15. I've never been a fan of that regime.

Between taking over the US embassy and holding dozens of Americans hostage, launching widespread persecutions of minority religions, and forcing women back into second class citizenship, I have been opposed to the Islamic Republic of Iran from the getgo. But boy howdy, did they ever get this right!

The Iranians aren't the only ones who havef igured out how to use Trump's mental illness to their advantage, though. I have no doubt that Netanyu got the US into this war by convincing the Orange One that attacking Iran would make him a big hero with the American people and around the world. It probably wasn't a hard job, considering Trump's towering narcissism, but I will grudgingly give Bibi some credit for figuring out to manipulate our demented president so successfully.

Trump's incomprtence and the urgent need to remove him from office have never been more glaringly apparent. If the Republicans in both houses of Congress weren't as corrupt and incompetent as he is, he would have been impeached, convicted, and removed from office a long time ago.
