Iran president: Trump a 'merchant' who doesn't understand international relations

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani ripped into President Trump on Wednesday following his recent comments on the nuclear deal, saying Trump is a businessman who has no experience with politics or international affairs.

"They say that with the certain leader of a European country we want to make a decision about a seven-sided agreement," Rouhani said in an address on state television, according to Reuters. "For what? With what right?"

He went on to change his focus to Trump and his previous experience in real estate.

"You don't have any background in politics. You don't have any background in law. You don't have any background on international treaties," he said, according to the news agency. "How can a tradesman, a merchant, a building constructor, a tower constructor make judgments about international affairs.

Thing of it is Trump was a pretty shitty businessman

1. Rouhani is being too generous

From what I've read, Trump hasn't even been "a building constructor, a tower constructor" for many years.

2. And is not willing to learn either

Not having the experience is one thing, but not willing to do anything to counteract that ignorance is another.

3. Can we add the merchant of doom to the list - eom

4. He's been in parliament since the 80s . Scholar , lawyer , cleric and diplomat

Hassan Rouhani even knows more about the religious book Trump is always thumping so adding all his qualities I think he can trash talk trump

5. Try con artist, grifter.

8. And every problem is a Mark

In the 'target' or 'sucker' sense

6. Rouhani is 100% correct

The question is, why doesn't our domestic media know that the treaty with Iran isn't just some routine business deal that Lord Littlehands has gotten dissatisfied with? This is an international treaty signed and ratified by seven different sovereign nations. Trump doesn't get to say unilaterally it's got to be renegotiated.

Our media folks know this (or should know it). But none of them seem interested in providing this information when they report on Trump's latest twitter tantrum.
