While it has become popular among some Iranians to compare Donald Trump to the ex-Islamist fascist “President” Ahmadinejad, one must leave it to the keen senses of Roya Hakakian to come up with the genuine comparison:

“For weeks, Donald Trump’s words “Win, win, win! We’re gonna win so much you’re gonna get bored with winning!” had been swirling in my head. They had become a rhetorical riddle my mind would not quit turning over until it had been solved. The eyes, stunned by what had all the trappings of a debut, proved easier to fool. But the ears knew an encore performance when they heard one.

Then a friend forwarded a clip of an archival link from February 1979. It was a short interview the late ABC News anchorman, Peter Jennings, had conducted with the leader of the Iranian revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini.

For the same reasons the Ayatollah openly detested the educated, Mr. Trump loves the uneducated.

A few years ago, I swore allegiance to the flag of the United States and promised to protect it against any threats. I see one now. Therefore, this column.”

It is a sad fact, all the vacillations and the appeasements of Obama have made it possible for a dangerous fascist demagogue to have a chance at becoming the next President.

 

 

Sanction works, U.S. Senate, get to it.
