Trump Shows Frustration at Israel, Iran, and the Leftwing Gaslight Media

Iran violated the ceasefire a bit, and Israel rushed to punish them for that.

Trump's annoyed that his ceasefire isn't being embraced by both sides.

I think this would be a good time to just say "Let them fight, they clearly want to fight, and the US shouldn't particularly care about stopping them." Particularly given that Iran is crippled and ready to topple.

But Trump does want to appease the Ron Paul pacifist bloc of MAGA, and he wants to honor his pledge to "end more wars than he starts."

[W]hen Iran violated the planned ceasefire and Israel retaliated, Trump was none happy happy about it. Speaking to reporters before departing for the NATO summit at The Hague, Trump was asked whether he believed Iran remained committed to the ceasefire after Israel accused Tehran of violating the agreement. "Yeah, I do. Uh, they violated, but Israel violated it, too," he said, making clear that he saw fault on both sides.

...

The crisis unfolded just hours after the ceasefire took effect, with Iran launching three missiles toward Israel. All the missiles were either intercepted or landed harmlessly, causing no injuries or damage.

When pressed further on Israel's commitment, Trump didn't hold back. "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I'd never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when, when I say, 'Okay, now you have 12 hours,' you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on 'em. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran, either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning because of one rocket that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land."

Wasn't that the whole point of giving them 12 hours before the ceasefire? I'm sure that was the whole point as far as Israel is concerned. When countries accept a ceasefire to begin in the future, they're putting the ceasefire off precisely because they want to get in last licks.

Trump's frustration was palpable as he continued, "I'm not happy about that."

...

Trump summed up his exasperation with a blunt assessment: "You know what we have? 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. Do you understand that?"

Trump was also angry at the "gutless losers" at CNN and "MSDNC" for attempting to find the dark lining in the silver cloud.

Meanwhile: The DHS is rounding up Iranian illegals, at least until a federal judge orders them to all be set free to plant their bombs and execute their targets.

Update: Jeb! checks in.
