President Trump said on Thursday that he should have a say in choosing Iran's new leader, in the most explicit statement he has made yet about his vision of the U.S. role in creating a new government in Tehran.The NYT report references an Axios report which states
President Trump told Axios in an interview Thursday that he needs to be personally involved in selecting Iran's next leader — just as he was in Venezuela.It would be one thing to assert that the USofA, working/negotiating with Iran's appointing mullahs should have some input, given that we blew up Dear Leader, and apparently, the second and third tier Ayatollah 49% Don© choices. It's takes a boatload of chutzpah to demand his own self be the Decider.
And, by the bye, the two previous Supreme Leaders were chosen by a rotating council of 88. Kind of like our Electoral College. Ooops.
One might expect that Ayatollah 49% Don© will, eventually, come around to demanding that Shah, Jr. be the New Dictator. After all, Shah Sr. was such a good fit with the oil and gas oligarchy.
And, of course, if the mullahs demur, Ayatollah 49% Don© can just blow them up, too.
I don't know... what's the Islam for chutzpah?
