(TNS) Nothing President Trump does will ever please or satisfy deranged Left-wing lunatics in the Democrat Party. Seriously, the man could cure all cancers tomorrow and they would complain that he didn’t do it soon enough because he’s a racist/bigot/misogynist.
So it doesn’t surprise us that Leftist Democrats are melting down over his decision to authorize the targeting of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force and chief mischief maker in the region.
But do you know who isn’t upset that this scumbag Iranian general is now worm food? Iraqis. And Iranians.
That’s because Soleimani was not a universally loved figure. He was brutal and relentless in carrying out the Ayatollah’s wishes. He’s responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans, Iraqis, Iranians, and Syrians.
Sec. Mike Pompeo compared his importance to that of ISIS leader Abu Baker al-Baghdadi, while others said he was even more important because he had greater reach and greater power.

So, while the American Left hates on our president, let this be fair warning to them that their guy, Soleimani, wasn’t universally loved, either.
IMPORTANT: For many Iranians Qassem Soleimani was a warmonger who caused massive casualties in Syria. He was no hero to average Iranians who chanted against the country’s support for Hezbollah and Hamas 1/

Unfortunately Western media misses the point by glorifying Soleimani— He was the common enemy for people in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Syria. His Involvement in crackdown against university students in late 1990s was another black mark against him. 2/

(Not all of us.)
Who is breathing a sigh of relief that Gen Soleimani is dead? Dissidents, feminists & secularists from Iran, Iraq, Syria & Lebanon.
He was a Shia Osama bin Laden with a national treasury & flag.
Who is crying foul? Obama alum Ben Rhodes, CodePink & Squad cocreator Cenk Uyger??♀️

As an Iranian with all my heart, I thank you Mr. President @realDonaldTrump for killing Qassem Suleimani.

He killed, danced on the blood and people mourned
He didn’t know that Earth spins until it became his turn.
Now he is in hell and people are dancing.
Worse than being killed is when the world is happy from your death.

Of course, Iran will continue to have regional ambitions, so whomever is appointed to replace Soleimani will likely be every bit as brutal, repressive, and despised.
For his sake, though, he’d better not be as arrogant and as stupid as his predecessor when it comes to dealing with President Trump.
