The only thing exploding faster than missiles is Trump’s patience.
President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Israel on Tuesday to “not bomb Iran” as he departed for the NATO summit in The Hague, taking a critical position just 24 hours after brokering a fragile ceasefire already threatened after a missile strike from Iran.
Speaking to reporters before takeoff, the president said that both Israel and Iran had breached the terms of the truce and made clear he was “not pleased” with Israel’s promise to launch retaliatory airstrikes after agreeing to the deal.
Asked by a reporter about whether Iran had violated the ceasefire Trump replied: “They violated but Israel violated it, too.”
The president continued: “Israel as soon as we made the deal they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I had never seen before. The biggest load that we have seen. I’m not happy with Israel.”
He added: “You know, when I say ‘okay, now you have 12 hours’ – you don’t go out in the first hour just drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran either. But I’m really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because the one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn’t land, I’m not happy about that.”
Before departing, he said: “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don’t know what the fuck they are doing.”
In a further post on Truth Social just moments later he wrote:
ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The comments come as the Israeli military vowed to carry out “intense” retaliatory strikes on Tehran following ballistic missile attacks from Iran that struck Beersheba on Tuesday morning, killing at least four civilians. In response, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered a “forceful” counteroffensive, targeting what he described as “the heart of Tehran.”
Once again in chorus, the left all sing that the Trump White House is in chaos. Really? Chaos? It appears to me that this White House and administration is the most capable, competent, coordinated, on-task administration we’ve ever seen. Compare that to that last circus where they didn’t even know where their Secretary of Transportation or Secretary of Defense were at one point. Of course, the President himself didn’t know where HE was.
Right now, all the left can do is lie to themselves to try and maintain what they regard as sanity.
