that's weird that's creepy that's dangerous that's psychotic and so you're getting even people who as i said were sympathetic to the idea of the united states coming in bringing regime change bringing democracy to iran even many of those people now are looking out their windows they're seeing their neighborhoods being decimated their neighborhoods being bombed by the united states and it's not exactly a way that they're going to say oh these people are here to protect me
And you can't look at any statement Donald Trump has made or any action that Donald Trump has taken and come to the conclusion that this is somebody who actually wants to see democracy in Iran or wants to see the people of Iran free and wants to see all of that.
Because just every single piece of evidence speaks to the contrary.
Let me make this comparison, and sorry to interrupt you, but you just sparked a thought in my head.
The same way that Donald Trump inherited his wealth from his daddy,
and then use that wealth to bully people, to get his way, to steamroll his way through business and screw over contractors, not pay anybody, and build his business empire off that.
The same way that Donald Trump inherited that, he inherited the power of the United States that was built up over hundreds of years of people building the system that we have today.
building the military that we have today, the alliances that we have today.
And just like he squandered his wealth, his daddy's wealth during his business career, he's now doing the same thing with the power he inherited through that history of the United States, just like he took his father's wealth and claimed it as he's a self-made man, that he's a self-made person, that he's this brilliant genius.
He takes credit for the United States' success.
He says this repeatedly, right?
As we come up to the birthday of the U.S., the 250, he says, oh, and it's all because of me that we're reaching 250.
It's all because of me that I rebuilt the military.
I did X, Y, Z. It ain't because of you.
You know what is because of you?
The fact that, I don't know, a quarter of the nation's debt, maybe more at this point, is because of you.
That's because of you.
The reason we're spending now โ
like trillions of dollars on the military the reason why the global economy is shut down yeah that's your legacy your legacy is more of you know a a a herbert hoover than somebody who's actually done anything to actually build this country up
I just want to say one of the things that really sickens me the most.
