As tensions escalate in the Middle East following Hezbollah's rocket attacks on Israel, Former President Donald Trump has weighed in on the situation through his social media platform, Truth Social.
Trump's commentary focused on criticizing the current administration's response to the crisis. He questioned the negotiation leadership, asking, "Who is negotiating for us in the Middle East?" The former president painted a chaotic picture, stating that "Bombs are dropping all over the place!"
In his characteristic style, Trump used nicknames to refer to key political figures. He claimed that "Sleepy Joe" was "sleeping on a Beach in California, viciously exiled by the Democrats." He also mentioned "Comrade Kamala" being on a campaign bus tour with "Tampon Tim."
Trump concluded his message with a stark warning about the potential for further escalation, stating, "Let's not have World War III, because that's where we're heading!"

Tensions along the northern border dramatically escalated Sunday morning after Hezbollah launched a barrage of approximately 200 rockets and missiles toward Israeli territory. The Lebanese terrorist group officially declared that the attack was in retaliation for the recent assassination of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr. Israel responded with strikes in Lebanon and called an emergency meeting of top security officials to address the rapidly unfolding situation.

In the aftermath of VP Kamala Harris's speech at the Democratic National Convention, Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, with a pointed attack. "SHE HATES ISRAEL," the Republican presidential nominee wrote. "Wouldn't even show up to Congress for Netanyahu's session!," adding, "She caused the attack of October 7."
