I've noticed he and all the Dims are silent on the protests, Hell, so is the LSM for that matter.

I feel sorry for Hussein.  He worked so hard to get them nukes.

Kinda makes a difference doesn't it? Trump has no concept of leading from behind.

That's what assholes do, lead with their behinds.   He wasn't bowing as he was bending over, just getting into his leadership position.

That was kind of the point. Their response is to do nothing, pretend it isn't happening. Telling Trump: "Keep quiet and do nothing." says it all.

Police join with protestors, and they start chanting "He's with us!"...

No, it was the military.

#IranProtests: Remarkable moment as regime officer tells protesters he didn't join the military to fight against his own people, prompting cheers 'He's with us!'

Bush Regime Heads Are Exploding.

The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!

Hussein's are all over right now telling Trump he needs to be quiet.  It is hilarious...

Link to it - and it's several members of the Obama administration telling Trump to shut up.
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/01/former-obama-advisers-tell-trump-quiet-iran-protests/

QuoteSeveral key advisers to former President Barack Obama have poured scorn on President Donald Trump's support for the protests sweeping Iran in recent days.

It's a quick read, lots of twitter screen shots from our favorites: 
Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Ben Rhodes, Samatha Powers

Offering "advice" - and really nothing noteworthy.   When they could have done something, they did nothing. 
Now that they can't do anything, they're just quick to just criticize President Trump.

Proof Trump is doing the RIGHT thing.

Nikki Haley is calling for an emergency Security Council meeting to address the Iran protest situation.

No change from Obama, sending his former administrators out to "Shush Trump"...   how pathetic.
The guy cares more about his failed legacy than the freedom of an oppressed people.

I don't know if they've reached the tipping point yet, hope it doesn't get worse, but... it that's what it takes to EARN your freedom, I guess you're less likely to allow it to be taken away, without a fight.

From what I've gleaned from reports, the Republican Guard has given up on the rest of the country and focusing on solely defending Tehran.
This would only mean they are trying to keep some semblance of order within the govt and protect the buildings for a future administration, but it also signals that the leadership did escape early on and no one but the IRGC is in charge, and more than likely will help move the process along in forming a new govt.

This is all my speculation, but I think it seems pretty reasonable from the reports I've been reading.
We may know as early as tomorrow as to whether the people won or not.

One other point I just came across.

Wow.

Of course we all know who will get the credit for this if it happens.

Yeah, they'll claim they kept quiet.
