Trump demands Iran return drone pilot unharmed


Tensions continued to flare this morning after Iran revealed that it had downed a US surveillance drone that was allegedly within Iranian airspace.

Acting president Donald Trump took to the nation’s twitter to decry the attack as “an total douche move.”
Trump continued to add that consequences would follow if Iran failed to return the drone pilot safely.

The liberal media was quick to pounce on the president’s misfortune, with MSNBC host Chris Hayes poignantly tweeting that “President 👏 Obama 👏 didn’t 👏 lose 👏 a 👏 drone 👏 pilot 👏 in 👏 eight 👏 years.”

but it misses the point, Trump is trying to shape world opinion against Iran, and he managed to do it without the loss of a service member, just the loss of a piece of equipment that probably costs as much as a golf trip to Mar-a-Lago.

Trump has shown the ability to drive his opponents crazy, he did it masterfully in his run to the GOP nomination, now he's trying it on Iran.
