“When Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that any agreement with Iran must be ‘great and meaningful,’ or there would be no agreement at all, he appeared to be drawing a wall between himself and Barack Obama’s nuclear deal. He wanted to make clear that even if negotiations were underway, they would be Trumpian negotiations: tougher, more forceful, and the ‘exact opposite’ of an agreement he had spent years denouncing as a symbol of weakness. But that statement revealed less strength than contradiction. A president who once treated Obama’s diplomacy with Iran as appeasement now has to sell his own diplomacy as victory.” (05/27/26)
