When it comes to Iran, President Trump is not blustering loudly and carrying a twig. AdvertisementPresciently, President Trump has expanded our influence in the region; he respects and considers advice from the Gulf Cooperation Council and other regional powers, including Turkey and Pakistan. Thanks to President Trump’s “twig,” we control the skies over Iran. Irrespective of their passionately held differences, none would accuse President Trump of blustering loudly while carrying a twig. Once again, Trump is playing 3-D chess while the emotionally laden naysayers, perhaps overwrought by a legitimate sense of historical injustice, seem overzealous.
