MS NOW Panel Compares Iran’s ‘Deep Belief’ and Use of Human Shields Favorably to Trump
Mediaite ^ | Apr 10, 2026 | Isaac Schorr

Posted on 04/10/2026 2:34:00 PM PDT by Milagros

MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle and Richard Stengel compared the Iranian regime’s “deep belief” and even its use of human shields at power plants and other vulnerable targets favorably to President Donald Trump’s worldview on Wednesday evening.

Ruhle and Stengel’s comment came after The Financial Times’ Gillian Tett submitted that “President Trump comes from a background where he assumes that money can buy everything, and money drives everything, and he wants to cut a deal with everyone using money, and he assumes other people will basically fall in line on the back of that.”

“So the fact that the Iranian regime has a really strong conviction, which frankly at this point doesn’t have much to do with money, it’s to do survival and their vision of what the nation is-” added Tett as one of her fellow panelists chimed in, “and religion.”

“A religion, you know, and we might hate that, we might like it, whatever, but it’s a very different mentality that President Trump is the very worst person to try and empathize with and understand. And if you don’t empathize with your opponent and understand what’s driving them, it’s very hard to make a deal,” she concluded.

How do they figure that, I wonder.

Meanwhile, MSN loves this guy, yes?

“A religion, you know, and we might hate that, we might like it, whatever, but it’s a very different mentality that President Trump is the very worst person to try and empathize with and understand."

Maybe Trump should take a Christian approach, declare a Crusade, and really bring his faith to the forefront. Would that be noble? Would the media love that? Would we see a lot of empathy?

Trump understands the Mullahs perfectly well:

"If you think it’s OK for people that are sick of mind, that are tough, smart, and sick, really sick, you know, from a policy standpoint, from any which way you want to say—mentally—these are disturbed people. If you think I’m going to allow them to have a nuclear weapon, you can tell your friends at The New York Times, not gonna happen."

When it’s Christians who have a “deep belief”, they call it fanaticism and oppression.

“Trump comes from a background where he assumes that money can buy everything”

Meanwhile Iranian pirates demand exact tribute from a ship passing through the straight. Demanding payment in bitcoin no less. Oh yes, money means nothing to the mullahs.

Trump values leverage and money is one of many levers he uses including force.

Just when you think these vermin cant go any lower, they go there..so its OK for Iran to use CHILDREN as human shields, of course the left is fine with that, they are OK with aborting children to the moment of birth, even beyond that

Shall we talk about the “brave” Iranians forcing children into the mine fields ahead of their tanks during the Iran/q War?

Elitist Democrats have a thinly veiled hatred for America and a majority of its people. Its no surprise that they would side with a regime who’s ongoing motto and refrain is “Death to America”. BTW they are also deeply anti Semetic and that binds them to Iran as well.

From the Article: “And if you don’t empathize with your opponent and understand what’s driving them, it’s very hard to make a deal,” she concluded.”

So she wants to empathize with those seventh century bigots that throw gays off of roofs and treat women like cattle?

Good point (as edited). Obviously Trump understands that these radicals want to kill us with nukes and these liberals haven't a clue.
