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.

Why do Zionists favor Hillary? One keeps wondering until the madame puppet starts the third world war...
Dear Fred
I dont know of any iranian who'd compare Donald Trump with ahmadinezhad. Because all the Iranians I know are aware of the fact that there is not an iota of a difference between Ahmadinezhad the "funndementalist" and Hassan Rooh-ani, the "reformist". They are both terrorists, anti-american, anti Iranian and should never be trusted!
But I do know that there is a general atmosphere of fear amongst Islamic regime , reflected in the writing of it's cyber click whores, about the inevitable loss of Barak Hussein Obama next year!!!!
Not even close! Once agian a typical reaction from liberal idiots comparing apples and oranges.
Roya Kakian knows nothing!
This was like a Liberal-on-Hash kinda writing.
A very good and valid comparison. Khomeini didn't deceive Iranian people as much as they deceived themselves. Same thing is happening ins the US. As another example in addition to what she wrote, Khomeini wanted to export revolution to neighbouring countries, Trump wants to build a wall between US and Mexico. The uneducated public in their euphoria don't think about the practicalities of all those claims, just like Iran.
She swore allegiance to the flag of the United States only few years ago yet she finds it sufficient to judge millions of Americans born in America who support Trump, to call them -all of them- 'uneducated' as if you have to be democrat to be 'educated' or even American...what a pretentious little bastard!
Indeed Iran is cultivating pretentious little bastard in abundance!
Get educated a bit little lady.
I just wish there was a "Love button" I could press for benross' comment.

You don't necessarily need to be uneducated to support Trump. Just one of the following 2 would work:
- Redneck tendnecies (this covers a variety of ailments)
- Delusional Iranian - Just ask those who supported Dubya what he did for Iran duirng his 8 years as the Chimp in Chief!
I am a redneck camel jockey and I am proud of it! :-)
No, I believe you're just confused and belong to the delusional faction of the never-to-be-united diaspora of Eye-ranians!
Well, To be fair she is only expressing her own position on this, which is fine, But what she is totally leaving out is the frustration that is felt by the majority of Americans, educated or not. As we can see, Donald has been able to sway the blue-collar faction, the so-called rednecks, who regardless of their level of literacy, still are a part of this country like it or not.
Hey has anyone noticed how Sen. Cruz or Lying teddie calls Khamenei, Ayatollah "khameini" like a hybrid of Khomeini and Khamenei?:)) ha...ha... ha...?
And I just can not understand why my comment containing an expression of LOVE should invoke three hate filled red bilaakhs!!!
I guess the thought of having to chose between Hillari and Donald, the thought of not having an IRI style "Guardian Council" to select another IRI friendly US president regardless of the wishes of American people, is unbearably painful for some
:)))
To all the enemies of my great friend, Hamal! http://www.clker.com/cliparts/Q/v/8/G/l/F/thumb-up-hi.png Caveat: I meant it's Eye ranian meaning! :-)))))))
I think she has a point about uneducated people (which is different to iliterate or unqualified people) supporting Trump. Just listen to the language used by his supporters and make your own judgement.
