    Mohammad Reza Pahlavi - Wikipedia

    excerpt:

    "Change of Calendar

    In October 1971, Mohammad Reza celebrated the twenty-five-hundredth anniversary of the Iranian monarchy; The New York Times reported that $100 million was spent on the celebration.[323] Next to the ancient ruins of Persepolis, the Shah gave orders to build a tent city covering 160 acres (0.65 km2), studded with three huge royal tents and 59 lesser ones arranged in a star-shaped design. French chefs from Maxim's of Paris prepared breast of peacock for royalty and dignitaries from around the world, the buildings were decorated by Maison Jansen (the same firm that helped Jacqueline Kennedy redecorate the White House), the guests ate off Limoges porcelain and drank from Baccarat crystal glasses. This became a major scandal, as the contrast between the dazzling elegance of the celebration and the misery of the nearby villages was so dramatic that no one could ignore it."

    'King of Kings' would be appropriate for Trump's psyche. Trump doesn't seem to have noticed that name.

    excerpt:

    In 1967, he took the title Shahanshah (lit.'King of Kings')

    Iran operations 'ahead of schedule', says Trump as Tehran hits back across region

    excerpt:

    "There are, however, many unanswered questions.

    For one, Trump has now suggested - more than once - that he sees this as an opportunity for the Iranian people to "take back" the country.

    But he hasn't made clear who exactly he sees running the country if the Islamic Republic in its current form were to fall.

    Trump has previously questioned whether the exiled Crown Prince, Reza Pahlavi, has the support needed to govern."

    Trump can always say that his Pentagon people will be running Iran.

    After Trump abducted the leader of Venezuela in January, reporters asked him at the White House who will be running Venezuela. Trump said "these people", referring to people behind him like Hegseth.

    Trump says he "is entitled" to third presidential term

    excerpt:

    "Regarding the third term, Trump made a statement during a rambling speech at the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas. CNN noted that the US leader was wearing a baseball cap with the words "American Gulf" and walked onto stage to his signature campaign song: God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood."

    Trump will probably demand a Nobel Peace Prize for starting a regional war in the Mideast.

    Jack White Reacts to Trump's Iran Attack: 'Behold the Leader of the 'Board of Peace”
    By Daniel Kreps
    February 28, 2026

    Jack White on Trump's Iran Attack: 'Behold the Leader of the 'Board of Peace''

    excerpt:

    Soon after the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran, Jack White turned to social media to criticize Donald Trump’s war declaration and the president’s hypocritical stance on peace.

    “Don’t you love seeing him declare war on a country while wearing a trucker hat that says ‘USA’ on it?” White wrote Saturday on social media alongside an image from Trump’s video statement announcing the joint military campaign against Iran.

    “Behold the leader of the ‘Board of Peace,'” White added. “For the next war announcement donny, may I suggest having your feet up on the Resolute desk while eating a Big Mac in a velvet track suit?”

    White also pointed out that, despite Trump’s desperate attempts to procure a Nobel Peace Prize, the president often acts aggressively with other countries. “Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Cuba, what’s the difference right?” White wrote.

    During a speech in Corpus Christi last week, Trump boasted about the oil he stole from Venezuela while standing on a red carpet near an oil tanker he commandeered that he said contains Venezuelan oil.


    Trump sells US 'energy turnaround' in Texas ahead of March 3 primary election

    excerpt:

    “360,000 barrels of Venezuelan crude are right now sitting in the tanker on my left. It’s a nice one,” the president boasted of the ship — less than two months after ordering a military raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to face federal drug and weapons charges.

    Trump did his hand dance on a red carpet in Corpus Christi, Texas last week with the oil tanker with Venezuelan oil behind him.

    It became uglier this weekend with Trump bombing the presidential compound of Iran which killed the supreme leader and forty Iranian officials.

    Trump predicted repeatedly that Obama would attack Iran because he didn't know how to negotiate.

    Obama didn't attack Iran.

    Trump attacked Iran.


    Trump’s tweets saying Obama will start war with Iran to distract from domestic failures come back to haunt him
    Several members of Trump’s cabinet have previously spoken out against foreign interventions

    Trump’s tweets saying Obama will attack Iran to distract from his failures resurface

    excerpt:

    "On January 17, 2012, Trump wrote on social media that he believed Obama would "attack Iran in order to get re-elected."

    He repeated his prediction in August of that year, insisting that Obama would, "in some form" attack Iran before the election.

    He did it again on October 9, 2012.

    "Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate," Trump wrote.

    Later that same month, Trump warned the GOP not to "let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in oder too get elected--be careful Republicans!"

    On at least three other occasions, Trump predicted that Obama would attack Iran, claiming he would do so to "save face," or "because of his inability to negotiate properly" or to "show how tough he is."

    Now, eight months before what is predicted to be a brutal midterm election cycle for Republicans, Trump has launched a military strike on Iran with the purpose of driving regime change in the nation."

    The price of gold has risen again to near $5300 an ounce.

    The chaos Trump is sowing is a main reason. It was near $2800 when he started his second term.

    Trump once again danced to the song 'YMCA' by the Village People at his rally in Mount Pocono, PA in December 2025.

    DRM News stated: "In a powerful and crowd-energizing finale, U.S. President Donald Trump danced on stage to “YMCA” after delivering fiery remarks."

    The American populace reelected him.

    They can watch him do his celebratory hand dance on a red carpet after every country he commandeers.

    Trump’s Iran strike tests the Maga vow of ‘no more wars’

    excerpt:

    "Trump has pushed his isolationist message in the decade since, repeatedly assuring his “America first” base that there would be no repeat of the forever wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    But the president’s decision to strike Iran with massive force on Saturday – killing supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – quickly became an acid test for his core support, triggering criticism among some high-profile Maga movement figures.

    Among the early dissenters was Marjorie Taylor Greene, formerly one of Trump’s fiercest loyalists who broke with him last year and quit Congress over what she said was his lack of focus on domestic issues."
