I'm not of the mind to give Trump credit for this. I have no doubt he made the situation worse by ripping up the JPCOA. Then just last week he was scolding Netanyahu, who I'm no fan of, for their attack on Iran. He only reversed course when he saw how well it was playing on Fox News, which is laughable process for a US president to be making foreign policy decisions. This says nothing about the way he announced the success of the mission on Saturday, seeming more interested in being a braggart than the seriousness of the moment, and the contrary info that has flowed from this administration, as JVL explained so well in his emergency Triad over the weekend. So while I agree with the action, Trump got there by tripping all over himself. Giving him credit would be like saying "hey it works!" one of the two times a broken clock is right per day.
