In an interview with ABC News' Rachel Scott, Trump said he's open to Russian President Vladimir Putin serving as a mediator in the conflict -- something he said the Russian president pitched in their phone call on Saturday.

Trump's seems to be proposing his solution for world peace and keeping his campaign promise to keep us out of war:

1] Send in the Military
2] Let Putin do the Negotiations

On Iran calling-off Nuclear Talks with the U.S.:

"They'd like to make a deal"

'No', I'm not making this up.

Not quite. It was the guy who didnt know where he was most of the time in Biden. It's laughable anyone would claim someone was worse than him.

It's hard to imagine having a worse President (and cabinet/staff) at this moment in world history.

he was just as bad, earlier. His withdrawal of the JCPOA is what got us here. He never put anything in its place, letting Iran go back to enrichment.

Now that he blew-off his earlier responsibilities, his solution is - believe it or not - let Putin determine the War's end!

You can't make this up . . .

Yeah, and mainly because he folds like a cheap suit and wings it most of the time rather than presenting a well thought out idea on what he thinks should happen.

Well, it does look like Trump is considering the getting involved in foreign entanglements despite stating he was not going to do that. In this case it would be to help a nation who started a conflict continue to escalate it. Do you recall when the last administration did that?

I'd offer he's the single-worse Pres, at any time!

I'd rather have him preoccupied & focused overseas, then going after us here in the States.

You’re acting under the assumption that the man is capable of focusing on ANY of it.

I don’t think he is. It’s all moods and ego

And the worst part is - there is no one competent around him that even knows WTF they are doing.
 
We need to stay the hell out of it.

I suppose Trump's handing-off Iranian Nuclear Negotiations to Putin, might be the Ultimate TACO.

He is one of the top ten presidents of all time.

Are you an illegal alien? If not, how is he going after you? He's not.

I do believe Iranian officials are rational enough to not target US bases. However, there is the chance of rogue terror cells attacking US bases throughout the ME. However, if the Iranian government collapses, all bets are off. Chaos across Iraq & Iran will ensue & make 2003 - 2010 Iraq look like child's play as factions look to take control of both countries.

Exactly. He never presents thought-out plans, with timelines or resource expenditures, nor does he define the metrics for determining success. It's like we fly blind, continuously.

In the business world when your impulsivity destroy your business entity, you declare bankruptcy protection, while your other business entities continue to bring-in cash if they are doing so.

But how do you declare bankruptcy protection for a country you lead into an abyss?
