Morning Joe reveals one word Trump is 'terrified' of that may be crippling the Iran deal

During a “Morning Joe” discussion on Donald Trump’s constantly evolving statements about bringing the Iran war to a close, MS NOW contributor Katty Kay suggested the president’s deep-seated obsession with former President Barack Obama could be the biggest roadblock.

Speaking with co-host Willie Geist, Kay humorously claimed the president lives in fear of the “O word.”

“The question is, are we any closer to getting some kind of a deal after all the fits and starts that we've had out of the White House?” she began. “It seems the two big issues that remain are whether the Iranians will have any kind of control of the Strait of Hormuz. And the even bigger issue is what's to be done about Iran's nuclear program.”

“I mean, Willie, it still looks like we're at the status quo ante where before the shooting started, on February 28th, Iran had a nuclear program, and it didn't control the Strait of Hormuz,” she pointed out before adding, “And I think at the moment, that's the best that the administration can hope for.”

“Donald Trump seems to be terrified of the ‘O word,’ the Obama word, anything being compared that he does to the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action], which may be why there's a holdup,” she stated. “It looks like they had got fairly close, but then he got spooked by being criticized for being weak and that this looked too much like the Iran deal [from the Obama administration.”
