Trump declares he has all the time in the world concerning Iran!

Unlike the cozy relationship Hassan Rouhani had with Obama back in the day, President Trump has proven to be made of a of a whole different sort of intestinal metal. With tightening sanctions now beginning to tell on what could only be described as an economy in real trouble, President Rouhani doubled down on threats to 'increase uranium enrichment any amount he wants to'!

President Trump, meanwhile, seemed happy with giving Iran's leadership all the rope they wanted with which to ultimately hang themselves. And it wasn't helping that other nations were getting in line behind the US in support of a slow economic death.

For perspective, Iran had an estimated Gross Domestic Product (GDP) circa 2017 of about 450 billion, with a population of 80.6 million people. Iran's economy is characterized by the hydrocarbon sector, agriculture and services sectors, and a noticeable state presence in manufacturing and financial services. Contrast that to the US with a GDP of about 2 trillion supporting a population of 340 million.

The country's only real hope for this sponsor of terrorism was for Trump to be defeated by the Democrats in 2020. Should that happen, our newly elected socialist President would fall over his or her self to appease even demonic regimes such as this one.
