President Donald Trump startled onlookers with a profane outburst when he was asked about former President Barack Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran.
The 80-year-old Trump has been fixated on proving the agreement to end his war in Iran is stronger than the Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action – which he withdrew from in May 2018, during his first term – and he blew up Wednesday morning when asked about the comparison at the G7 summit.
"Nobody could've made this deal," Trump groused. "The JCPOA done by Obama … he gave them $1.7 billion in cash — green cash, from banks — into a Boeing 757 and flew it into Iran. He tried to bribe his way out. I didn't do that .… and you know what the Iranians did? They laughed at Obama and they said he's a stupid son of a b----."
Trump's flare-up – which came as he was seated with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France – alarmed many who saw his comments on social media.
"He is not well," sighed journalist Juliet Jeske, who runs the "Decoding Fox News" account.
"Iran literally brought in a team of psychologists to help during negotiations because of how erratic and unhinged Trump is lol," recalled the popular "Good Politics Guy" account.
"A vulgar and profane serial liar," sneered veteran journalist Alan Friedman.
"Obama's JCPOA prevented Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons without any loss of life or billions spent on a needless war," observed political scientist and former diplomat Michael McFaul.
"‘Unlike MY deal…which is SO amazing that I still refuse to show anyone the details!’" joked filmmaker Andy Ostroy.
"It took us 20 years to lose in Vietnam. This dumb--- did it in 100 days," argued Army veteran Bruce Crossing.
"Trump is tormented by jealousy of a superior human being," opined veteran journalist John Harwood. "Obama's superiority, as a president and a person, hurts Trump especially badly because he's a huge racist and Obama is black."
"Trump is just writing the jokes for Late Night comedy himself," offered author and lecturer Andreas Krieg.
"He’s so jealous of Obama opening his spectacular Obama Center tomorrow," said the popular X user Susan in Delaware. "He’s obsessed with him. But this is awful on the global stage."
"Trump is always projecting. ALWAYS," marveled activist and pundit Tara Setmayer.
