It said late last year. If Trump was an appeaser to little Kim this doesn’t bold well for that narrative.

Do not think that Trump did this for the Iranian people. He just loves flexing the military power of the US.

I like the him toppling the aytoollahs. They shot children in hospitals after the protests. They needed to be taken down
That doesn’t change the fact that your lot will support anything he says even if he says something difffeent five minutes later. Both statements will be taken as true. True believers are scary scary people

I do know that trump didn’t fly plane loads of cash to Iran, and that he warned them multiple times, while also offering negotiations in front of the World.
On your side, you have a decade long temper-tantrum from reactionary bed-wetters regarding all things trump.
I think he did this because the timing was right to take out the evil mindset that would use a nuclear weapon without hesitation. The benefit for the Iranian people is icing on the cake.
