This from our old friend Daren Jonescu:

Trump Finally Gets One Right in that Trumpy Way

From the essay:

Donald Trump tweeted out the following message to the Iranian people protesting (yet again) against their murderous Islamic regime:

To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I’ve stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2020

This message, which was also tweeted in Farsi, strikes a very suitable tone. America’s position, in this and analogous cases around the world, need not have any suggestion of military intervention or nation-building. All that is needed — desperatelyneeded by those risking everything for their freedom in the face of tyrannical governments — is the confidence of having the moral support of the nation that, to all oppressed people on the planet in this age, represents the idea of liberty.
