        I always love it when we get tough in such a transparently non-tough way, You know, when you're trying to make a stunt in a movie appear seamless, you don't put a flashing red arrow next to the skydiver saying THIS IS A STUNTMAN

        Why are these 8 importers exempt from these sanctions? Could be because Trump does business with them and it will hurt his income 🤔?

        So basically.. Trump's wealthy friends and doners are spared from the effects, while the rest of us and the entire country if Iran will feel the pain. Got it.

        Oil is where Iran’s terrorism money comes from. Trump’s sanctions just hurt innocent people.

        The "but" in this tweet makes the initials part useless. In oger words, these sanctions are useless. Who imposes "waivered-sanctions"?
