The Middle East is hanging by a thread.
President Trump made the most Trump statement possible.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene went wild after Donald Trump pulled the pin on this message to “12-Day War” belligerents.
Donald Trump’s explosive ceasefire meltdown rocks Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump’s patience ran out Tuesday morning as he watched Israel and Iran violate the ceasefire he worked around the clock to broker.
Speaking to reporters before departing for a NATO summit in The Hague, Trump unleashed his frustration in a way that caught news anchors completely off guard.
"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," Trump said, using an expletive that immediately went viral across social media.
Trump expressed his displeasure with both nations for breaking the agreement within hours.
"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, the biggest load we’ve seen," Trump told reporters.
"I’m not happy with Israel. When I say ‘OK now you have 12 hours’, you don’t go out in the first hour and drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran either."
The President had announced the ceasefire deal Monday night, with the truce meant to begin Tuesday morning around 0400 GMT, ending what he called the 12-day air war that had raised fears of global repercussions.
But within hours, bombing resumed on both sides, undermining Trump’s diplomatic breakthrough.
Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates Trump’s unfiltered honesty
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) couldn’t contain her excitement when she saw Trump’s brutally honest assessment of the Middle East situation.
"Inject this straight into my veins," Greene posted on X, sharing the video of Trump’s profanity-laced comments about Israel and Iran.
Greene’s enthusiastic response came despite her recent criticism of Trump’s decision to bomb Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.
The Georgia Congresswoman had previously criticized the administration’s decision to drag the U.S. further into involvement which ultimately led to the Big Government Deep State’s dream of U.S. strikes on Iran over the weekend.
"We promised no more foreign wars, no more regime change," Greene told CNN on Monday there’s significant disagreement within the Republican Party over Iran intervention.
But Trump’s unvarnished frustration with both sides clearly resonated with Greene, who has been one of the most vocal critics of endless Middle East conflicts.
Greene had previously posted her "thoughts on bombing Iran" in a lengthy social media stement, writing: "I’m 51 years old. I’m GenX. I’ve watched our country go to war in foreign lands for foreign causes on behalf of foreign interests for as long as I can remember."
"American troops have been killed and forever torn apart physically and mentally for regime change, foreign wars, and for military industrial base profits," she continued. "I’m sick of it."
Her enthusiastic reaction to Trump’s comments suggests she sees his frustration as validation of her America First stance.
Trump faces criticism from both sides of the political aisle
While Greene celebrated Trump’s colorful language, critics from across the political spectrum condemned the President’s remarks as unpresidential and potentially dangerous.
Never-Trumper attorney George Conway responded sarcastically: "Seems like @realDonaldTrump doesn’t know what the f*** he’s doing, either."
Sky News immediately apologized to viewers after broadcasting Trump’s comments live, with an anchor explaining they needed to "apologise for the language by the US President."
The President’s frustration was understandable given the delicate diplomatic work that went into brokering the ceasefire.
Trump had worked to broker a ceasefire to end what sources described as the "biggest ever military confrontation between the Middle East arch-foes."
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had ordered significant strikes on Tehran targets, claiming they were responding to Iranian missile attacks that violated the ceasefire.
Iran’s Islamic Republic denied launching any missiles and said Israel’s attacks had continued for an hour-and-a-half beyond the time the truce was meant to start.
The ceasefire chaos exposes deeper MAGA divisions
Trump’s explosive comments and Greene’s reaction highlight the ongoing tensions within the MAGA movement over foreign intervention.
Greene acknowledged there’s a "very big divide" among Republican voters on Iran, noting younger generations are more "skeptical" of foreign wars.
The Congresswoman had been one of the harshest critics over the weekend strikes, calling the decision "a complete bait and switch" on his 2024 campaign promises.
Greene has aligned herself with prominent MAGA figures like Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who have opposed U.S. intervention in the Middle East.
Massie slammed the bombings as a violation of the "America First" campaign promise.
Trump’s unfiltered frustration with both Israel and Iran appears to have temporarily bridged that divide, with Greene celebrating his honesty about the futility of endless Middle East conflicts.
The President’s comments underscore the impossible position he finds himself in – trying to broker peace between two nations that seem determined to keep fighting no matter what diplomatic progress is made.
Whether the ceasefire can survive the latest violations remains to be seen, but Trump’s raw assessment of the situation has certainly given his base something to rally around.
