Whenever President Trump does something loud and audacious – especially when it’s something the political class doesn’t like – it dominates the news cycle. Not only does the news media prefer flash to substance, they obviously are going to jump all over anything they think gives them the opportunity to portray the president in a negative light.
So of course, everyone heard about this:
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!
