On the campaign trail, Donald Trump has criticized President Obama’s deal with Iran, saying “Obama negotiated this horrible deal with Iran. It’s a bad deal, and when I get to Washington, there won’t be bad deals anymore. I’m a great deal-maker.”

It’s true that the Iran deal is a bad deal for the United States. What’s not true is that Donald Trump is a great deal-maker.

Timothy O’Brien points out that “the reality, the objective reality, is that he’s been a horrible deal-maker. His career is littered with bad deals. . . . He’s not someone who’s a particularly adept deal-maker, if you look at his whole career.”

In fact, during the early 1990’s Donald Trump was a business failure, and almost had to declare personal bankruptcy.
