TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)Irans Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is completely baffled as to why he appears to be the only dictator whom Donald J. Trump does not like, the autocrat said on Monday.
Speaking to reporters in Tehran, the long-reigning tyrant expressed puzzlement and dismay that Trump had not given him the adulation that he has showered on seemingly every other totalitarian in the world.
Trump loves Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman, and hes even given Kim Jong Un a cute nickname, but, for some mysterious reason, I leave him cold, the visibly saddened Ayatollah said. I just dont get it.
Khamenei initially tried not to take Trumps distaste for him personally, he said, but when it became clear that he liked even second-tier strongmen like Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, of Turkey, and Rodrigo Duterte, of the Philippines, Id be lying if I said it didnt hurt.

(11,885 posts)They refuse to pay trump for policies like others have, or maybe they haven't gotten dirt on trump like others have, or maybe they haven't given trump a sweetheart real estate deal or bought arms and given huge sums to his campaign like others likely have. Maybe they need to uncover some of trump and his families crimes , and hold it over his head like putin is doing. Maybe they haven't murdered someone for him . I do suspect others have. Maybe if they helped him get elected like other have they would be best friends with this criminal.
