Donald Trump has finally realized that brokering peace in the Middle East is actually kinda complicated. In fact, you might say it’s really really hard – so hard that people have spent their entire lives trying it and failing miserably.
But Trump apparently thought he’d come up with a winning strategy to stop the Israel/Iran war. If he simply told everyone both countries had agreed to a ceasefire, they’d probably be forced to simply go along with it. After all, if they simply kept bombing each other like nothing had happened, they’d look pretty foolish, right?
Well, they simply kept bombing each other like nothing had happened, and the only person that’s been left looking foolish is Donald Trump. Now he’s absolutely furious. How furious? Well, he took to TruthSocial to yell at Israel: “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!”
And, well, he just dropped what might be the first public presidential f-bomb in United States history! In comments to reporters outside the White House, a clearly tired and frustrated Trump had the following thoughts on Israel and Iran:
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f**k they’re doing.”

While previous presidents have been caught dropping F-bombs before in unguarded mic moments or on private recordings, this is the first time a sitting president has ever responded to a journalist’s query with the F-word. Extremely presidential, sir!
Public humiliation
The thing is, cussing aside, this was probably the most honest and accurate Trump has been to date about Israel. Clearly angry at Netanyahu, he also said:
“Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I’ve never seen before, the biggest load that we’ve seen. I’m not happy with Israel. Okay now I say you have 12 hours, you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them!”

Yeah, well, what are you going to do about it? Trump has always made a show of being a strong world leader who won’t let America be pushed around. Now, before the eyes of the world, Israel is humiliating Trump and the United States by intentionally undermining his “ceasefire”.
We’ll just have to see if this simmering anger translates into any actual action against Israel, but somehow we expect that Trump is just going to have to swallow his pride, bend the knee to Netanyahu, and mutter “please sir, humiliate me some more”.
