President Trump 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 fuck they’re doing."

But he's not wrong.

True.

But you'd assume that you'd know what was coming if you were the guy standing between them dressed in black with a whistle...

True.

He is really really cross with Israel through. Surprisingly so. It’s like a massive penny has just dropped.

Makes you wonder what he'll say to the Press Corps when he leaves the loo on Airforce 1.

Maybe there should be a swear jar?

You see if I were trying to play him, I'd make sure I did it well enough for the world not to even suspect.

If Trump feels he has been made a fool of, then his spiteful wrath - backed with the US military - could be a thing of terrible beauty.

And rather than widen the MAGA rift, it would bring them back together again. Teaching people who make fun of their messiah is far higher in their priorities than being upset with his lies.

But did he just figure this out?

If he did, then he is the first to do so. As he will claim in a few hours time.

JoshLymanSwagger · 24/06/2025 13:00

Hopefully when he arrives at the Hague, he will be treated in the manner to which he should become accustomed.

MsJinks · 24/06/2025 13:05

Like my kids when young and fighting - promising me they’ll stop - then sneakily pushing the other - just saying whatever to get me to shut up I guess.
Difference being I knew not to believe them!
I’m still not sure what was truly resolved for Israel or Iran by the orange man - or even what the point of it all really is for the US tbh - except the Peace prize! Or maybe control of minerals/oil, or Trump Gaza resort 🤷🏼‍♀️

"no one knew how chaotic things were in the Middle East. No one before understood the complexity of the relationship between Iran and Israel"

Yup. He’s pissed off. I think he’s just realised he’s been played by Israel. This keeps happening to him with Putin too.

By the looks of it, Little Donny didn't get much sleep last night. Went to bo-bo's thinking he was the Prince of Peace, got woken up before dawn with the news he'd been Bibi'd.

Trump likes his dog references - so a golden orange oldie for him:
He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.

It’s a bit annoying that places are just clipping the f-bomb part of that interview. The whole thing is worth watching. Especially if you bear in mind that it’s only 3 days since Trump was dropping bombs on Iran for Israel. It’s an almost complete 180 from his previous stance.

It’s Trump, so it won’t last any longer than 24hrs. But it’s up there with all his ‘I don’t understand why Putin did this’ interviews. It’s one of those rare moments where he seems totally compos mentis and you realise how utterly clueless he is.

Pedallleur · 24/06/2025 13:38

what a time to be alive in The Kremlin. Must have him on a loop or YouTube shorts.

RafaistheKingofClay · 24/06/2025 13:50

They seem to be busy bombing Ukranian passenger trains today. Another overwhelming success for Trump as peace negotiator.

Serpentstooth · 24/06/2025 13:53

Another earlier President's quote for you, Bigly "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time". The sooner you find this out, the happier many of us will be. 👋asap

This is pretty much what I was thinking.

Although my exact thought was "Ceasefire schmeasefire, there is no ceasefire. He's just made one of his pronouncements to Israel and Iran and expects fawning obedience". I'll bet he's stunned. His sycophants may say 'how high?' when he says 'jump' but TPTB in Iran and Israel aren't sycophants, they're both playing him for the fool that he is.

And the Nobel Peace prize goes to..........not Scrotus.

Serpentstooth · 24/06/2025 14:08

The whole world's gone mad. Nobel may as well be awarded to Mr Blobby if Trump's a serious candidate.

Serpentstooth · 24/06/2025 14:24

Who does Bigly's overnight social media? Just had the pleasure of seeing last night's Truth Social guff. Very Orwellian. He obviousluy doesn't come up with it himself. Is it public knowledge?

SerendipityJane · 24/06/2025 14:26

Trump likes his dog references

Ironic, as the only POTUS not to own a dog,.

RafaistheKingofClay · 24/06/2025 14:28

He’d have trouble keeping Noem away from the dog.

Meanwhile this amused me.

But in reading the comments sections of various social media posts where people were fighting about Leavitt, it became clear that conservative women find her embarrassing.

This. Thank you. Absolutely what I've been struggling to express myself but couldn't find the right words.

JoshLymanSwagger · 24/06/2025 15:03

Just out of curiosity, how will the very religious Republicans react to a President with a potty mouth?

DuncinToffee · 24/06/2025 15:09

He is meeting the Dutch king and queen today and will stay at a palace, he will be happy for a bit.
