On Iran:


Trump is being very "blustery" in his rhetoric aimed at Iran. News analysts say he's "boxing himself in", meaning he's not leaving much room for responses after that. It's not a bad point to make. Trump's just coming into the Presidency. Couldn't he be better served to warn Iran on a less ratcheted tone... and save the outright threats for when there's no other recourse? Also... isn't it true that Trump would totally benefit from the total support of European allies against Iran? Let's be real. Iran poses substantially more of a threat to Europe than it does the U.S. So having Trump "leapfrog" European countries and threatening Iran is a bit misplaced. Gather the support... and then club Iran over the head.
