W

He believes what fake news tells him to.

Sedition by the fake news outlets by reporting injuries to embarrass Trump. KAG2020LandslideVictory Sedition FakeNewsMedia DemocratsTheEnemyWithin

Sure bub

Should have droned him

The US has taken out 3 of the worlds most notorious terrorists. Has anyone else? No! America is feared! As it should be and will be! The Ayatollah is deranged!🇺🇸

Do you ever look at someone who wears a towel wrapped around their head sporting a ZZ Top beard and ask WTF be going on in dat dudes head? The US has taken out 3 of the worlds most notorious terrorists. Has anyone else? No! No! America is feared! As it should be and will be!🇺🇸

You are the blow to America. That's why the educated don't watch your propaganda.

Not exactly the way to keep the peace!

Absolutely Iran is strong and we feel freindship on you..

This coming from a country that attacks commercial planes don’t know the difference between a Boeing jet and a fighter jet

Wrong! We knocked off your 3rd in command , you knocked over some of our stuff and some guys got a few scrapes. Keep believing that though

Haha. He'll be here all week folks.

So he's equating Iran with al qaeda?

Is he related to Donald Trump?

Do his people really believe this stuff?

Dont let our ego create war. Why we just have peace on earth and be happy

RIGHT...LMAO!!

it did nothing and no one was hurt. Most of the missiles where taken out by anti missiles

Propaganda! It’s an Iraqi base. All the same everyday, these leaders

Nooooooooooooo!

A blow, keep dreaming son of Satan.

Just goes to show how dumb that guy is.

This guy is great, I wonder if he actually believes it or feels that he just has to say it to “prove” his supremacy WishAmericaHadSupremeLeader

Trump has destroyed the image of America as a super power. We are no longer important to anyone in the world because trump has made us a laughingstock

Could have been worse just saying... to everyone talking shit on here

The shooting down of a civilian airliner with family members of the Iranian people was a blow to the Iranian people. Now the Iranian street says the ayatollah must go.

It was?

Hmmm, really?

Trumps image is bad enough

Is ABC a news outlet for this terrorist regime?

Ha ha ha in your dreams!!!

🤣🤣🤣

Let me get this straight, they blew down a Ukrainian plane they shot out Base and America doesn't really care much. Why did they attack them firstly? For some Reason this seems like a proxy, leaders using a world stage to Target people?

🤣🤣

KHAMENEI dear it's a BLOW to DONALD and not the USA !

When the devil speaks.

Slow day again ABC?

And his people are hungry and still living in caves 2020.

He might want sit this one out.

Big talk. I guess that's what you believe is necessary to stay in power. We took out one man and did not fire back at you because there was no need. But you know all too well how this could end. I pray it doesn't come to that. Stand down, open up and let's start talking.

No, he is wrong. Having Trump as the President is a blow to us being a superpower. One that I’m afraid we will never recover from.

coward trump !! heel spur !!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

He can sit down. Nothing he can say or do would damage the image of the U.S. as much as Trump and his band of thieves.

Good. Someone has to fight and resist the New Roman Empire which many say is America. Rome kept expanding its military power all around and brought people into its Empire. They eventually fell. We should stop expanding militarily or else we will fall too.

Lol. Nope.

Taking timeout from brutalizing and murdering his own people for a little TV time. His existence on earth is a blow to humanity.

Some of you people are SICK with your comments.

Khamenei is sweating b/c young Iranians have had enough.

No, It Wasnt savedyouaclick

No, that credit goes to Trump for destroying image of US declining superpower

No comment from him about killing 1500 protesters and shooting down a airliner? Weird...

You forgot to put the word 'laughable' in that headline.

Make sure you spread their propaganda for them

🤫😬🙂

Why do you advertise this? Does this type of stuff make you guys happy? This was not a blow, you wanna see a blow, we would blow them into space if we wanted too.

And the socialist democrat party agrees with you.

No not really

Keep beaking off

All he did was give 11 soldiers a concussion...

So 9/11 was friction ? Maybe he ended up like rocketman and shake hand with trump for photo op 🙈

Japan had the same attitude after Pearl Harbor and look how that turned out for them.

Stop stealing TheDemocrats talking points

You killed more people in a funeral stampede than in a coordinated missile strike. Goodnight.
