Troller in Chief

At first I was like: Why is he even saying anything?
And then I was like: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Best president ever.

The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One. pic.twitter.com/z0iDj2L0Y3

If you click over to the Twitter thread -- but why would anyone sensible do that? -- you'll see a thousand liberal heads exploding all at once. Fantastic firework display. Suddenly concerned about state secrets. As you know, the photograph was already published widely. And you can do as well with Google Earth.
There is some seriously funny sh|t in Trump's twitter feed. His humor is dry as dust. That's what took me forever to get in Kissinger's memoirs. But once seen then it's seen nearly on every page. The books are extremely serious subjects lightened with splendid dry sardonic black-humor. Trump is similar if less academic.

As you well know, America suffered similar tragedies with its space program. Much worse, actually. So did the Russians. So have the Chinese.

Top ten space program disasters.

Wikipedia spaceflight related accidents.

But when something happens to the Irani space program, given safety #3 concern, given their obsession with the US and with Israel, and given our history of actually messing them up, everything must be due to the United States or to Israel. That conclusion comes first.  Because if an Irani stubs their toe it's because of America. And that makes it a lot harder for them to correct their real problems.
