Trump has just responded to the Middle East conflict. You’ll wish he hadn’t.

Iran launched a missile attack on Israel on Tuesday, plunging the war-torn region into a new level of conflict. But one American politician was quick to commit violence against himself.

Just moments after the strike, Donald Trump turned to Truth Social to soak up any social benefits from the provocation in the Middle East.

“Look at the world today – look at the missiles flying in the Middle East right now, look at what is happening with Russia/Ukraine, look at the inflation that is destroying the world,” wrote Trump in a letter post. “None of this happened while I was president!”

In another post, Trump called the conflict “completely avoidable.”

“IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED,” Trump said said. “IF I WERE PRESIDENT, THIS WOULDN’T HAPPENED!”

While it’s impossible to say exactly how a Trump presidency would have handled the devastating aftermath of the October 7 attack in Israel, Trump hasn’t exactly been on the side of peace. Instead, he has claimed that Israel is dealing with “complete destruction“If he is not elected in November, he has openly questioned the faith of Jewish Americans if they do not support him over Vice President Kamala Harris, and has done so.” encouraged The Jewish state should “finish what it started.”

Meanwhile, some members of Trump’s inner circle, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner, have been extremely vocal about the complex conflict and called on Israel to further escalate violence against its neighbors.

“Anyone calling for a ceasefire in the north is wrong. There is no turning back for Israel. They cannot now afford not to finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal aimed at them. They will never get another chance,” Kushner said posted on X Saturday.

Also the Republican presidential candidate flack caught by some of his supporters as he hosted Qatari leaders at his Palm Beach resort last month, with some potential MAGA voters condemning the Middle East leaders as anti-Semitic over their country’s role in moderating ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas.

To date, the Ministry of Health in Gaza recorded More than 41,500 dead from the catastrophic conflict in which Israel has weaponized mass hunger and blocked or destroyed access to essential resources such as water, food, fuel, electricity and medical aid.
