"We're going to bomb them back to the stone age -"

The president said.

"Where they belong."

And there was anger in his voice when he said this, it was not a joke, or hyperbole. Although, no one really believes he will do anything he says, I do think this is what he really *feels* and I don't get it.

Why? Why do the 93 million people who live in Iran 'belong' in the stone age? What did they do to the USA to deserve such contempt and violence?

@futurebird More to the point what did they ever do to him personally, did he have a deal go sour or something?

He was told that if they killed the head of state as they did in Venezuela this would be over quickly and the US public would cheer and rally around the flag.

And none of that is happening. All of the best solutions to this require skills he lacks like being subtile, building respect, things like that.
