President Trump's tweet in Farsi expressing his support for Iranians protesting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has already earned over 200,000 likes, making it the "most liked Persian tweet" in the social media giant's history, according to a leading think tank adviser.
On Saturday, protesters in the country called upon Khamenei to step down after Iran admitted to shooting down a commercial airliner on which dozens of Iranian citizens were traveling. That evening, the president sent out a tweet in Farsi, saying that he stands with their efforts.
“To the brave and suffering Iranian people: I have stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my government will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely. Your courage is inspiring,” Trump wrote.
After just one hour, the tweet had received over 100,000 likes and has since more than doubled that number.
"This tweet by @realDonaldTrump with more than 100k likes is already the most liked Persian tweet in the history of Twitter," Saeed Ghasseminejad, senior adviser and financial economist at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, claimed. "A strong show of support by Iranians for Trump's Iran policy, something the MSM does not and will not report."

What a great President.
What a great way to start the day.
Covfeffe.
By his tweet he has succeeded in causing the already driven insane Left to ascend to yet another level of rage driven insanity.
Especially if you’re not being shot at by Iranian troops!
It doesn’t cheer me up because I know how many Iranian lives will be lost, ones that want freedom.
But of course I support them and want them to succeed.
I don’t think Iran’s leaders will cede until they are destroyed.
The Berlin Wall coming down without slaughter was a beautiful thing.
Making our Fake News outlets irrelevant, once again.
The Soviets are a lot less Evil than the Mullahs. Islam is as Islam does.
I pray for the Persians freedom. Freedom is bought most often by the blood of Patriots. It is given away freely by those who have never known oppression.
Generation after generation, same old story for all of mankinds history.
I get it.
I checked Fars News this morning and if your interested in studying how an oppressive theocracy lies to it’s people “martyrs of the revolution” and all that rot, that’s the place to go.
I pray for all Iranians who want the boot off their neck.
Saw the pictures of the woman on the ground the NAJA shot.
It’s going to get worse before it gets better, but the fact President Trump has gotten this untenable situation off top dead center is what has me encouraged.
Revolutions in that part of the world tend to be brutal, violent, and usually the former leaders get a true lesson in terror and brutality.
Not that I wouldn't mind seeing that happen to the mullahs.
After that, ALL the surrogate terrorist leaders better find a deep, deep hole to hide in, they're next on the hit parade. Whatever new government takes over in Iran will out them in a heartbeat, dry out the money, and leave them throwing rocks in the street and on the run from their own people.
The previous president could speak Farsi fluently.
Naja,
I remember that.
Odumbo did Nothing.
Odumbo threw them under the bus.
I have been saying for years that the US should be referring to the playbook we used for Poland, the first country behind the Iron Curtain to have its Communist regime fall.
And now PDJT is doing exactly that.
A city in Poland has a Ronald Reagan Square.
Perhaps in Tehran in the future there will be a Donald Trump Square.
“something the MSM does not and will not report.”
Because the enemedia is in the job of manufacturing the news, not reporting it.
back channel message—You shoot the protesters, you should expect a unwelcome partner in your bed, aka a cruise missile.

Nada. Neda Agha-Soltan.
Agreed
Neda!
Yup.
