Trump has managed to bring the Iranian people together in support of their leadership like hasn't been seen in many years. The Supreme Leader really should send Trump a check.

@lauren He did the same in Canada, and prevented a Trump-lite politician from becoming Prime Minister... I guess that was just for practice?

@PeterLudemann @lauren In fairness the Iranians have been hating the American government a lot longer than their own theocratic government.

@klausfiend @lauren Since at least 1953 and probably going back to 1901 (the UK).

And probably still annoyed at Canada for what they did in 1980 (unless they believe the version of the story in the movie "Argo").

@PeterLudemann @lauren I'm currently in Toronto and have a handful of Persian friends here who mostly like Canada. Seeing a bunch of Iranian flags on cars, though, it seems like we're at least not on the side of the US in this one.
