Donald Trump has finally met his match.
The Iranian Supreme Leader lies just as boldly, with just as much bombast, as the American Supreme Leader.
On Thursday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei put out a video hailing Iran’s victory over Israel and the United States.
Trump was shocked, shocked at this blatant lie.
“As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie,” the president marveled on Truth Social.
Then Trump went on to his usual authoritarian etiquette lesson, complaining that the proper response by Khamenei to getting hit with 14 30,000-pound bombs should have been: “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!”
Trump said that he deserved gratitude because he knew where the ayatollah was hiding and stopped Israeli and U.S. forces from killing him. He said that he made Israel recall a group of planes headed for Tehran that were, perhaps, looking for “the final knockout!”
“I wish the leadership of Iran would realize,” he tut-tutted, “that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!”
