President Trump consoles the Iranian people, tells them he’s ‘inspired’ by their protest of Khameini

On Saturday, President Trump pledged the Iranian people his support amid riots in the streets due to their government killing 176 people by shooting a missile at a plane, which the government attempted to cover up. Later, the failed-state took credit for it.

President Trump consoled the Iranian people, writing on Twitter, “To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I’ve stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage.”

He later tweeted his greetings in Farsi, so the people of Iran could see what he was saying in their native language. 

Some protests included rebukes of murderous warlord General Qasam Soleimani, and some yelled, “Death to Khamenei,” the dictator of the country.

President Trump wrote shortly afterward, “The government of Iran must allow human rights groups to monitor and report facts from the ground on the ongoing protests by the Iranian people. There can not be another massacre of peaceful protesters, nor an internet shutdown. The world is watching.”
