Kimmel: People Are Asking Why Trump’s Threatening Rouhani When He Let Putin Run His Fingers Through His Hair

‘It’s interesting that Trump would react so strongly to typical Iranian rhetoric’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
KIMMEL: "The president was up past his bedtime last night, lashing out after the president of Iran said America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace and war with Iran is the mother of all wars. And to that trump responded with the mother of all caps. He wrote, “To Iranian president Rouhani. Never, ever threaten the united States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before. We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence and death. Be cautious.” I guess that’s his idea of Sunday fun day. But it’s interesting that Trump would react so strongly to typical Iranian rhetoric. These people have the words 'Death to America' on their license plate frames. This is not an unusual circumstance. This is their thing. So people are wondering why the president would threaten them with nuclear war when he let Vladimir Putin practically run his fingers through his hair."
