OPINION:
I laughed out loud when I read that Iran’s foreign minister dismissed President Trump’s olive branch for a peaceful resolution to the Iranian nuclear threat (“Iran will use ’whatever missiles it wants’ to stop U.S. aggression, foreign minister warns,” Web, June 2).
Talks with the United States are “not very likely because talking is the continuation of the process of pressure,” Mohammad Javad Zarif told ABC’s “This Week.” President Trump “is imposing pressure. This may work in a real estate market. It does not work in dealing with Iran.”
I get a kick out of tyrannical regimes that can only stay in power at the tip of a machine gun acting morally superior to a free-market capitalist who has had to legitimately fight and negotiate for every gain made.
As we’ve seen with Mexico and North Korea, President Trump is an expert when it comes to turning up the heat. And he learned it all from his experiences in the rough and tough New York real estate market.
I’ll put my money on Trump figuring out a creative way to bring these murderous jerks to their knees before they can enact their “death to America” plot.
