Ah yes, in Kpdemelloland, everything always happens on schedule, with no obstacles along the way, no deception from opponents or setbacks, proclamations from tyrants are readily believed, and where it's expected to have finished results in 2 years on issues that were ignored and mis-managed for 60 years.
Ignored and mismanaged? Obama had a deal in place with Iran to prevent them from building nukes, Trump pulled out of it. If this was a setback, it was caused by Trump. I agree there was mismanagement here, but it started when Trump took office.
Real talk - Trump has made things worse not better, and he has no significant foreign policy achievement to date, after more than two years in office. And I don't expect finished results, but two plus years is a significant sample size. Yet in that time we don't even have evidence of significant progress on any major foreign policy issue facing this administration. Instead, we have seen numerous failures - Helsinki, Venezuela, Russian sanctions, N. Korea, and now Iran. I thought results mattered to you? Or do they only matter when it's not your guy in office?
Also, given the political fallout of the Mueller report, it's looking less and less likely that Trump will get a second term. There's an outside chance he may not finish out this one. With less than two years left in office, it's increasingly likely that foreign countries are just going to ignore him as a lame duck. And that's a problem he created by his poor conduct while in office.
Sooner or later you're going to realize that this guy has been a terrible leader and one of the worst presidents in history.
