The name, "Epic Fury" isn't just juvenile [View all]

...it's revealing.

What is the "fury" about? What has Iran done to us lately, other than bend over backwards to respond to our & Israel's illegal provocations and demands as minimally as possible without losing all self-respect?

Trump's fury is not about Iran being evil; it's about his embarrassment that after having trashed the deal that Obama negotiated with Iran and boasting that he could do better, Trump failed to reach any deal at all. Iran is "evil" because it refused to compately eviscerate itself for him, and that made him look foolish.

I suspect it's also about his secret fury that he's never been truly accepted in certain social echelons.
