Did anyone else notice that Trump referred to the Iran deal as a "transaction" in his UN speech?

He really has no idea how any of this works.

Trump: Iran nuclear deal an ‘embarrassment’

BY MORGAN CHALFANT

President Trump called the Iranian nuclear deal negotiated under the Obama administration an “embarrassment” during his first-ever address to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday morning.

“We cannot let a murderous regime continue these destabilizing activities while building dangerous missiles, and we cannot abide by an agreement if it provides cover for the eventual construction of a nuclear program,” Trump said in his address before a global audience in New York.

"The Iran deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into,” Trump continued. “Frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the United States and I don’t think you have heard the last of it, believe me.”
