Obama said nothing, did nothing.
He was more committed to diminishing American pre-eminence and the values of this country than assuring freedom and opportunity for all other nations.
How many of you remember this poignant portrait?
Today, we have real leadership in the White House, and a true commitment to the freedom and opportunity for all peoples around the world.
President Trump issued the following tweet following the latest peaceful protests from the Iranian people against the corrupt, repressive, Ayatollahs:
Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! #IranProtests— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2017
Press Secretary Sarah Sanders spoke out, too:
The State Department issued their support to the Iranian protesters, too:Reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with the regime’s corruption and its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad.
