the article says "wipe out 93,000 people". there are over 93 MILLION people in iran

that's not even a rookie mistake, or even part time undergrad intern... that's the sort of thing you expect in high school writing

either way i stopped reading after that

I haven't read or listened to Trump's words in years. I just get the summary from articles. There's literally no value in listening to or reading the words of a decaying pedophile. Closest I've come are screenshots of his run-on sentence social media ramblings and I don't read those either. I just see the block of text and laugh and move on to the comments making fun of him.

Yes, but you have to remember that from a western media perspective, Iranian lives only count as 1/1000th of a real life, so 93 million Iranians only count as 93 thousand people.

Reminds me of that Tim & Eric bit, "the hundreds of stars in the universe.."
