Summary

President Trump has expressed outrage over Iran's 80 million bounty on his head, considering it a gross underestimation of his worth, particularly valuing his hair at 150 million.

Abstract

In a recent turn of events, President Donald Trump has reacted with indignation to Iran's decision to place an $80 million bounty on his head in retaliation for the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani. Trump took to Twitter to voice his displeasure, claiming the amount is an "insult" and that his hair alone is worth more than the bounty. The Iranian government announced the bounty, equivalent to one US dollar for every Iranian citizen, would be paid in cash to Trump's assassin, along with an Apple iPhone. Rumors suggest the bounty could be doubled if someone can prove Senator Lindsey Graham to be "a man's man." The situation has escalated the tension between the US and Iran, with Trump's comments reflecting his personal offense at the valuation placed on his life.

Donald Trump responded with indignation after Iran placed an $80 million bounty on his head following the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani last week.

Apparently the president felt the price was too low.

“Eighty million is an insult,” tweeted the president on Sunday night. “Those towel heads clearly don’t know what a great American head is worth. My hair alone is worth $150 million.”

During the televised funereal for the general, the official Iranian broadcast agency said the $80 million, representing one US dollar for every Iranian citizen, would be paid in cash to Trump’s killer. The state news agency also said it would throw in an Apple iPhone, a popular mobile device in the country.

There are rumors that the bounty would be increased to $160 million, or double the original amount, if anyone could prove that Senator Lindsey Graham is “a man’s man.”
