Iran found that out when they were abiding by the Obama Iran nuclear deal.
And then Trump comes in and goes, I don't like this thing.
We're canceling it.
And so what did that tell Iran?
It told Iran, we can't really trust the United States when we sign a treaty, when we do a deal.
And that, of course, was the catalyst for ending up where we are today.
Trump does always chicken out for different reasons.
But the primary reason is he's just not that good at this.
I want to speak directly to the Trump voters.
Now, if you voted for Trump once, I want to talk to you.
If you voted for Trump two or three times, I especially want to talk to you.
Trump voters are hitting a wall that they didn't seem to have seen coming and it is going to hit them harder than almost anybody else.
Now, as a clarification, everyone is getting hurt by Trump in different ways.
But I'm going to argue that the red state Trump voters are the ones who are getting the pounded, getting pounded the absolute worst.
for a couple of different reasons.
First of all, what they voted for and what they're getting are very different things.
And the gap is where the consequences really show up.
You start with the economy.
This is where there is this mismatch that is impossible to ignore and it is affecting people's everyday lives.
Trump's promises were lower prices, stronger growth, economic stability.
