Trump, 79, explodes in F-word meltdown as his ceasefire unravels

Who would have thought that bringing peace to the Middle East would be so difficult?!

His obsession with the Nobel peace price is really what's driving all this. He's been willing to do deals nobody else would make just to get that recognition, and it's ironically inflaming more conflict.
- The best news I read is that his nomination was withdrawn so now he's extra yippy.
- If he wanted a Nobel peace prize he should have just committed genocide. That's what most of the others did.
- I would think truly being a mediator would require not playing both sides of the negotiating table for your own ego inflation, but I’m no global affairs expert
- His obsession with the Nobel peace price is really what's driving all this
  Nah, it's much more simple than even that: he's just a malignant narcissist and a colossal idiot who happens to have a talent for grifting*. Everything he's ever done has been because of that combo.
  *ETA: as well as the wealth and connections to play life on story mode from day one, of course
- His Daddy problems made him a liability to our country.
Many tried and failed, but now it's Trump. So it will fail spectacularly.
- Many say that it fails more beautifully than any other president. No one fails better than Trump.
Only those not living under a rock for the past 50 years
Or those not being all coked up for the past 50 years
Or those not busy with Epstein kids
Or those...

WE understand that. Someone deluded themselves into thinking that a couple bombs would magically produce peace. This is not a Harry Potter movie, so Explosio Nocturna did not work.

We have the biggest bombs, the best bombs. Everybody says we have the most powerful, beautiful, you know they can't make them in other countries these other places they don't even have water. Can you believe that? Imagine that no water but bombs, they make bombs. So we send our biggest and best, the most powerful military in the world, and they say oh no Mr President oh Mr Trump won't you please please not send the bombs but that's what it is folks. No water. And they're begging me, every day they're sending someone to beg at my feet for a ceasefire and I say ok! No more shooting. And that's how it works folks.

I don't know... When I was a teenager, Hermione made me Explosio Nocturna.

The odds of us experiencing a loser of this caliber again in our lifetimes is pretty slim.

Interestingly enough, the odds of me ever having a shred of respect for this country again in our lifetimes is also pretty slim.

The entire admin and half the country are losers of this caliber, you're drowning in them. Nice thought though.
- Closer to a third. Maybe two thirds if you include the lazy fucks that couldn't be bothered to stand in line for a few minutes.
- I think people are underestimating how big a loser Trump is. Like the people supporting him are losers, but it takes quite a bit to approach his unprecedented levels of loserhood.
Fuck this hurts to read, and empathize with.
Unfortunately people like Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, JD Vance, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and more still exist.
They'll have to have the cannon custom made.
I just want to move back to when we were on course for Idiocracy. That's preferable to whatever this is.

“You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing! Do you understand that?” he told reporters Tuesday morning on his way to the NATO summit in The Hague.

Everybody has understood that for decades.

And now Trump has understood it for half a day. Being the way he is, this is a "Nobody knew..." moment.
- If someone makes a parody Trump account just for his 'TIL' moments I'd subscribe in a heartbeat lol

Whoever produced The Apprentice should commit seppuku in atonement for helping Trump build his platform.

Peoples fucking dying

Cannot print fuck

He said fuck for fuck's sake

It's a word. I'm getting broken down by the amount of censorship on the internet, particularly Youtube. Their guidelines only state to withhold any uncensored cursing or content deemed only suitable for mature audiences for the first fifteen seconds, to avoid being tagged as mature and the video viewcount and profit largely reduced. A very small price to pay for freedom of human expression and life. But channels take this much further than the relatively mild corporation's rules, such as:
Censoring or obscuring all expletives deemed by Christianity to be foul
Censoring or obscuring all words describing a sensitive subject (e.g. rape, sex, sexual, abuse, murder, suicide, kill)
Censoring any moment in which a being is subject to any form of impact, whether accidental, assault or police abuse
These actively block and suppress conversing about real issues, leading to more harm, more assault, and more silent victims. Every time the word suicide is censored signifies to me that another person has committed suicide because they weren't heard. This has been proven to be correlation.
Censorship of human life, experience and expression not only insults my personal ideals of life and freedom, but actually causes more harm, and I cannot forgive that.
What makes swear words so offensive? It’s not their meaning or even their sound. Is language itself a red herring here?
Being Silenced: The Impact of Negative Social Reactions on the Disclosure of Rape
Censorship of words like ‘rape’ and ‘sexual assault’ on social media hurts victims more than it stops bad actors
- Channels aren't doing that because they want to. YouTube has a lot of rules, some of which are written down. They do it because YouTube has flagged them in the past for demonetization on the issue, and they can't afford to do that too many times. It can also impact your ability to do livestreams.
  It's on top of a pile of issues that's making YouTube content creation non-viable for everyone.
- This is why I love Any Austin. Whenever he says "fuck", he puts a bleep somewhere around that time, sometimes a couple of seconds off.
- some day we're gonna run out of letters in the alphabet for "*-word", just say whatever, it's the meaning that counts
I'll be honest, I don't mind swearing on social media as I'm an adult but I don't think there's any need to swear in the news media.
- Tell that to the president of the free world

Not that I don't like to see him miserable but if saying fuck counts as a meltdown, I meltdown every time I speak. Honestly, its not even a signifier of stress, its more likely to signal your being genuine

How many times can you recall a president cursing when talking to reporters? Even Trump doesn't curse much in his tweets or press briefings. So it's definitely notable.
- He seemed calmer than his normal demeanour
- It's one of those things. When you can't find a better way to express your frustration as an educated person than resorting to dropping f-bombs, it is indicative of a low vocabulary.
  Anyone else with a basic high-school education thrust into the spotlight would find a way to express themselves and their thought in a clear and cohesive way.
  But they are obviously the ones who don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Context matters. Someone using profanity more often than they otherwise would in the same context is generally a signifier of stress or excitement.
For fucks sake, me too.
(I apologise for the above meltdown)
Fucking hell, I'm having a meltdown in this very sentence.
Eh... "Fuck" is just a filler word for most New York Natives in general.

OH NO, NOT THE F-WORD.

Seriously, why the fuck is this news?
- If Obama had said “fuck” in office, wouldn’t have been 24/7 for two weeks on Fox News?
- So they have the excuse to write "trump explodes" in the headline

ICE will just round up some more brown people to make him feel better.

Sending ICE to Iran would make someone feel better.
- They could have a bake sale to try and raise money to get home.
  A win-win for sure.

maybe he should've grabbed them by the pussy

The fact that this went away, really makes me confident that America is a failed state.
- nationalism gave us the hubris to think we were impervious to fascism. now we have a convicted felon rapist manbaby, completely immune to any consequence whatsoever, calling all the shots while our peaceful protesters are abducted by masked goons
  barely 250 years. pathetic
- Most MAGA don't care about women anyway. They view women as sub-human. Even the MAGA women defend this.
- It turns out conservatives are offended by sex, not sexual assault. They're historically pretty okay with that one.
Great point. Trump has never once showed a hint of empathy and only sees things from his own perspective.
Whether he's talking about sexually assaulting women or using the military to assault another country, it's all very similar to him.
Trump's many obvious deficiencies make him one of the least qualified people to negotiate peace with other countries.
- Oddly he sounds like my ex wife - completely without empathy unless its about her pain- which should command center stage at all times.

At some point even he has to realize that he's a joke right?

Like even his syphillitic brain can't not see what's right in front of him forever, can it?

To other world leader's he's a joke. Someone who they can stroke his ego to get whatever they want, and then ignore him entirely and do whatever they feel like anyway.

"Israel..don't drop those bombs" Israel had no intention of listening to him. Russia had no intention of listening to him. They make his sense of self importance skyrocket and so they say whatever they need to say to get him to do whatever THEY want him to do, and then don't listen to him the rest of the time.

Is he really this fucking stupid?

That would probably happen as part of a narcissistic collapse. In the most extreme cases, it may trigger suicidal reactions.
- Heh he’ll get replaced quickly, and a new cult leader will rise. I wonder who it’ll be. Vance and trumps family aren’t popular, neither is Musk. But then again, in a dictatorship popularity isn’t important.
- Oh I never knew that had a name.
  I love doing that to pathological narcissists, whenever safe.
At some point even he has to realize that he’s a joke right?
Nah. Narcissism is a hell of a drug.
Is he really this fucking stupid?
Yes. Trump definitively answered the question of whether a complete, total, utter, absolute, unconditional moron can fail upwards and be fabulously wealthy.
This is what generational wealth in an ultra-capitalist society with a different justice system for the wealthy can produce. A monster. A stupid fucking monster.
Yes.
At some point even he has to realize that he's a joke right?
Like even his syphillitic brain can't not see what's right in front of him forever, can it?
Is he really this fucking stupid?
You fail to understand how narcissism works. He's literally incapable of believing anything negative about himself.
- I wish I was that way honestly. I almost can't believe anything positive about myself.
Yes.
The answer to your question is yes
But he asked them so nicely to not violate the ceasefire on his social media site! He said they'd only do a "Plane Wave"!
- It is so weak that he expects the world to read his xitter as a news source and that he has to sign it to affirm that he is in fact (in all caps) THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Also where the heck is my thank you for my attention to this matter. Such an utter buffoon.
The problem is everyone else clearly. If only they just listen to him everything would be fine. Why is everyone so stupid!!? Why is no one listening to big brain??!
This is how you tell me that you haven't been raised by narcissists without telling me that you haven't been raised by narcissists.

One of the more honest things he's ever said.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I feel kinda bad for laughing, but this is just peak comedy lol.

There was no ceasefire

Surely he had concepts of a ceasefire

“You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing! Do you understand that?”

Yes, we all understood that for a long time, and not just with this conflict - ironic you would say they "don't know what the f- they're doing", though. Who would have thought diplomacy requires more than "I'm the 'big guy', so they'll naturally listen to anything I have to say". Who would have thought these long standing conflicts would require more than saying "let there be peace" to solve.

We all, nameless citizens of the world, have known it for a long time - even though we can't do much about it - about Israel/Iran, about Russia/Ukraine, and so on. While you, toddler living in a golden bubble that you are, have been focusing exclusively on golfing and how to perfect the art of the grift, as well as securing golden parachutes from your grifter friends each time you manage to bankrupt a casino. So now you get to the big chair and think the chair is what gives you power, when in fact it was most of your predecessors' hard work that gave so much power to the POTUS chair. The same power you're now imploding.

At this point I'm wondering if there really was a ceasefire.

Everything this guy says is a lie until proven otherwise.

If I were a betting man, it seems very likely he just made the whole thing up. Perhaps he pitched the idea and was turned down by either Israel or Iran (probably both). Went to social media to proclaim his victory. Leading both countries to attach each other to show the whole thing was bullshit.

Let's not forget, he claimed he was the lynch pin behind the India and Pakistan ceasefire, only to have both sides say he wasn't involved at all.

Didn't they settle everything in the middle east under his first term? The Saudis sent Trump's inept, unqualified, security risk son in law nepotism hire Jared Kushner billions to manage afterward to get rich from to celebrate the long lasting peace they negotiated /s

Someone should probably explain to this moron that a tweet saying, "We'll stop bombing them if they stop bombing us" doesn't count as a "ceasefire deal".

Fucking idiot

Almost like announcing something on "truth" social doesn't automatically make it the truth. They probably didn't even know anything about a cease fire until his post.

It's an old grift. If you don't want to actually do something, but you still want credit for doing it, then just say that you're doing it. Many people will be tricked.
It's the same reason the Nazis called themselves "socialists" despite never supporting socialism.

I wanna take a moment to appreciate the headline which takes special care to note his advanced age directly. Big "old man yells at cloud" energy.

The office is a documentary of the White House…

Michael Scott does get some character development and eventually moves on with his life. You can't say the same about the "Michael Scott" of the White House.
- True

all that article and doesn't even show the literal video.

here's the link, sorry it's reddit

here’s the link, sorry it’s reddit
Where?
- shit, can you not see it? hold on I'm using an app, let me try changing the link text
wait, but it does, I just watched it, you just have to skip to the last 10 secs of the almost 4min vid
- yeah the daily beast really fucking wanted me to watch a segment of Fox and Friends for that. kind of a letdown after all the hype.
  I did enjoy hearing reporters just vomit verbal diarrhea at him.

It's a Good Thing he WASNT wearing a Tan Suit while dropping F bombs! THAT would have been Disrespectful!

I bet he curses out his diaper changer too.

Muslims and Jews have been fighting each other for nearly 3000 years.

If anyone thinks they're going to be the one person who can stop that conflict, they're absolutely delusional.

But Islam was founded 1400 years ago
- In this case I meant the literal definition of Muslim, not just Islam. The Persians were fighting Judeans back in 500 BC over the same land. It's still the same conflict, just under a different name millenia later.
But he said it sternly!

What a stupid comment

Lol

Almost like the US hasn’t done anything fucked up to piss them off for decades…

He throws gas on a fire and doesn’t understand why it keeps burning?

They shouldn't be allowed to have the age in the title unless he dropped dead.

I'm good with the media constantly reminding people how old he is. He was always dim, and he's getting dimmer.
Why? Age is relevant when it comes to political representation.

The 12 Day War cease fire ended in 12 Hours.

Say whatever you want about him, that man has the best comedic timing

I would not characterize this as a meltdown, it's just an unhinged guy going on and on about "MSDNC" (MSNBC) and fake news and how awesome the B-2 pilots are and how it was "dark with no moon" for the Iran bombing (as if that fuckin matters for modern weapons systems) and so on and so forth.

They want to make him sound crazy (which he is) but come on, there are actual real problems to deal with, which are masked a little by calling this particular episode a meltdown. So he said the word fuck, who cares

Okay, but he tweeted out a peace deal between two countries he didn't consult, and he actually got upset that it didn't work
Come on. Let me have this one. This is the funniest thing to happen this year

I'm damn tired of how so many in this country just expect us to go along with this FARCE of a presidency.

Oh Donnie, you poor unfortunate bastard. Why does governing have to be so difficult? Sad face and tiny violin.

It's almost like they take you for an absolute fool.

So presidential.

"Mission Accomplished"

LOL is he an idiot for thinking it mattered if it was dark or am I one for thinking it probably hasn't mattered for at least twenty years? (approx 1:50 timestamp in the embedded video)

The Media: "Coming up, more on our top story--Tr*mp's brilliant deal! But first, the latest on Hollywood celebrities who you'll never meet and who don't affect you at all!"

The primary reason for the war is done. Israel must choose between ceasing aggression, endless bombardment with no end goal, or deploying ground troops. All but a ceasefire is untenable. Trump is right, somehow. Iran's retaliative aggression will subcede quickly.

You're right, but
retaliative aggression
sounds a lot like defense.
primary reason for the war
The non-nukes & the trivial deep penetration damage?
I'm not sure that's what Israel meant as the primary reason when they claimed it was the primary reason (since they had all the proof possible to the contrary). It silly to try to solve a bs claim & expect the side that brought forward that bs claim to suddenly be satisfied by the resolution of bs they manufactured. Nothing had changed.

Odd place to note his age? I mean, he's been a dumbfuck for years, nothing new because he's old.
