If the country is doing well, there’s no national emergency. This kind of tweet will hopefully come back to bite him in the ass when his national emergency declaration is challenged in court, the way all the Muslim-ranting tweets did when he tried to claim his Muslim ban really wasn’t. And then maybe he’ll learn and stop tweeting asinine crap…HAHAHAHAHAH…just kidding. ---

So, Individual-1 has been spending his Executive Time learning Persian: > Apparently it’s celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Khomeni’s ascent to power in Iran. (If you recall, 7 months later Khomeni’s people took the American Embassy in Tehran hostage for over 440 days. To make my point clearer: Dotard is celebrating an event which led to the Iranian Hostage Crisis.) ---
