As an Iranian who is against I.R, I must say what you alone did to the Mullahs & in the favor of people in 3 years, was more than all other presidents combined.
Thank you sir. Keep up the pressure on them and we will end them soon and end this 40y old nightmare.#WarCrimeInIran— آقای کارلین (@DearMrCarlin) January 11, 2020
