A very dangerous moment': Kerry schools Trump on dealing with Iran

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TovlRfM541U]

Former Secretary of State John Kerry talks with Jen Psaki about the mistakes Donald Trump is making in his approach to Iran, and the "massive credibility gap" the United States has to overcome if it wants to be taken seriously by Iran in future negotiations after the way Trump has conducted things so far.

John Kerry is a Navy veteran (served 1966–78), was awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star Medal with Valor, three Purple Hearts, and the Combat Action Ribbon.

Donald Trump falsified his medical records to dodge the draft.

John Kelly was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2024.

Donald Trump repeatedly cheats at golf and claims to be a champion golfer.

John Kelly testified in the Fulbright Hearings before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, where he described the United States government's policy in Vietnam as the cause of war crimes.

Donald Trump led an unsuccessful violent insurrection at our Capitol on January 6, 2021 attempting to violently overturn a free and fair election which he knew he had lost but he lied to his cult about the results. 140 brave Capitol Police were injured that day. Trump pardoned all of those insurrectionists as soon as he regained the Oval Office—many of them have gone on to commit other serious crimes.

As Secretary of State, John Kerry initiated the 2013–2014 Israeli–Palestinian peace talks and negotiated agreements restricting the nuclear program of Iran, including the 2013 Joint Plan of Action and the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. In 2015, Kerry signed the Paris Agreement on climate change on behalf of the United States. In January 2021, Kerry returned to government, serving as the U.S. special presidential envoy for climate under President Joe Biden. In March 2024, Kerry left this position to work on Biden's 2024 presidential campaign.

What has Trump done? “Renamed” the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Humped the US flag on nationwide television. Betrayed our allies. Called deceased veterans who died defending our country “losers” and “suckers” and besmirched the brave acts of John McCain. Oh, yeah, he pardoned a foreign drug lord and committed extrajudicial murder of scores of fishermen in the Caribbean & Pacific with his drunkard right hand worm Pete Hegseth…

I won’t detail the wounds Kerry received to earn his three Purple Hearts. But I will point out that Trump “accepted a Purple Heart” from a Wounded Veteran (and I thank that veteran for HIS service) for a legitimate reason—thereby cheapening the sacrifices and services of all THE REAL Purple Heart recipients. It was that Service Members to do with as he would—but it cheapened the Purple Heart for ALL THE REAL RECIPIENTS going back many decades. Can we all please agree that Trump’s lies, empty boasts, bigotry, hatred, and vile personality should never, EVER be allowed to denigrate the valor, bravery, and service of our HONORED VETS ?!?!
