Since Trump has been in office, he has said (tweeted) quite a lot. His most recent powerful tweet:
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!
Personally I am at odds by such a public show of power and authority. I have no problem Trump saying this to Rouhani personally, but out there for the world to see is a dangerous game to play in my opinion.
Dangerous game? Is there any other sort of game in politics between countries?
Trump lies so much that most of the world has learned to ignore him though there could be a few sociopathic religious fanatics that take him seriously.
I don't necessarily have a problem with Trump's tough words, however, his unwillingness to stand up to these evil leaders in face-to-face meetings negates any 'show of power'.
Basically, I'm seeing that Trump likes to tough talk over Twitter from the comfort and safety of his bedroom at the White House, but as soon as he meets these leaders in person, he wimps out.

Why does the US not taking crap from Iran anymore need to be kept secret? If the world doesn't understand by now that the US is under new, different leadership than the previous 8 years of obsequiousness, cowardice and acquiescence that was trademark Obama foreign policy, well they haven't been paying attention for the last 18 months.
The world is used to a United States that gets threatened, condemned, despised and publicly insulted and humiliated every 5 seconds, and is supposed to just sit and take whatever comes at them with a smile and a pleasant "oh tut tut, you silly miscreant you, can't we all just get along?" That made the whole world feel good, kicking America in the groin every day and getting away with it. We had a change in management back in 2016, and new management doesn't like eating as much crap as the prior management, so the world is going to have to get used to a new United States that hits back, and does so with vigor, even where saber rattling is concerned.
And where is the danger? As I said before, the US gets officially condemned by somebody every single day, and has since Japan surrendered in 1945. Are the daily condemnations now going to be super-condemnations? Double secret condemnations? Extra strength, new and improved condemnations? The world has hated the US as te primary evil of the world since the USSR broke up in 1990. Des this latest Trump reply mean they are going to really, really hate us with cherries on top?
Well, in eight years, he didn't get us into a war with them. Trump has pushed us ever so slightly closer.
