Donald Trump quite literally has 99 problems and they’re all happening simultaneously it can be hard to keep up. Today, the US president took to Twitter to condemn the execution of three people in Iran for merely participating in protests. His exact tweet was:

and just in case that didn’t get through to people, Trump tweeted the same thing in Arabic. Yup.

Now, I never thought i’d say this but this is one (well, two i guess) Donald Trump tweets that I actually agree with. The death sentence for merely protesting is overkill and it does indeed send a terrible signal to the world and yes, it should not be done. That being said though, all of this is a little rich coming from Trump.

The US president evidently draws the line at flat out killing protestors, but this is the same guy who ordered not just the firing tear gas canisters into a crowd of peaceful protestors, but also green lit the use of rubber bullets and flash bangs to disperse them.. and just so he could get to a photo op outside a church.

Trump’s relationship with protestors isn’t exactly the gold standard to look up to when it comes to how to handle peaceful protests and even until today, the president has not been able to get his country in order. Of course, him tweeting “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”, didn’t help things one bit and he’s struggle to put out protests nationwide has been well documented.

Trump’s next move, which is almost certain to draw the ire of protestors across the nation, is federal action against what he calls ‘liberal left-wing Democrats’ who have ‘lost control of cities’. While he didn’t offer any specifics on what kind of action will be taken, he did promise a very exciting news conference next week.

Some of the cities he name checked include Seattle, Minneapolis, Portland and Chicago. Can’t wait I guess.
