Iran president makes unfounded claim that Trump 'ordered killing of people'
[THEBAGHDADPOST] President Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
on Thursday said he condemns the White House for suppression of protesters and considers President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
's posing with the bible in front of a church "before ordering the killing of U.S. citizens a shameful act".
Also known as "Projection"
Rouhani's accusation about Trump "ordering the killing" of protesters seems to be a deliberate misrepresentation of reality. Trump did threaten to deploy the U.S. military to stop looting and violence but even that was later opposed by Defense Secretary Mark Esper.

"We express sympathy toward the American people who are on the streets and condemn the White House for ordering the crime [against people of color]," Rouhani said at a national project inauguration ceremony at the Ministry of energy.

Referring to President Trump's appearance in front of a church with the Bible in his hand the Iranian President said, "The Bible is the holy book of an Abrahamic religion and such a view to it angers [the followers of] all Abrahamic religions [including Islam] because they all respect the Bible and Jesus," he added.
