Either the New York Times has developed a very dry sense of humor, or they don't realize how ironic their headlines are

The front page of their international edition this morning has a headline declaring:

"In Iran, Trump finds his limits exposed."

Wow, now THAT must have been some kind of revelation, right?

You know, like his limits in things social, environmental, political, personal, academic, historical, military and linguistic have NOT yet been exposed? If the NYT thinks that, their editorial staff must have spent the last ten years buried deeper than the San Andreas Fault.
