The New York Times recently stumbled upon a little nugget of reality that warms the heart—well, at least cools off the ever-melting ice perceived between the U.S. and Iran. The leftist paragon of journalistic integrity has admitted that Iran is not too keen on Donald Trump making a return to the White House. This, of course, flies straight in the face of the left’s eight-year-long fairy tale that Trump and global despots were buddies, sharing cookies and tea in a geopolitical clubhouse.
For years, Democrats and their media acolytes painted a picture of Trump as the dark overlord, which, funny enough, was arguably a lot more fun when he wasn’t facing an invasion of Ukraine by a guy who didn’t need the extra motivation of a Trump presidency. Back then, Russia was comfortably sitting on its croissant while Europe wasn’t gearing up for World War III. Instead, the Democrats relentlessly pushed the “collusion” myth, implying Russia’s meddling was to install their favorite boogeyman—Trump—into power. Meanwhile, this same New York Times now hints that the real troublemaker is Iran, and they’ve flipped the pages to find that the Ayatollahs aren’t waving a Trump flag.
Hell Is Freezing: NY Times Admits That Iran Would Prefer That Trump Not Be POTUS Againhttps://t.co/s21kH3nil4

The Times has openly recognized that Iran has been mixing it up in the disinformation realm—specifically targeting Trump’s bid for re-election. Of course, they threw Biden and Harris into the mix, probably as a backhanded love tap to avoid a DNC witch hunt while still being forced to acknowledge that Iran wouldn’t shed a tear if Trump were kerplunked back into office. One wonders if there was a side-eye from an editor who knew the Democratic National Committee’s enforcers might soon be knocking at their door for telling a truth that doesn’t fit the narrative.
In the grand scheme of things, these words heartily suggest a simple truth: Iranian thugs would rather see a President Biden rather than a Trump 2.0 era. Recently, the mullahs have had a veritable buffet of power and support from the current administration as the U.S. posture wavers between supporting Israel and yawning over the situation in Gaza. Meanwhile, it’s always essential to remember that Hamas and Gaza are essentially a two-for-one deal.
Just imagine Iran’s delight if the Democrats remain in control—Biden’s cuddly overtures toward Hamas mean the mullahs can continue to fund terror with impunity, all the while hoping to expand their influence. They see Trump as a massive wall standing in front of their grand designs for the Middle East, likely dreaming of a Harris presidency where they can complete their chess game against Israel with a wink and a nod from the White House. It’s more than humorous to think that any Iranian operative is preoccupied with the prospects of Kamala Harris losing an election in November; they’d much rather see her as the next leader in America, softening the blow from any discourse about national security.
Amid all this diplomatic back-and-forth, one could argue that Trump should exploit this newfound acknowledgment from the Times in his campaign. If the Iranian regime is rallying against him, then it’s a solid campaign slogan: “Iran’s Ayatollahs prefer Kamala Harris!” After all, he has every right to remind swing-state voters that their next leader could likely be the one receiving a high-five from Tehran. As the stakes rise around the world, here’s hoping that Americans remember who the terrible trio really wants in office and that it’s far from the leader they can’t stop shivering about.
