Yes, that was an incredibly foolish and dishonest action by Trump.
Biden had every opportunity to reverse it.
Not really, there is no basis to revive the JCPOA. Iran doesn't show any interest in holding up its part of the agreement, even if a president reentered the JCPOA. The problem is that the next president could just come along and pull another Trump. And the sanctions regime that brought Iran to the table in the first place was very difficult to forge, so that won't be duplicated ever again.
I don't disagree that Us political system being highly volatile makes it practically impossible for countries to make any long term agreements with US. The only rational thing to do is to deter the Us militarily.
Nobody has any reason to trust the United States no matter who is in charge, correct.
