Former President Barack Obama is sharing his thoughts on President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran, saying recently that he is skeptical that real progress will be made.

Obama spoke with “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts on Saturday, one day prior to Trump’s announcement that the United States and Iran had reached a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the U.S. naval blockade.

The exact points of the deal remain unclear. A senior administration official told reporters Friday that it would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lead to "the dismantling" of Iran's nuclear program and the U.S. getting Iran's highly enriched uranium. The expected deal comes eight years after Trump withdrew the U.S. from a previous nuclear agreement with Iran – led by the Obama administration in 2015 – that Trump described at the time of withdrawal as the “worst deal ever.”

In the interview Saturday, ahead of the new deal being announced, Obama told Roberts that he was “doubtful” any deal with Iran put forward by the Trump administration would be “significantly different” from the 2015 deal that his administration put in place.

1. Oh, it will be significantly different all right -- significantly more expensive, less secure, less effective.

2. Wrong! Trump will give substantially more money.

3. Other than Iran coming out ahead and we're paying more at the pump, it's the same deal

Way to go Mr. trump-- you broke something else that didn't need mending and made it that much worse for us all. But sure, fist pump and rah-rah the USA and pretend success/victory/agreement when nothing of the sort exists outside the minds of Statler and Waldorf, and scream "so unfair!" when the humiliation of reality doesn't run concourse with your weird jibber-jabber.
