President of the United States Donald Trump shared the same message on The Truth Society, criticizing Democrats and major media outlets for their coverage of ongoing events Iran conflictthis is the third time in less than three weeks that he has made the same statement.
According to the Independent, the 141-word message first appeared on Trump’s social media platform on May 18. He retweeted the exact same text on May 26 and again on Monday.
What did Trump say?
Trump argued in the post that even if Iran capitulated and effectively waved the “white flag,” some media outlets would characterize the outcome as an American defeat rather than a victory.
The president singled out publications such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, claiming they described the situation as “a masterful and brilliant victory for the United States of America.”
“Dumakrats and the media are completely lost,” Trump wrote in the post. “They are absolutely crazy!!!”
The news resurfaced on the same day that Iranian state media reported that Tehran had suspended peace talks with Washington, citing Israeli military operations in Lebanon as a major obstacle.
Reposted amid diplomatic setback
The latest retweets coincide with another setback in efforts to end a conflict that has fueled instability in the region and heightened concerns about global energy prices.
Trump also expressed frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone conversation, Axios reported. The outlet reported that Trump described Netanyahu as “fucking crazy” and suggested that Israel’s actions were damaging its international image.
