Thiessen expresses admiration for former President Donald Trump, particularly for his decisive actions that contrast with the inaction of previous administrations. Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and support for Israel in the region are seen as steps in the right direction, as they signify a commitment to not allow Iran to develop nuclear capabilities unchecked. He argued that while Iran may refrain from significant aggression during Trump's presidency, their ambitions remain intact, and their negotiation tactics seem geared toward biding time until a more favorable political climate might arise.
