US President Donald Trump said Sunday that he does not care if Iran agrees to negotiate with the United States.

Trump - Don’t put beans in your ears.

Iran - Oh Yeah, Just watch us.

We spend trillions on defense. The upshot of that is that everyone else should be scared of US. I am not saying that we should lord over other countries. I am saying that no country should shit on us without repercussions.

But he is a diplomat. Just a tough one. He reminds me of the little Irish Catholic priest we had as a teacher. Disrupt the class and expect a heavy duty yard stick whopping your fingers or head.

Interesting that in addition to “no nuclear weapons”, he added “don’t kill your protestors.”

Trump’s got leverage. A lot of soldiers died to give America leverage over its enemies. I’m glad when it’s not wasted.
