TRUMP SAYS AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI IS DEAD

Trump was really stupid to do this because now he made the Ayatollah a Martyr which is a problem regarding the Intifada that will result. If you know anything about Muslim Culture Trump has likely created possibly a 100 years war by killing the :Ayatollah of Iran who is the head (sort of like the Pope Of  the Shia Muslim sect). So, imagine if Trump just assassinated the Pope because this is what just happened for about 300 million or more Shia Muslims. So, this is not a good thing long term and Trump will likely be long dead and Shia Terrorists will still be killing people in the Middle East and Europe and the U.S. as a direct result of Killing the Ayatollah. So, this was NOT well thought out at all long term.
