President Donald Trump raged at Israel and Iran Tuesday as both countries threatened a ceasefire agreement put in place Monday night.
TV networks were caught by surprise by his fury, running unedited curse words from the president live to their morning audiences.
Israel claimed Iran violated the deal by aiming missiles at their country. An Israeli attack reportedly took out an Iranian missile launcher.
“As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I've never seen before,” Trump said. “I'm not happy with Israel. I'm not happy with Iran either, but I'm really unhappy [with Israel].”
As reporters attempted to yell out more questions, Trump said, “We 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 then abruptly walked away from reporters, on his way to fly to a NATO summit in the Hague.
CNN anchor John Berman said, “The President of the United States does not know if this ceasefire is still in effect. That's where we are this morning. He thinks both sides have violated it. And you heard him at the end there. Just words of really, I think, frustration with both Israel and Iran.”
Before swearing on live TV, Trump also unleashed on CNN for its reporting on the United States' air strike on Iran’s nuclear facility. “The fake news, like CNN in particular, they're trying to say, ‘well, I agree that it was destroyed, but maybe not that destroyed.’ You know what they're doing?” Trump asked rhetorically, “They're really hurting great pilots that put their lives on the line. CNN is scum and so is MSDNC.”
Before he spoke with reporters, Trump posted on Truth Social, “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”
