They Kill Our People, but I'm OK with It: Trump on Iran

Is that spy story featuring deep intelligence and bad business based in fact, or just TV drama? Trump meets with the PM of Greece but it turns into a press conference about the killing of Iran's general Soleimani, and it reveals his intentions, motives, and persuasive tactics.

• Mike Pompeo's quick summary of the action and what it reveals about how to talk persuasively
• The Good vs Evil archetype and the struggle of American prosperity
• One commonly used Value Judgment language pattern and how it was used to delete who actually is making a decision on whether something is good or bad
• And more!
