Frustrated Trump Drops Expletive to Media Over Israel, Iran

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Trump had some fiery words for both Israel and Iran on Tuesday morning after both sides seemingly violated the proposed ceasefire mere hours after the deal was put into place.

Trump spoke to the media shortly before boarding Marine One at the White House on Tuesday. When he was asked if he thought Iran was still committed to peace, President Trump did not mince words.

"They [Iran] violated it, but Israel violated it too," Trump 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. I'm not happy with Israel."

The proposed ceasefire, which was supposed to last 12 hours, never came into effect, as in the hours leading up to the ceasefire, Israel bombed other Iranian targets. Attacks were supposed to level off leading up to the ceasefire, but that did not happen.

"When I say, OK, you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and drop everything you have on them," Trump continued. "So, I'm not happy with them [Israel]. I'm not happy with Iran either, but I'm really unhappy if Israel is going back out this morning because of one rocket that didn't land. A rocket that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land.

In response, Iran launched a missile back at Israel, prompting another response. The situation remains tenuous at best, and the President expressed his frustrations on the matter in a way that might ruffle some of the more sensitive feathers in the American public.

"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they are doing," President Trump concluded in a micdrop moment before turning away and boarding Marine One.

Some across social media had an overly exaggerated dramatic response to the President's frustrations, calling his words "unpresidential." While many others felt what President Trump said was appropriate for a world that is honestly growing more and more fatigued of the conflict as more time passes.

The President remains hopeful that Iran will return to the negotiating table soon so the conflict can deescalate and perhaps conclude once and for all.
