LOS ANGELES (OC).–Fake News ABC partnered with former President Barack Obama to discredit President Donald Trump’s new Iranian peace plan consumaated June 14 with a formal signing ceremony scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland. Showing the kind of corporate propaganda the masquerades as new, ABC News quoted Obama, a hardcore Democrat operative for his opinion on Trump’s recent deal. Obama told ABC News Robin Roberts that it’s “doubtful” that any deal with Iran would be substantially the same as the once he negotiated in 2015 only to watch it cancelled by Trump May 8, 2018. Saying any deal would not be “significantly different,’ ABC News and Obama conspires to gaslight the puclic about Trump new peace deal with Iran. Trump went to war with Iran for the expressed purpose of destroying Iran’s nuclear and conventional military capability.
What is Obama talking about with Robin Roberts about the deal being no different than when he negotiated it in 2015. Obama didn’t go to war with Iran, he took two years to pay Iran off billions for an agreement to limit uranium enrichment for 10 years to 3.5%, the amount used in reactor fuel. Trump went to war with Iran to actually degrade Iran’s nuke program and military capability. After weeks of war, Trump succeeded degrading Iran’s nuke and military capability, now poised to get a peace deal that minizes the chances of Iran developing an A-bomb. Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] was only one aspect of what Trump has done to degrade Iran as the chief sponsor of state terrorism in the Middeast. How disingenuous of Obama to tell Roberts that he doesn’t think Trump deal is any different than his agreement.
How can any ABC News show pass itself off as anything but the most cynical propaganda, designed to only advance a Democrat agenda. Obama wants to discredit Trump because he knows that his peace deal with Iran harms the Democrat Party narrative heading into the Midterm elections. What can Democrats and the fake news say now? Trump got the U.S. into a costly quagmire with no end in sight. Well, that’s what they’ve been saying since Trump joined Israel in a joint mssion to finish what they started last year, degrading the Iranian military. “It’s doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different of a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place and had workd for a long stretch of time before we, the United States, pullout out of it,” Obama said. No one ine Democrats Party is better at gaslighting than Obama.
Obama and other Democrats are worried that ending the Iran War and watching the economy boom, especially falling gas prices, helps the GOP’s chances in the 2026 Midterm elections. How long have voters only heard about the lack of affordability, high gas prices and inflation under Trump” What happens when, in fact, things turn around qauickly with oil prices falling from over $100 a barel to under $75? All Obama and fake news can do is stick to the same narraitive that plays well to hardcore Democrats but not independents. Independents don’t like the same gaslighting or preaching to the choir that Obama gets away with his progressive base. To Obama and other progressive leaders the election is about civil and gender rights, something they blame on Trump as a white racist. Democrats and fake news are stuck with the same narrative as former VP Kamala Harris.
Obama criticizes Trump for an aggressive foreign policy that finally put Iran in its place. Obama wants the public to see his diplomacy as superior because it avoided military conflict. Obama and his former Secretary of State John Kerry got an agreement without any way to verify or enforce Iran’s compliance with the agreement. Trump cancelled the agreement because Iran was out-of-compliance, enriching uranium at close to weapon’s grade fissile material. When Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bombed Iran’s nuclear program a year ago, it was precisely because Iran refused to stay in compliance. No Trump must negotiate what to do with Iran’s 1,000 pounds of 60% enriched uranium, somehow buried underground in once of Iran’s destroyed underground nuke facilities. When it comes to the future, time will tell about disposing of Iran’s nuke material.
Obama and the fake news can’t stop gaslighting the hardcore Democrat progressive base. Listening to the progressives in provanity-laced rants about Trump last night on his birthday tells you everything you need to know about the Democrat agenda. No matter what happens to the economy in the way of jobs, low energy prices and undeniable prosperity, Trump will only be sold by Obama as a homophobic racist, a dictator that violates the Constitution and rule of law. Trump was more than generous with Iran to complete the deal to end the war. Iran gets most of what it wants, collecting billions in frozen assets and sanctions relief in exchange for opening up the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping. Trump gets a big boom to the U.S. economy with lower gas prices following the end of Iran’s blocade on the Hormuz Strait. What happens with the nuke issues is anyone’s guess.
