Here’s a quick note with which to amuse you. And a reminder at the epic level or trolling of which the sitting president is capable. Iran tried unsuccessfully to launch a satellite. It is the third such failure this year, so your President took a moment to send his condolences.

The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One. pic.twitter.com/z0iDj2L0Y3

While it is not clear whether the explosion occurred during launch or fueling, the boom is a boom. And look, we’ve got pictures!
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded by noting satellite launch vehicles “incorporate technology that is virtually identical to that used in ballistic missiles” and strongly advised Iran to scrub the launches or risk defying U.N. Security Council resolutions.
Iran is not concerned. They are working diligently to resolve any issues and are moving forward with whatever it is they are doing.
No one expects less from the world’s leading sponsor of terror, but Trump’s trolling is epic.
