In light of last week’s US bombing raid that killed a beloved Iranian general, it’s no surprise to see many in the Middle East chanting ‘Death To America.’ However, what some in Washington may not have expected is that the phrase is now being personally directed toward Donald Trump!
Current Events
Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently made it crystal clear that there would soon be retribution and revenge for the US assassination of Qasem Soleimani and that the terror would not be against the American people, but against Donald Trump and his comrades.
“As long as America continues its wickedness, the Iranian nation will not abandon ‘Death to America’,” Khamenei said last Friday during a ceremony marking the 40th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution.
.
“‘Death to America’ means death to Trump, (National Security Adviser) John Bolton, and (Secretary of State Mike) Pompeo,” he clarified. “It means death to American rulers.”
It didn’t take long for Khamenei to live up to his word.
Earlier this week, Khamenei announced an $80 million dollar bounty directly on Donald Trump’s head. Senior Iranian officials then tweeted that Trump’s beloved Mar-A-Lago Resort, famed Trump Tower in New York City, and other personally held properties (none of which are built/prepared for terrorist attacks) are now in the crosshairs and potential targets for attack. Then on Tuesday, Iran launched a dozen missiles against a US military base in Iraq.
If the message here was not already clear, let’s spell it out. Iran is not interested in fighting a traditional war on a battlefield. They have now made this thing personal and have set their sights on a single individual: Donald J. Trump.
The Ayatollah Khamenei’s latest ‘Death To America’ acts come after Trump’s abrupt exit from the Iran 2015 nuclear deal with world powers along with his re-imposed sanctions on Tehran, which dealt a major blow to the nation’s economy.

Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy mantra has proven to be more of a ‘Go It Alone’ mentality that has not been well received by longtime US allies and other foreign powers. Interestingly, not a single ally has offered a syllable of public praise for ‘The Donald’ and his decision to bomb Iran — particularly since he didn’t follow traditional protocol and alert them in advance of the raid, but only informed them (and the US Congress) of his actions hours after the bombing occurred.
Donald Trump drew first blood with his unprovoked military strike that was nothing more than a thinly-veiled attempt to redirect attention away from his impeachment woes and to boost his ego by stirring US patriotism and betting that Americans would rally behind him. Now, he awakens to ‘Death To America’ chants directed at him, an $80 million dollar bounty on his head, and a legitimate threat against Trump properties worldwide.
Was this bombing/impeachment trick really worth it for ‘The Donald’? Hmmm… we shall see!!

This right here….this sums it up perfectly.
Sadly, I believe that most Americans are too ignorant, and/or uninformed about how WE (America) are viewed by most of the World today. WE are seen as the bad guys. Trump has played right into the hands of Our enemies…solidifying that view in ways Our enemies could’ve only imagined, prior to him being elected.
