I haven’t heard anything about them in quite some time.

Oh for God’s sake. Obama gave them BILLIONS of dollars. And this stupid MSM is going to blame TRUMP for their screwed-up economy?

Only goes to show how DUMB the American electorate is.

The population of Iran is 81.5 million.

The population of Alabama is less than 5 million.

The GDP of Alabama is greater than Iran.

Says it all.

Another shithole country?
