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.

LOL! If they were to come face-to-face with us under this President, they would think that Satan Himself had decided to burn their souls while they were still in their bodies.
In the Iran-Iraq War Iran roped hundreds of children together and gave each of them a plastic key, telling them it was their key to heaven...then they sent them wave after wave into Iraqi lines.
