Iran and the rest of the world have all the time they want. Whenever they want to watch us squirm it is as easy as a well placed rumor or piece of misinformation. I like to call it the I see a spider look.
It works like this - one morning a particular person at our daily meeting once again droned on and on. In boredom, my eyes followed a spider across the wall, unaware at that point of how terrifying spiders were to this person. After that sometimes my eyes would retrace that spider's route - the speaker would lose become distracted without so much as turning around to look. We would all go back to business as usual while somebody spent their day looking for spiders.
I think Trump looks for a lot of spiders.
