Donald trump has responded to those comments made by ayatollah ali hominidae on twitter said the socalled Supreme Leader of iran has not been so supreme lately and some nasty things to say about the United States and europe their economy is crashing and their people are suffering it should be very careful with his words well Bill Schneider is from George Mason University he says trumps response is consistent with his policy towards iran. We are in a tit for tat situation with iran in the United States threatening each other but thats the way trump prefers to operate he believes that strength is the key threats are the way to communicate that strength and so far hes had some success in doing that he pulled out of the Nuclear Accord that accord appears to be breaking down which is exactly what he wants and hes threatening iran that if they resume their income their increased enrichment of uranium there could be serious serious consequences and hes backed up his threats when he killed the stage the attack on the iranian general showing that he was extraordinarily serious about these threats its got americans very worried about the possibility of a war with iran and one of the effects may be that its increasing support in the Democratic Party for one of the contenders Bernie Sanders who is an antiwar democrat democrats are very worried about war and as it happens trump believes the easiest democrat for him to defeat would be Bernie Sanders so it could be working in that respect as well but f.

U. S. President Donald Trumps defense team for his upcoming impeachment trial has been announced so lets take a closer look at 2 of the Major Players ken starr is a one time u. S. Circuit judge he led the last impeachment investigation into bill clinton and he was also a part of the legal team for convicted sex offender Geoffrey Epstein then theres Alan Dershowitz a former professor of law at Harvard Law School his previous clients include Jeffrey Epstein and o. J. Simpson was also a part of the defense team for disgraced media mogul weinstein. Well our correspondent Gable Elizondo is in washington he says isnt taking any chances with his legal team. Trump is taking this very very seriously i mean these 2 lawyers that he brought in to be part of this team are celebrity lawyers that are very very well known in washington and have a long history in this city and really in the nation 1st looking at Alan Dershowitz a long time a law professor at harvard hes considered one of the preeminent constitutional lawyers in the u. S. Dershowitz is actually a democrat and voted for Hillary Clinton however he has come out very strongly over the last 3 to 4 months or so before that saying that he believes that this impeachment trial is something that should not be pursued constitutionally and that there are no high crimes and socalled misdemeanors and so thats really caught trumps attention and i think thats probably why he brought dershowitz on his team also dershowitz his peers on television here in the United States as a legal analyst a lot so hes very adept with the media spotlight and i think thats something that trump probably appreciates also you have ken starr who was from the late ninetys where he well known in washington d. C. As you mentioned briefly he was the independent counsel that helped to prosecute or bring the trial impeachment trial against the then president bill clinton and so i think starr is very well known to and i think thats why he was probably brought on this team as well i think you can read into this that trump wants the absolute best people that he can get his hands on.
