Obama was more concerned with preserving the possibility of an eventual deal on Iran’s nuclear program than he was in removing the Iranian regime as a strategic threat or in standing up for human rights. Critics charge that Obama missed a golden opportunity.

President Trump has taken the opposite approach, vigorously supporting the protests and criticizing the regime:

Better yet, smother him in his sleep. The real reason they want him to keep it zipped is, he and they will hang for the Hezbollah drug trafficking ring. It isn't improbable that there were kickbacks. Thanks blam.

Does anyone else think that Valarie Jarrett living in the same house as the Obamas is creepy?

What's that all about?

Something weird going on there.

She's Barry's "handler", and apparently he can't even step outside without being coached on the day's issues. Yeah, it's creepy - and totally supports the "empty suit" impression that he gave from day one.

Trump has too much class and sense of decorum to reply to OMugabe, but I don't...

Hussein... Jarett, you can tell Trump anything you like, assuming he answered his phone. If he isn't listening it doesn't matter...

Omugabe... Jarrett... F/O!!
