In a rare outburst, former U.S. President Donald Trump shocked reporters by swearing while discussing the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel. “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don’t know what the f\*ck they’re doing,” he said, later adding, “Do you understand that?”
The moment, captured by ABC’s Rachel Scott, sparked strong reactions online, with users calling Trump “emotional” and even “our biggest embarrassment.”
The remarks came after Trump ordered the bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites—Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordo—prompting Iran to retaliate with missile strikes on a U.S. base in Qatar. Trump dismissed Iran’s response as “very weak” and praised them for giving advance notice.
Despite a ceasefire announcement, more missiles were fired, leading Trump to issue a blunt warning to Israel: “DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS… BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!”
Trump’s departure from the G7 summit heightened concerns, as he claimed the issue was “much bigger” than a ceasefire. Online commenters warned the world might be on the brink of war, calling the situation “the most dangerous 24 hours” of his presidency.
