Trump said the 2015 agreement, which included Germany, France and Britain, was a “horrible one-sided deal that should never ever have been made.” He added that the United States “will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction.”

Okay. That’s one of the things he needed to do.

(I guess it would be asking too much for him to get our money back.)

He goes from being a ‘populist’ to an ‘isolationist’ with the signing of his name...

Perhaps this is the deadly wound to the ‘new world order?

So...what happens to the billions that Odumbo and his cretins sank into this Deal? Will that be withdrawn also? Can it be spent on building a decent wall between us and Mexico?

I remember EVERY Hussein Head saying in support of the Fraud’s “deal”, “You don’t want us to go to WAR, do you?!”

Like if we didn’t pay tribute to Iran, their god the Fraud was going to lead us into war.

I’d say you can count on the NWO to try anything.

Anything.

Keep covering our President in your prayers, FReepers.
