NEW YORK: Republican presidential candidate Don­ald Trump again lashed out at President Barrack Obama over the Iran nuclear deal.

At a rally in Wisconsin, he said Obama was ‘like a baby’ because he criticised Iran for not following the spirit of the deal.

“Today, I hear Obama is very unhappy with Iran,” Trump said. “Because he feels that they haven’t lived up to the spirit of the agreement. What the hell did he think was going to happen? I hate seeing President Obama today saying that Iran has violated our agreement. I mean, what did he think? He’s now complaining about Iran violating the agreement. What the hell did he think? He’s like a baby. He’s like a baby.”

Trump who has come under heavy criticism by his own party, the Republicans, as well as Democrats on his remarks over punishment for women having abortion, is finding it difficult to walk back that statement.

He has revised his position five times so far. Yet he is leading the primary in New York, the most liberal state.
