DonOld is so jealous of Obama. He can’t move on from the joke at the White House Press dinner. DonOld has nursed that grudge for almost two decades.

You're so effing stupid, consistently I might add. Why did Obama give the mullahs so much money anyway? It was buying some time money that only fools, like you, think otherwise.

It was their money to start with. Do you think we should have kept it?
"Kirk, founder of conservative student group Turning Point USA, was likely referring to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which granted Iran access to frozen assets.
This was not funding given to Iran. The amount quoted refers to foreign assets that belonged to Iran and were frozen by sanctions imposed to impede its nuclear program. The JCPOA was also an international agreement between Iran and a number of major world powers, including the U.S."
Fact Check: Did the US under Obama give Iran $150 Billion?
U.S. is said to have handed $150 billion to Iran eight years ago, as tensions between the two nations worsen.

Obama was, and is, an amateur as a diplomat. He failed miserably on the world stage other than to be liked by Leftist leaders.

Yes I do, Iran was near bankrupt and that money helped considerably to buy new weapons. That money should have been used as compensation for all the terrorism initiated Iran and for the Carter hostage crisis.

Color me unsurprised that you'd take the position of keeping something that's not yours.
On his worst day Obama was a better diplomat than trump on his best day. In fact, it would be hard to call trump "diplomatic" on any day. He's just a whiny baby who has a hissy fit when people don't toe his line.

"Trump blames (insert Democrat here)" is as good a description of who Trump is as just about anything.
Obama campaigned for Hillary, Joe, and Kamala and we know how that turned out. He who laughs last laughs the hardest.
Yes it was their money that we withheld because they sponsored TERRORISM. Giving that money back cost American soldiers lives.It was their money to start with. Do you think we should have kept it?

The money existed prior to the ayatollahs taking over in a revolution. Therefore, it was the Shah's money not the ayatollah's.
Give me an example of that.

Crazy Trump needs a scapegoat to deflect his incompetence
You should say. how much cash did he return to Iran that was theirs.
“First of all, former President Barack Obama didn’t give “150 billion in cash” to Iran.
The nuclear agreement included China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own. The deal did lift some sanctions, which lifted a freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. And, to be clear, the money that was unfrozen belonged to Iran. It had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program.
Secondly, $150 billion is a high-end estimate of the total that was freed up after some sanctions were lifted. U.S. Treasury Department estimates put the number at about $50 billion in “usable liquid assets,” according to 2015 testimony from Adam Szubin, acting under secretary of treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.”

A viral meme distorts the facts about the Iran nuclear agreement. The deal, approved by six countries and the European Union, gave Iran access to its own frozen assets.

Law breakers cash is kept every day
Iran is a sponsor of Terrorism...sponsoring terrorism is a crime under international law.
So if we seize drug cartel money....drug dealing is a crime, do we give it back to them? It was also their money
