Trump briefed that Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is probably gay — and president has priceless reaction

WASHINGTON — President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay — and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal.

Trump couldn’t contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.

Others in the room also found it “hilarious” and joined the president’s reaction, while one senior intelligence official “has not stopped laughing about it for days,” said one person familiar with the briefing.

The shocking claim was described to The Post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the White House.

All three sources say the implausible-sounding allegation is viewed as credible by US spy agencies, rather than false information intended to undermine Khamenei, 56, who was selected to replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8.

Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Mojtaba, who earned the nickname “the power behind the robes” while serving as his aging dad’s gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.

The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khamenei family.

Mojtaba, who is believed to have been wounded in the same Feb. 28 airstrike that killed his father and other members of his family, has made “aggressive” sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication, one of The Post’s sources said.

He’s married with 3 children. So at most he is “bi”!

Whether straight, “gay”, or “bi”, he is one of the bad guys!

Mojtaba Khamenei is an ex bachi boy who never graduated to the big time because he dug it. .

It does not matter that Iran’s new Islamist Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is gay. What matters is that he and his father are hypocrites who ordered the hanging of Iranian gays from cranes while Mojtaba never feared such a fate.

There is a widespread and long-lasting myth alleging that homosexuals were numerous and prominent as a group in the Nazi Party or the identification of Nazism with homosexuality more generally. It has been promoted by various individuals and groups from before World War II through the present, especially by left-wing Germans during the Nazi era and the Christian right in the United States more recently.Although some gay men joined the Nazi Party, there is no evidence that they were over represented. The Nazis harshly criticized homosexuality and severely persecuted gay men, going as far as murdering them en masse. Therefore, historians regard the myth as having no merit.

Substantially the same crowd that says the 2020 election was fair and Joe Biden is as sharp as a tack.

As Ernst Hanfstaengl said it, Not 10 percent of the top Nazis were sexually normal.

Sounds like you.

Ugh, but likely.

[NetAddicted]

Maybe he couldn’t find a wife, because they all knew he was homosexual.

So, Liz is a man.

Oh geez that is stupid even for you

[Albion Wilde]

that does not change the fact that the Nazis / Germans had anymore homosexuals in their armed forces that anyone else.

However, their armed forces were not the ones making the decisions. It is thought that among those making the decisions were a larger proportion of sexually divergent individuals.
