LOL...that's funny as hell. The best part is not only that he's following the dollar the guy on his back is holding out for him but that he's struggling to do so because of the weight of the guy on his back.

The Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, including family members of government officials, while negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, a senior cleric and member of parliament has claimed.
Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, who is chairman of Iran’s parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee, made the allegations during an interview with the country’s Etemad newspaper, cited by the country’s Fars News agency.
He claimed it was done as a favor to senior Iranian officials linked to President Hassan Rouhani, and he alleged the move sparked a competition among Iranian officials over whose children would benefit from the scheme.
He claimed that the deal was made during negotiations for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was reached in July 2015. President Trump announced in May that the U.S. would withdraw from the agreement.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION ALLEGEDLY GAVE IRAN ACCESS TO US FINANCIAL SYSTEM
“When Obama, during the negotiations about the JCPOA, decided to do a favor to these men, he granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians and some officials started a competition over whose children could be part of these 2,500 Iranians,” he claimed.
“If today these Iranians get deported from America, it will become clear who is complicit and sells the national interest like he is selling candies to America.”
The conservative Zolnour, who is in Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s inner circle, added: “It should be stated exactly which children of which authorities live in the United States and have received citizenship or residency.”
SUPREME COURT TRUMP TRAVEL BAN DECISION IS AN IMPORTANT VICTORY FOR OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
He estimated that between 30 and 60 were studying in the U.S. while the rest of them were working in the country “against our national interests.”
Though Zolnour did not mention anyone by name during the interview, several children of current and former Iranian officials live in the United States, including Ali Fereydoun, whose father Hossein Fereydoun is the brother of and special aide to Rouhani; and Fatemeh Ardeshir Larijani, whose father Ali Larijani is speaker of parliament.
There is no suggestion either of these people received citizenship in the wake of the Iranian nuclear deal. It’s also unclear if Zolnour meant citizenship or a green card.
In 2015, 13,114 people born in Iran were issued green cards, while 13,298 were issued one in 2016, according to figures from the Department for Homeland Security. In 2015, 10,344 Iranians became naturalized, with a further 9,507 in 2016.

Asked about the cleric's claim, a State Department spokesperson said: “We’re not going to comment on every statement by an Iranian official.”
Fox News analyst and former Obama State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf was dubious of the Iranian official’s allegation. “This sounds like totally made up BS,” she said.
The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment. A representative for Obama Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson also could not be reached for comment.
The cleric's claim could, in the U.S., fuel Republican complaints about the concessions made by the Obama administration during that period -- including not just sanctions relief, but the $1.7 billion payment supposedly tied to a legal settlement that coincided with the 2016 release of American prisoners.

And in Iran, they could fuel resentment toward Tehran's elite.
“Many ordinary Iranians are surprised and feel betrayed that children of the regime officials live and work in the U.S.,” Saeed Ghasseminejad, a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington-based research institute, told Fox News. “The regime officials chant death to America but send their children to the U.S., away from the hell they have created in Iran over the past four decades.”
Report: Obama administration granted license for Iran. Iraq War veteran injured by an Iranian roadside bomb sounds off about the double standard.
Ghasseminejad said some Iranians have called for their deportation from America: “Iranians don't understand why the U.S. government allows the offspring of the regime officials to live in the U.S., while the U.S. has introduced a travel ban for ordinary Iranian citizens and many Americans are imprisoned in Iran. That is why many Iranians on social media have been urging the U.S. government to deport the children of the regime officials.”
Iran is one of seven countries included in Trump's travel ban, upheld last week by the Supreme Court.
The country has been beset by a series of economic protests in recent days as the country’s currency, the rial, crashes.
House Financial Services Committee member Rep. Barry Loudermilk weighs in on the report.
Since the U.S. withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal on May 8, the value of the rial has plunged to 90,000 against the dollar – double the government rate of 42,000 rials to the dollar.
The protests have hit Iranian commercial areas, including the historic Grand Bazaar in Tehran, the home of conservative merchants who backed the 1979 Islamic Revolution and overthrow of the Shah.
Rouhani has warned the country that it faces an “economic war” with the U.S., but analysts have warned that hard-liners are likely behind the protests seeking to challenge the more moderate president.
Rouhani is under pressure since the nuclear deal agreed with the Obama administration was torn up by Trump. As a result, international firms and oil companies have backed away from billion-dollar deals with the Islamic republic.

Umm, I believe I have already successfully taken one of his Iranian tweets to school......your are welcome.
Wouldn't say you took it to school , but you did make a valid point with it .
Actually you didnt. You posted a very eronious piece of information as if it played with present circumstances.
I posted factual information about Iranian immigration during a time period during the Iranian Revolution that was more volatile than it was during Obama's presidency..........
Right, soooooo you basically said that we pulled a bunch of our allied personnel and their families out of an Islamic fundamentalist led regime during a time when it was most needed. You brought nothing.
Funny.......so all those were "allied personnel and their families".........you are so out of touch. I'm beginning to think you are the fraud on here......
Honest question, how versed are you on the Iran stuff? I don’t mean you watched Argo, like the true geopolitical interactions with that country after the Shaw was overthrown. Why you and that other dummy try to argue with me about foreign affairs specifically with the Middle East I have no idea. You all end up looking ridiculous every time.
Argo was a decent movie.......[winking]......and I don't need to "brag" about my interactions, job status, relevance, etc. like some on here to get the worship of his peers........
What you perceive as bragging is called credibility and relevance coupled with confidence in the argument’s point bolstered by actual knowledge.
[thumbsup].........but perhaps you should assume others don't have a grasping of situations just because of what you perceive as "superior" credibility and relevance.
I’m not assuming anything. You and the rest of the fvckalong gang of idiots prove on a daily basis when it comes to foreign policy that you’re one step shy of being in a Jay Leno man on the street interview. You have strong opinions and you three are woefully ignorant.
There are topics where I’m way out of my depth and if you notice, you won’t see me chime in on them.
Ummmmm he’s had foreign dealings going back decades that involved foreign dignitaries and heads of state for his multinational business. By all means though discount that as it’s much more complicated to manage geopolitical issues. Im sure Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, Jim Mattis, are just a bunch of political rubes.
Make sure you apply the same level of scrutiny you are to him retroactively to Obama who I’m not sure had a passport prior to becoming President. Of course his entire 8 years reflected his amateur at best level of ability and you all sucked his hog like it was the fountain of youth.
Yeah, Trump has a lot of expertise in foreign policy. Just like him blasting American companies for moving jobs overseas (ex. Harley Davidson)......yet saying nothing about his own daughter's clothing enterprise........[winking]
Considering he’s made the claim that organic steel manufacturing is essential to national security, his whole campaign focusing on manufacturing, and his tariffs target the manufacturing industries in China and the EU it’s not like you need a Rosetta Stone to figure it out.
