Trump axed Iran deal to spite Obama: How the British ambassador called the President's actions...

....'diplomatic vandalism' fueled by 'personality reasons' - as revealed in more explosive cables that have sparked a free speech row while Iran tensions mount

Donald Trump abandoned the Iran nuclear deal as an act of ‘diplomatic vandalism’ to spite his predecessor Barack Obama, Britain’s Ambassador to Washington wrote in a bombshell memo to Downing Street.

Sir Kim Darroch’s claim – made after Boris Johnson made a doomed trip to the White House to change the President’s mind – is revealed in leaked cables and briefing notes which led to Sir Kim’s resignation last week.

The new revelation comes after an extraordinary row over the freedom of the press blew up this weekend, with Mr Johnson and leadership rival Jeremy Hunt leading the condemnation of Scotland Yard over its threats to prosecute this newspaper.

I want to say no shit sherlock on this one. What a shocker.... Trump puts world peace at stake because he knows Obama beats him hand down?!?! But it is good to know that this analysis has official backing.

He hasn't accomplished much, he has only attempted to destroy Obama's legacy. He is a petty, spiteful man who is steeped in ugliness.
