So, remember that time the Resistance freaked out over that Trump tweet? No, not that time. Or that other time. We’re talking about the time Donald Trump sent that ALL-CAPS tweet to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani:
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 & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

Well, good news, Resistance! It looks like you may not have to worry about Trump’s tough-guy talk after all:

This kind of talk is troubling, to say the least. Whether it’s coming from Obama or Trump.
