Absolutely no chance Rudy doesn’t have mutually assured destruction level dirt on Trump. If he didn’t the wheels on the bus would have gone round and round ages ago. He abandoned his mentor on his death bed… something is keeping him and Rudy attached.
Just by way of nitpicking, the language is Farsi.

Just as an uber-nitpick Farsi is the name of Persian in Persian. Claiming the language is not Persian is like saying I do not speak German, because well actually the name of the language is Deutsch.

Well ACTUALLY, counter-nitpick, this is not really true. Written Persian differs from spoken (colloquial) Farsi in important ways - for example, verbs are abbreviated and conjugated differently, you can put sentences in different orders, and so on. Written Farsi is mutually intelligible with other Persian languages such as Dari, that is, speakers of each language can read Persian written by the other, but have more difficulty understanding the spoken language (though they can communicate enough to get by if needed).
As a result, it’s more usual to call the written language “Persian”. Calling it “Farsi” is privileging Iranians over other readers of the same written language.
Edit, just to cite this, from the Wiki article on Iranian Persian:
There are phonological, lexical, and morphological differences between Afghan Persian [aka Dari] and Iranian Persian. There are no significant differences in the written forms, other than regional idiomatic phrases.

Trump can’t write in English. I can only imagine the dumb stuff he says in Persian.
I hope whomever wrote it just decided to tell Iran that trump is a horrible mush brain etc etc
Hey I know some cusses in Farsi but I can’t write them.
I know how to say “the surf is good” in Farsi. And I did go surfing with a Persian person.

So presumably there will now be a relentless demand for Trump to show proof of receipt of this £1bn windfall from the Saudis and outline how it will be spent…
Ha. “DO NOT KILL YOUR PROTESTERS”. Taking them out on stretchers though? Nothing wrong with that. That I can tell you.

The USA has got to be careful to not get cross-eyed watching the protests in Hong Kong and Iran at the same time.

I wonder if he realizes how much damage to the protests his support of them will do. Actually I don’t wonder, he’s a raging narcissist who thinks people like him. He’d better stick to FL when he leaves the WH… and even then it’s going to need to be a highly controlled environment.
