Donald Trump says 'Iran is playing with fire' after ballistic missile test'Iran unmoved by threats as we derive security from our people,' Iran's foreign minister says
Chris Stevenson
President Donald Trump has accused Iran of "playing with fire" as part of a diplomatic spat over Iran's latest ballistic missile test.
Referring to the previous administration of Barack Obama, Mr Trump added that the Iranian government didn't appreciate how "kind" that the US had been to them - a potential reference to the nuclear deal struck with the US and other world powers in 2015 where Iran's nuclear capability was reduced in return for a loosening of sanctions. Mr Trump said that he would not follow a similar path.

You can live it up and die in bed
Unfortunately, fire does seem to be a theme:

The US military.
He already got a seal killed and a bunch of civilians due to piss poor planning.
Just wait till we invade Iran! Wee.....thousands of boxes coming home with dead Americans inside.
It will make PEEOTUS feel tough though!

War with Iran would be sheer madness. Arrest Trump, Pence, Bannon, and Flynn!
