Weapons in yemen. so people aren t very impressed with the saudi military machine. but at the same time, this could lead to more sanctions, especially if the united states and saudi continue to grow more closer to each other. and more sanctions will, of course, mean more economic problems for iran and more problems for iran s leaders. how does the iranian media in your conversations with iranians, how do they respond to donald trump? well, overall, many people view president trump as an instable person, someone who is out there to destabilize the united states. but also as someone who is potentially very dangerous. because he is very erratic. and that is another characteristic, the difference the current u.s. president from iran s leaders the way iranians view it. because for a long time, iran
On the receiving end of this hatred. which presumably has been out there in the past, but it just feels like trump has given a license for these people to come out of the woodwork and to express their views more openly in a way they did not do before. when you came here, you didn t speak english. do you have memories of at that very young age trying to assimilate what it felt like? i was somebody who was eager to assimilate i, you know, wanted to shed my foreign identity and become an american. and as a result of that, you know, for better for worse, i don t speak russian today. i don t have any real ties to russia. i mean, i feel very american. i feel this is the only country i ve ever known. and yet at the same time, i m just taken aback by understanding that there s 800,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers out there, and for them it s also the only country they have ever known. and it just you know, it s very chilling for me to try to put myself into their shoes and think about what would happen
