Yes, but that is not going to happen.

Anyway, in this post he is ‘winding up the Iranians’ nothing more.

Just like when he argued with the Pope, he posted a picture of him as a ‘healer’,
he has a Monty Python esque sense of humour, he must get it from his mother.

We have another three years of this ‘humour’ to endure.

Although I doubt the Iranians are laughing much, no sense of humour these religious fanatics.
