Iran’s supreme leader ‘thanks’ Trump for revealing the ‘real face of the United States’
Washington Post ^ | 02/07/2017 | By Max Bearak

Posted on 02/08/2017 8:05:54 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

Iran's supreme leader was in a supremely sarcastic mood Tuesday as he gave a speech to a sea of military officials. His target: Trump's first foreign policy moves.

“We actually thank this new president! We thank him, because he made it easier for us to reveal the real face of the United States,” said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a transcript posted on his official website. “… Now, with everything he is doing — handcuffing a child as young as 5 at an airport — he is showing the reality of American human rights.”

While Khamenei's intended point about the ramifications of Trump's executive order on immigration was probably broader, his choice to highlight the alleged handcuffing of a 5-year-old Iranian boy at Washington Dulles International Airport imbued his speech with a tinge of fake-news fever. A viral photo of the boy with his arms locked together has been shown to be from an incident in Kentucky two years ago.

The Trump administration has taken a hard line against Iran. At Tuesday's White House press briefing, press secretary Sean Spicer said: "The ayatollah is going to realize there’s a new president in office. [Trump] will continue to take action as he sees fit. I think Iran is kidding itself if they don’t realize there’s a new president in town."

If only America was Christian and manly enough to oppose Islam in all things, because Islam (no matter what some Muslims may want) has been at war with everything else for a long time now.

The Iranians are watching our media too much.

The fact that a majority of Americans had no difficulty seeing the true face of Iran is a big reason Donald Trump is now President Trump. So look carefully, raghead.

Even though a 5 year old wasn’t hand cuffed at Dulles doesn’t make the charge any less serious. “Fake but accurate.”

True humanity? Like the “humanity” you show when hang people from cranes with regularity? Or how about the “humanity” you show Christians, Jews, or even Sunni’s in your islamic paradise? Or the dissidents who crowd your decrepit jails? You are the world’s laughingstock when it comes to human rights!

TRANSLATIONS: “We don’t have that wimp, Obama, to push around anymore, so let’s attack Trump.”

Dear “supreme” leader, Trump will not be sending you pallets of cash in the middle of the night, nor will he make, or honor, one-sided agreements allowing you build up nuclear weapons, intended for us on isreal, or the US.

So, run your pie hole all you want, Trump doesn’t intimidate easily.

"Now, with everything he is doing — handcuffing a child as young as 5 at an airport — he is showing the reality of American human rights.”

I wonder...when a co-religionist of his deflowers a girl as young as 5 in "marriage", does he condone handcuffs?

Why is the Washington Post actively engaged in hurting America?

Why not give more than one point of view?

How about they already hate us and want to kill us already and are likely planning to enter the US to kill us?

How about they’re making nuclear missiles to kill us and 0bama helped them?

The Mullahs are falling for the same thing the libtards are...that the media reflects Americans. It doesn’t.

Yep, you have seen the real face of the United States. Next, we’d like to introduce you to our boots, one of which we’re gonna put up your ass in the very near future.

Trump:
Open up US oil production, run gas down to $1/gallon
Let Israel/ middle east solve own problems

No doubt it would be the Iranian preference to behead the 5 year old, hopefully in front of his parents, or to throw him off a building.

I saw a video of four muslims slicing the head off a boy with a pocketknife yesterday.
I think it was because he was christian. That’s the true face of the religion of peace.

Obama sweeping the floor with his forehead to Wahhabis was the fake face of America

Trump is the true face as he now tries to protect Americans these savages, even as the Democrats, using their media and judicial arms, try to thwart him for tawdry political gain and leave us at risk.
