Trump: "We are locked and loaded and

ready to go," indicating government intervention if peaceful protestors are killed. Too bad he is only interested in protecting Iranian protestors, not US protestors.

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran's authorities against killing peaceful protesters, saying Washington "will come to their rescue".

I think there is very little love for the US in Iran, even among those opposed to their oppressive theocratic government. If the protesters to appear to be aligned with Trump and the US, it might completely discredit their movement.

the crown prince of Iran, has been active and vocal about calling for a democratic Iran, calling for regime change. I hope he doesn't want to restore the dynasty. His father's dynasty was corrupt.

"Stolen" is key. America First was from the Isolationists (Charles LINDBERGH), MAGA was used by RAYGUN if not coined by him, on and on that I can't list off the top o'the head. Stealing from others, not original - taking what others created, earned from their own accomplishments and talent.

Notice how his name-calling of his targets are infantile, uninspired, *stupid* - Little Marco, Sleepy Joe, on and on.
