Before he was snuffed out by President Donald Trump, Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani taunted the president with threats.

In retrospect, probably not the brightest idea as it got him a one-way ticket to Hell.

The fight started in July 2017 when the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani responded to President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Agreement and institute a maximum pressure campaign of sanctions.

The United States “must understand that war with Iran is the mother of all wars and peace with Iran is the mother of all peace,” he said at a speech in Tehran.

And in a direct response to President Trump he said “do not play with the lion’s tail, because you will regret it eternally.”

President Trump, not being one to take a threat from anyone, gave his response, and it was not the same as the weak responses given by former President Obama.

“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!” the president said.

That is when Soleimani sent his warning to the president, calling him “Trump the gambler.”

That was, of course, about a year before a missile ended his campaign of terror on Americans and other innocent people.

“The U.S. President, in response to statements by our president, made some idiotic comments on Twitter. It is beneath the dignity of the president of the great Islamic country of Iran to respond, so I will respond, as a soldier of our nation,” he said.

“You threaten us with a measure that the world has not seen before. First of all, it has been over a year since Trump became U.S. President, but that man’s rhetoric is still that of a casino, of a bar.

“He talks to the world in the style of a bartender or a casino manager. When he talks to China, to Russia, to Europe, or to anyone in the world, one feels that a gambler is talking,” he said.

Then he insinuated that Iran has sleeper cells in the United States that are prepared to strike when given the order.

“Not a night goes by when we don’t think about you in our sleep. Let me tell you, Mr. Trump the gambler… Let me tell you… Know that we are near you, in places that don’t come to your mind.

“We are near you in places that you can’t even imagine. We are a nation of martyrdom. We are the nation of Imam Hussein. Ask around. We have endured many hardships.

“Come, we are waiting for you. We are the real men on the scene, as far as you are concerned. You know that a war would mean the loss of all your capabilities.

“You may start the war, but we will be the ones to determine its end. Therefore, you must not offend the Iranian nation. You must not offend our president.

“The United States used to have charisma. Whenever one of its ships would sail, countries would collapse.

“Today, you are collecting the garbage of the Iranian nation – the hypocrites and all the opponents of the revolution. Is that whom you pin your hopes on? Is this America?”

Yeah Soleimani? Who collapsed this time?
