Trump is too consumed with the election effort to worry about geopolitical Trivial Pursuit.

At the same time, he needs to point out that foreign policy isn't about specific personalities, but big overarching issues. The Iranian deal isn't bad because of some specific Iranian leader. It's bad because it will accelerate Iran's drive towards nuclear weapons. I'm surprised a big picture guy like Trump couldn't point this out.
