Did anyone believe the narrative Trump the Great and Powerful was spinning last weekend, about wanting the Iraqi people to be free and have democracy?

Or did you think it was another whopper of a lie, like his caring about Iranian demonstrators?

Now, Lord Trump says the quiet part out loud.

Trump says he has ‘to be involved’ in picking next Iran leader and Khamenei’s son is ‘unacceptable’

...in an interview with Axios Thursday, Trump made clear that he will not accept a new leader in Iran who would carry out the late Ayatollah’s agenda.

Trump echoed the sentiment to Reuters Thursday. “We want to be involved in the process of choosing the person who is going to lead Iran into the future. We don’t have to go back every five years and do this again and again,” he also said.

There you have it. Another reliable lapdog. I'm sure corruption, repression, and brutality, will not matter. And, of course, the regime imposed on the people of Iran can only result in a building wave of resentment, that will result in another revolution.

Of course this doesn't matter to Trump. He LOVES authoritarians and longs to have that kind of power himself. MAGA world either wants this or just does not understand what is at stake on the homefront.
