RAW STORY
President Donald Trump has dragged the U.S. into a "really dangerous" situation that he can't get out of, according to one analyst.
David Pakman, a liberal YouTuber and host of "The David Pakman Show," argued in a recent reaction video that Trump's efforts to reinstate the terms of the Obama administration's Iran Nuclear Deal, which Trump tore up in 2018, have put the U.S. in a bad situation. On the one hand, it has given Iran some leverage in the negotiations to end the war. On the other hand, it has also soured the relationship between the U.S. and its European allies, Pakman argued.
"We are now getting a president saying out loud, 'I'm trying to get us back to where we were,'" Pakman said. "He can barely speak now, in comparison, with fragmented sentences and all of it. And the reason I'm referring to the cognitive stuff is that Trump wasn't even coherent enough to realize in 2018 that this deal was not bad."
"Now with another seven and a half to eight years of decline behind us, it is even less likely that he is going to be able to put something together," he added.
"So, as Trump tries to dissolve the problems that he created and solve issues that are of his own doing, allies around the world are saying, 'That is not something we want to be a part of.' And that's a really dangerous thing," he continued.
