Please tell this (The business of America is business) to the 7x24 folks around here who talk about Trump in the following manner:

“There’s a new sheriff in town. Mad Dog Mattis is going to confront the Regime. Trump is putting Sepah on notice. Crippling sanctions are coming. Trump will tear up the Nuclear Deal. Blah, blah, blah …”

“There’s a Trump sucker born every minute.”

Faramarz jaan,

After Trump announced his candidacy to run for president and I heard some of his ideas, I wrote something like this: Trump might be able to help more Americans find jobs, that's about it. 

Continuity is at the heart of US foreign policy. Trump is a businessman. And people who have done business the way Trump has tend to be objective.

Dear GR,

I have spent a few years of my life in the “Corporate World” and have ripped a few shirts there, so please take my word for it. The business man that you are talking about, and can create many jobs in the US is someone like Rex Tillerson who comes from a large company like Exxon, and given the right tax/monetary/etc. environment can move the economy forward and create jobs.

Donald Trump is a con man, more like a mob boss; with failed marriages, bankruptcies, shady casino and real estate deals, tax evasion, suspicious foreign deals, money laundering, and on, and on, and on.

Trust me, you don’t want to invest a Yen with this guy!

p.s. Trump took over an economy that was running at only 4.9% unemployment and a stock market index of close to 20,000. When Obama took over, the unemplyment was near 10% and the stock market at 8,000. We did not need Trump. We only needed 4 more years of Obama, or just the auto-pilot!

Faramarz jaan,

With all due respect, I don't think we want to go there. As for corruptions in the great and lawful land of opportunity, I can only say there must be something wrong with the law, if people can break it and get away with it. 

Now, let's hear it from Bernie Madoff  through Peter Schiff:

Only the rich and powerful can get away with breaking the law. There are many examples; can you say 2008 financial meltdown when no one, absolutely no one went to jail for it? Now, those who have gathered around Trump are working to dismantle the safeguards put in place to avoid another greed-fueled fuck up.

What an idiocracy!

Faramarz- the irony is that these people's desire for the U.S. to go in and get rid of the IR is part and parcel of the same problem that got IR into Iran in the first place, which the lazy Middle Eastern mentality. Take no responsibility for anything.

You know AO, at least when they want the US military to do the heavy lifting, have someone like Ahmad Chalabi ready to go in and occupy the palace. In Iran's case, there is no opposition leader to do that, unless we think that these clowns are the future leaders:

Hey GR,

Are you ok? Should I call 911 for you in Japan?

I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I'm not so sure about the delusional Trump bashers, though. 

BTW, they don't hava 911 in Japan
