Iran and Donald Trump continue to spar (here).
On Tuesday — following both countries touting how they could destroy each other (here and here), the Middle Eastern nation’s president called our Commander-in-Chief “mentally retarded.”
Suddenly, this doesn’t sound super professional.
On the international playground, Kid Trump fired back with how strong he is — make a muscle.
And how rich:
Iran leadership doesn’t understand the words “nice” or “compassion,” they never have. Sadly, the thing they do understand is Strength and Power, and the USA is by far the most powerful Military Force in the world, with 1.5 Trillion Dollars invested over the last two years alone..

KT called Kid Iran a bully:
….The wonderful Iranian people are suffering, and for no reason at all. Their leadership spends all of its money on Terror, and little on anything else. The U.S. has not forgotten Iran’s use of IED’s & EFP’s (bombs), which killed 2000 Americans, and wounded many more…

And, said Trump, Iran best not be gettin’ him confused with any of the others they tried to push around before:
….Iran’s very ignorant and insulting statement, put out today, only shows that they do not understand reality. Any attack by Iran on anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force. In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration. No more John Kerry & Obama!

Although the President 86’d a strike that would’ve likely killed 150 in the aftermath of Iran’s destruction of a U.S. spy drone, Fox News has confirmed that the U.S. did launch a cyberattack last week:
“Fox News has confirmed that the U.S. military also carried out a cyberattack against Iran last Thursday even as the president nixed plans for airstrikes in response to the downing of an American drone. Sources said U.S. Cyber Command launched the cyberattack targeting the Iranian intelligence and radar installations used to down the U.S. Navy drone last week.”
And the battle — or, the argument in front of the monkey bars — rages on.
