Steve QuayleGUEST
Because remember, under Trump's first administration, Presidency, he killed Soleimani, the head of the Iranian intelligence.
Steve QuayleGUEST

Sebastian GorkaGUEST
And not just currently, those who were tied to the operation against Soleimani in the first administration, one of the most evil humans to ever walk the earth.
Sebastian GorkaGUEST
