True Leadership: Trump, Press Secretary, and State Department Stand with Iranian People

In 2009, the Obama Administration had a historic opportunity to demand true regime change in Iran. The Persian people throughout the country rose up to protest the corrupt Ahmadinejad regime, specifically the rampant voter fraud endemic to the country.

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

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders spoke out, too:

The State Department issued their support to the Iranian protesters, too:

We are following reports of multiple peaceful protests by Iranian citizens. The United States strongly condemns the arrest of peaceful protesters in #Iran. We urge all nations to publicly support the Iranian people. https://t.co/4spSF6IX1i #Iranprotests pic.twitter.com/jDbEDM0P8F

Heather Nauert, the State Department Spokeswoman, also released a tweet on behalf of the Iranian protesters:

U.S. strongly condemns arrest of peaceful protestors in #Iran, urges all nations to publicly support Iranian people. As @POTUS said, longest-suffering victims of Iran's leaders are Iran's own people. #Iranprotests pic.twitter.com/mUTObTeHft

Democratic Panic: More Reasons to Like Trump Budget

The Democrats are sending out their same ol, same ol' attacking President Donald Trump.

They are in complete alarm.

Afraid, worried, traumatized.

They should seek another safe space, perhaps in another country.

Why are they particularly fuming now?

The Trump budget has arrived.

And it has so much that conservatives have been demanding for years!

This is great  news!

It's time for us to stop paying for all of these non-essentials.

I am so glad that Trump is cutting the waste on climate change, too.

Why are we spending money on this nonsense?

I agree with cutting funding from NASA.

I am pleased to see Trump taking money away from the Department of STate, too.

Do these agencies really need so much money to begin with. Secretary of State Tillerson is already laying off, firing, and purging the State Department.

We are on a roll!

Now this is how you Drain the Swamp.

Oh and the Democrats hate it! GOOD!

This budget includes major cuts to foreign aid. Where was George W. Bush in all of this? Why didn't he take drastic steps to cut all the foreign funding?

Why was our government pouring so much of American tax dollars to help foregn countries? Our state and military departments spent more time and money protecting other borders rather than our own!

Such extravagance, such misplaced priorities were hurting Americans. All of that has to stop.

This is very much an "America First" budget.

I just hope that Congressional Republicans get their act together and pass a comprehensive repeal of Obamacare soon.
