A stellar day, really, for the Trump White House.
President Trump was asked by Gabby Morrongiello of the Washington Examiner how he plans to respond to Iranian President Rouhani, who said earlier today that any nation that threatens Iran will “regret” it.
Trump responded on Air Force One Friday evening on the way to Mar-a-Lago with a threat according to a pool report sent to PoliticusUSA, “He better be careful.”

“Some inexperienced figures in the region and America are threatening Iran,” Reuters reported the Iranian President saying earlier. “They should know the language of threats has never worked with Iran. We are not seeking tension but we are united before bullying and any threat.”
Naturally Trump responded to this with more threatening language, because when it comes to nuclear war, it’s all about who can be the biggest thug in Trump world.
The man who carelessly left a classified bag out on his desk with the key in it as non-cleared people traipsed through his office has just threatened the Iranian President.
We are so close to Making America Great Again, no?
Oh, and the man giving Trump all of his national security advice was busted for working behind then President Obama’s back with Moscow to possibly undermine American sanctions against Russia. You know, Moscow, who influenced our election in Trump’s favor.
So sure, all is well here. Nothing to see. Trump mad at Iranian President.
