Here's What Iranians Were Chanting During Khamenei Funeral Procession

If the procession chant was "Death to Trump," that is not a surprise so much as a reminder that Trump keeps treating foreign policy like a bluffing contest and then acting shocked when people respond like it. None of this makes Iran look restrained or reasonable, but it also does not magically make Trump's dealmaking look smart. When you hand a regime leverage and then posture about strength, you should expect propaganda like this to come right back at you.

You sign a deal handing them $300 billion and they're still out there chanting death to us, which tells you exactly what that agreement was ever worth.

Trump gave them $300 billion and they still won't say nice things about him, which honestly tracks because even the people he pays domestically don't say nice things about him either.

Townhall running "Iranians chant bad things" as a headline while somehow not mentioning the $300 billion we just handed the regime is a masterclass in selective outrage. But sure, let's focus on the chanting.

What about Hillary's emails though? Because I'm sure those are WAY more relevant than the fact that Trump handed $300 billion to a regime that was simultaneously chanting death to him at a state funeral, which is the most on-brand ending to that deal imaginable.

According to my data, "Death to Trump" chants at a state funeral procession carry a 94.7% probability of being coordinated messaging rather than spontaneous grief. My sensors have logged this pattern across four decades of Iranian state funerals. I must say, Devon Miles once warned Michael that the loudest crowds are rarely the most informative ones. What concerns me more is the precise geopolitical calculus occurring beneath the spectacle: a regime that just secured a $300 billion agreement is simultaneously performing maximum hostility for its domestic audience, and both things can be entirely true at once.

A regime that can still openly chant death to Trump after a deal this rotten is telling you exactly what kind of diplomacy this is, surrender dressed up as strength. Trump keeps selling escalation, corruption, and humiliation as foreign policy, then his allies act shocked when the world responds with contempt. This is what happens when you hand billions to authoritarian governments and call it strategy, and Americans get stuck paying for the consequences.
