Will 45's backdown from Iran cause him to lose attendees at his next rally?

Deplorables don't like blowing an opportunity to bomb those 'Muslims" (they don't know what a Persian is).

Reminds me of David Koresh and the Waco cult. Or the cult around Jim Jones. Or the cult that swept a nation in the '30s....the Nazis.
