Unfortunately - decisions that Trump makes do not just affect the US - but have a ripple effect on the rest of the world too. Just simple things like the sharp increase in oil price following his Iran announcement means my fuel price will go up next month - and I live in South Africa which has nothing to do with the spat with Iran.

Here, here!!!

I have discovered that those that wring their hands over the miss-steps or faux-pas of Trump, tend to be disciples of the mainstream media (MSM). The MSM used to, for the most part, serve unbiased fact-based news. But since the 2016 US election cycle, have jumped in bed with whichever political party owns them. They all have an agenda. You can choose to believe them if you wish, but everything, EVERYTHING, they broadcast these days is to serve that agenda. The president could have a bowel movement, and they would somehow spin this to be the worst possible thing he could do, if they didn't like him.

To the original post, the original Iran nuclear deal was a bad one. Him ripping it up doesn't mean he doesn't want Iran to stop pursuing nukes. He believes there is a better way to achieve this result, than with that worthless piece of paper. To paraphrase an old saying: There are lies, damned lies, and then statistics. And then you have the news media.
