Another old tweet from Donald Trump has gone viral again, but for the wrong reasons.
As the president continued to ramp up his rhetoric against Iran, critics pointed to a November 2013 social media post where Trump accused then-President Barack Obama of planning to attack Iran.
Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 11, 2013“Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly—not skilled!” Trump wrote when he was still a reality TV personality.
The resurfaced tweet sparked comments about irony, given Trump’s recent saber-rattling against Tehran.
What is it you said again????

In Trumpworld, projection isn’t a defense mechanism—it’s a prophecy.
