30. Also, it is NOT a deal yet, at best it is an MOU to make a nuclear deal

This reminds me of the late 1960s, when a girl from my dorm returned from Christmas holidays with a pre engagement ring, explaining that it was a commitment to become engaged in the future.

Now, remember it took a big capable team, including John Kerry and Dr Moniz, years before they had a framework, then an interim agreement (to test if Iran would comply) then a final deal.

Now, after destroying any trust by unilaterally rejecting the Obama agreement in the first term, then a full scale attack killing many top leaders while they were negotiating a nuclear deal, somehow we are to believe that they will have a complete deal in 60 days with a negotiating team of two real estate men.
