In yet another demonstration of TOM sticking to his word, he has now gotten into a verbal tussle with Iranian officials. (No more wars, remember?). “U.S. President Donald Trump and top Iranian officials exchanged dueling threats Friday as widening protests swept across parts of the Islamic Republic, further escalating tensions between the countries after America bombed Iranian nuclear sites in June. At least seven people have been killed so far in violence surrounding the demonstrations, which were sparked in part by the collapse of Iran’s rial currency but have increasingly seen crowds chanting anti-government slogans. Trump initially wrote on his Truth Social platform, warning Iran that if it “violently kills peaceful protesters,” the United States “will come to their rescue.” “Trump should know that intervention by the U.S. in the domestic problem corresponds to chaos in the entire region and the destruction of the U.S. interests,” Larijani wrote on X, which the Iranian government blocks. “The people of the U.S. should know that Trump began the adventurism. They should take care of their own soldiers.”
Well that doesn’t seem like things will go in a very good direction. TOM seems to have managed to get his aft little hands into nearly every hotbed in the world and yet turn around and punish every country with tariffs. America first, except when I want to be a big bully and start wars in other parts of the world.
With a relatively quiet couple of weeks around the holidays, I can only imagine the turmoil and grief that TOM is going to start off 2026 with on Monday 5th.
