It sounds like panic to me. "Open the f***ing strait you b*****ds or there will be hell. Praise be to Allah.
This from the president of the US. He really isn't fit for the job. Swearing gets you nowhere.

Can't believe he said that. BTW he spelled the words out in full, no asterisks.
Only CNN appear to be reporting on it. Nothing on Sky or BBC. Possibly I missed it. Think he has finally lost the plot!

I haven’t watched any tv but my partner tells me Sky say they can’t repeat the words he’s been using one of them beginning with f.

It is in full on the BBC News page, posted at 14.39 on the livestream. It has a very clear warning to say it contains offensive language.

Can he possibly believe that if he shouts and swears at the Iranians they’ll do what he wants them to do. He’s like a child trying to get his own way by having a tantrum.

What an embarrassment to his country.

DamaskRose Sun 05-Apr-26 18:30:38

I think he is actually insane. I think he really believes he can do anything and say anything. It’s terrifying.

Dylis Sun 05-Apr-26 19:16:06

I am totally confused that no-one in the US seems to have the political ability to stop him and hold him to account! Unbelievable in a modern, democratic country.

He is the western worlds Putin, Netanyahu and every other dictator but Americans seem blind to him! This war he started is just a Tom Cruise film to him, the service peoples lives mean nothing to him. Barron Trump must be sent on one of the ‘excursions’ as he calls the bombing raids. I’m sure they could find a space for him. Oh but I’ve just remembered Trump is a draft dodger so his offspring won’t be putting their lives on the line. I read somewhere that rich kids don’t go to war, and it’s true. Their families know someone who knows someone..

What are ordinary Americans thinking??
Or those in the Republican Party who are sane??
And how could so many voters have thought Trump was good to go. The man is a maniac but is free to wage illegal wars and insult every nation with impunity, causing countless innocent deaths and the global economy to tank.
I feel as if the US is no the enemy of ‘the free world’ rather than the champion of it.
I cannot see any other western nation putting up with this. Unless we vote in Farage that is. 😬

*is now the enemy of ‘the free world’

any notice they have no pets/he is never water/and i think the meds for the dementia is backfiring

We do not have pets. Never have had except for a pair of hamsters when the children were small.

What do you think that says about people?

Evil, hateful excuse for a man. 😔

And yet many admire him, some on this forum! Unbelievable

Happygirl79 Sun 05-Apr-26 20:59:53

It's widely believed that Trump is suffering from a kind of dementia which shrinks the part of his brain that filters things. This may be why he literally has no filters now and is swearing and speaking his mind rather than keeping rude things to himself as he should

Rumour has it that Iran have agreed a deal providing there is a regime change in the US.

Luckygirl3 Sun 05-Apr-26 21:07:09

I am less worried about the foul language, although clearly totally inappropriate, than I am that the statement is deranged. Surely someone in his entourage will point out that he must not and cannot say these things .... and might notice that this is deranged.
What does he have to do to make someone step in?

That would be so ironic, if it's true.

Oh America! How much longer are you going to allow this mentally ill man to continue as your president?

This situation surely can’t be left to “play out” until the next Presidential election.
Democrats where are you and what are you actually doing now.

Ladyleftfieldlover Sun 05-Apr-26 21:23:48

I think people have been saying that he has to go since he was first elected in 2016. There really are no words.

MayBee70 Sun 05-Apr-26 21:29:02

I’m really worried that he is actually going to let all hell let loose on Iran….

This is what I wonder as well. Where are the Democrats calling this maniac to task. Sitting on their hands and letting him hang himself with his own rope is not an option. We have two more years of this lunacy that has already cost countless innocent lives as well as wrecking the global economy.
If the Trump only affected the lives of those in the US adversely that’s bad enough but he is affecting lives everywhere.
As for his voters. Keep your lunatics in the asylum next time.
Tbh the failure of people in power in the US who oppose Trump to do anything about this does lead me to believe that even when Trump leaves office people the world over will not trust the US again.

He sounds like he getting desperate now.

mae13 Sun 05-Apr-26 22:14:06

"Open the fuckin' strait you crazy bastards!"...........so says the supremely dignified President of the United States of America.

Says a lot about the education system in The Land of the Free.

I wonder how long before an Iranian suicide bomber decides to re-create another Twin Towers disaster?

Allsorts Sun 05-Apr-26 22:27:38

The Americans do not apoear to have a problem with Trump, are they all hypnotised by him? I really think he is ready to be committed for the insane. He is a total embarrassment. Vance is a total creep,certainly has no faith except in himself., I think he encourages him.

An Iranian woman being interviewed for BBC News, when asked about talk of "bombing them back to Stone Age", commented that they were one of the oldest civilisations in the world at a time when America was in the Stone Age.

What a vulgar individual he is. I don’t like Starmer as many would know but Lord, I would rather have him any day.

Trump makes himself look more ignorant every time he opens his mouth.
