“Obama failed to support Irans freedom protesters two decades ago, but Trump just rectified that:” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that “Obama failed to support Iran’s freedom protesters two decades ago but Trump just rectified that” is only partially accurate.

“Tariffs are an overwhelming benefit to our Nation, as they have been incredible for our National Security and Prosperity (like nobody has ever seen before!). Losing our ability to Tariff other countries who treat us unfairly would be a terrible blow to the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J.
