Iranian official tells Trump not to 'dishonor' Persian language by tweeting in Farsi

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump posted tweets in support of protesters in Iran who took to the streets after the regime admitted it unintentionally shot down a civilian airliner last week, including two in Farsi, which prompted an Iranian official to accuse Trump of dishonoring the "Persian language."

Trump posted his first tweet in Farsi on Saturday, telling the "brave and suffering Iranian people" that his administration "will continue to stand with you," according to the Google translation of the tweet.

"We are following your protests closely. Your courage is inspiring," the tweet said.

"Hands and tongues smeared with threatening, sanctioning and terrorizing the #Iranian nation, are not entitled to dishonor the ancient #Persian_language," replied Abbas Mousavi, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry.

"By the way, are you actually 'standing by' millions of Iranians whose hero you just assassinated or 'standing against' them?!" he tweeted, referring to the U.S. drone strike that killed Gen. Qasem Soleimani, one of Iran's top military and political figures, this month in Baghdad.

1. He dishonors the English language every day.

The Iranians got only one tweet from him in their language. They're lucky.

2. That's a big request...

I mean, that's really a lot to ask from someone who not only is the King of Dishonor, but has no honor at all himself, just a will for power that won't quit. Nothing else has any meaning or value.

I would imagine that Trump couldn't even define honor if you asked him to. That's just another foreign word to him and all we see is the Shart of the Steal.
