Former Obama advisers tell Trump how to handle Iran protests

Some key advisers to former "Lead from Behind" President Obama have attacked President Trump for supporting the Iran protests taking place for the past week. 

Valerie Jarrett, who left her heart in Tehran, Iran, was mute on the subject. That may be due to perverted allegiances to the Islamic Republic of Iran and her fear of being uncovered.

In 2009, the "Green Revolution" threatened Iran's theocratic regime, and Obama along with his administration lead from behind by not leading and not supporting the protesters. In effect, the Obama "behinders" supported the regime by not taking a stance. In fact, Obama said "we respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the issue inside of Iran."

So of course, Obama's pussyfooting allowed the regime to consolidate power and put the revolution down. This was done selfishly, for Obama's crappy nuclear deal, which he believed was more important than the human rights of Iranian citizens. 

Proof that Obama is an immoral, self-serving megalomaniac.

President Trump is openly and vigorously supporting the protests and is 'attack-tweeting' against the regime:

Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime's corruption & its squandering of the nation's wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people's rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching! #IranProtests

The entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change, and, other than the vast military power of the United States, that Iran's people are what their leaders fear the most...pic.twitter.com/W8rKN9B6RT

Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever, and the day will come when the Iranian people will face a choice. The world is watching! pic.twitter.com/kvv1uAqcZg

Big protests in Iran. The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. The USA is watching very closely for human rights violations!

Iran, the Number One State of Sponsored Terror with numerous violations of Human Rights occurring on an hourly basis, has now closed down the Internet so that peaceful demonstrators cannot communicate. Not good!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 31, 2017

Iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the Obama Administration. The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 1, 2018

But some of Obama's people reject Trump's thinking and evidently think the former failed president's approach was better. And they're correct--if you're will to pray toward Mecca or die.

Former National Security Advisor Susan "It-Was-A-Video" Rice tweeted a New York Times op-ed by former Obama aide Philip Gordon, "How Can Trump Help Iran's Protesters? Be Quiet." 

Gordon contended that supporting the protesters and taking steps to end the Iran nuclear deal will delegitimize Iran's internal opponents.

How Can Trump Help Iran’s Protesters? Be Quiet. https://t.co/w0MNlWMkxG"— Susan Rice (@AmbassadorRice) December 31, 2017

John "Hair-plugs" Kerry had to pontificate his two cents tweeting:

With humility about how little we know about what’s happening inside Iran, this much is clear: it’s an Iranian moment and not anyone else’s. But the rights of people to protest peacefully and voice their aspirations are universal and governments everywhere should respect that.— John Kerry (@JohnKerry) December 31, 2017 

Ben Rhodes the former Deputy National Security Advisor who majored in English in college and an aspiring novelist, had nothing new to add in attacking President Trump. He criticized Americans who think the U.S. should encourage the protests:

The Iranian people are rightfully demanding dignity, less corruption, more opportunity, and greater control over their lives. In looking at US twitter, it seems lost on too many that this is about what Iranians want for Iran, and not about us.

Tommy "Dude" Vietor, a former cool guy spokesboy for the National Security Council went to his default mode of sarcasm:

Trump loves protestors as long as they’re not American.— Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) December 31, 2017

Former UN Ambassador and closet Communist Samantha Power, criticized Trump's immigration policy in this clever tweet:

We stand with the Iranian people so much that we won't let them come here. https://t.co/fzbv8idiiJ

But not every Obama minion was on board with the anti-Trump sentiment. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates admitted, in his 2014 book "Duty:  Memoirs of a Secretary at War," that while he had to be persuaded that "too powerful an American voice on behalf of the protesters might provide ammunition for the regime," he later rejected his words and said, "In retrospect, I think we could and should have done more, at least rhetorically." (328)

Maybe it's Obama's turn, along with his former administration, to just shut up.
