Last update: ~10:15 EDT"Speaking to reporters before getting onto his helicopter to go to the Nato summit in The Hague, Trump said he was unhappy with both Israel and Iran for breaking the ceasefire agreement he brokered.
Reserving his harshest criticism for Israel, he said: "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I’ve never seen before, the biggest load we’ve seen.
“I’m not happy with Israel. When I say ‘OK now you have 12 hours’, you don’t go out in the first hour and drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran either.”"
“I know I gave Israel all these weapons, plotted with Netanyahu to commit genocide and start a massive war in the middle east, dropped bombs on Iran, and threatened Khamenei’s life, but this was about getting attention away from all the shit I’M doing in the US! I didn’t want to get caught up in a war, I just wanted people to stop being mad at me and redirect then away from all the constitutional violations I’m committing, the people I’m deporting illegally, all the rights I’m stripping away from everyone, and all the government institutions in sabotaging. Oh, and I was supposed to get a nobel prize and a resort in Israel when Bibi agreed to stop his war, so now he’s screwing that up too!”
Genuinely seems like someone told Trump this would be called “the twelve days war” and he would get a nobel peace prize for it. Bibi probably agreed and fell over in tears laughing when Trump left the room.
Precisely how I imagine any political meeting goes with him. It’s like The Emperors New Clothes, except the king is a complete and stubborn moron on top of being vain and naive.
“The Emperor’s New Brain”
Two Doll Donnie does NOT think this deep. He dropped bombs because he was being lambasted for yet another “Decide in 2 weeks” decision. It’s a kneejerk reaction to being called a TACO, that is all. USA goes to war these days because the POTUS clown got it’s fee fees hurt.
