And was actually going to say this is 'win-win' for Trump.

Kid gets killed, Needy Amin can harp about it for days and posture like he's being 'tough' with Iran. The death will get way more attention than it would have had Trump not said anything beforehand. Oh, and he'll play it up that he 'asked nicely' ...

Since he's a complete sociopath he cares not one whit whether he helps to get this young man killed.
