Granted, there are points I do not unterstand in the Iran deal. Also, I might misinterpret your "I hope his first step is ripping up the Iran deal."
Perhaps a few lines of
- what bothers you most with the current Iran deal
- which way to invalidate / force renegociation / harder controls you envision?
- what "better deal" you expect Trump to come up with?

Some of the signs of a bad deal for me were:
- almost immediate 2sided difference after US went public with their take as a summary - explained to myself as a way to curb "hard-liners" in each back yard, NOT as a sign of missed "meeting of minds"
- release of frozen assets nearly up front - I'd probably stretched it over a period of years of good behaviour. - explained to myself as a way to keep the US side from tearing up the deal because the sugar is already in Iran
- formalizing a safe zone (1 year to atom bomb) which is hard to verify and quite close - explained to myself as the lesser of 2 evils if you view ISIS across Iranian border.

If you think that was a bad deal, many of the EU treaties are much worse: no exit clauses, aimed at indefinite time spans, less or no snap back provisions, even if they may somewhat illusionary...

As the "bad deal" already had consequences, what better situation to aim for ?
"Pacta sunt servanda" should not be tossed aside just because a new CEO or POTUS is at the helm.
That covers looking for loopholes to break on a technicality in my book as well - trust to honour a contract is more important.
