To the brave and suffering Iranian people: I have stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my government will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely. Your courage is inspiring.

Just another example of why a president should not use an unsecured phone. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

Targeting not the government but bypassing it. Sort of "you, the people, I like and support as you seek to overthrow your rulers that I don't like."

The same kind of thing activists who are trying to tamp down animosity towards Iran do when they say, "You know, the American people like the American people, it's the American government they don't like."

If it was hacked, it wasn't a Republican Guard who did the hacking. Or probably a Russian. Perhaps one of the protestors, but I still give it a better than even chance it was Google translated or something translated for him given what he said he'd like to say. With the translator cleaning it up and making it human.

Now students are protesting, and it appears to be gaining steam. And there's a high likelihood more lives will be lost. All on DJT's head.

Long past due, dump the trump.

This is not the POTUS of our country.

I have the utmost respect for speakers of Farsi.

I have no respect for the orange crap-stain.
