Trump Feigns Ignorance.
US Bombs Iran's Gas Field. Blames Israel.
So let me get this shit sandwich straight. Donald Trump, the 79 year old sundowning real estate failson who said he’d end wars and lower fuel prices, just approved an Israeli airstrike on the largest natural gas field on planet Earth.
Iran retaliated by blowing up Qatar’s main LNG hub. And now Trump’s on Truth Social at 10pm pretending he knew nothing about it. Writing in the third person like a deranged king dictating a scroll to his court scribe while the castle burns behind him. Mate. Axios reported, with confirmation from a US Defence official, that the strike was coordinated with and approved by the Trump administration. Netanyahu and Trump discussed it beforehand. The Israeli PM’s office and the White House planned it together. Hours earlier, Trump himself was doing a fucking victory lap on the same platform, posting that Iran was “the NUMBER ONE STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR” and “we are rapidly putting them out of business.” That’s a bloke standing over the body with the knife still in his hand going “never met the guy.”
But then Iran hit Qatar. Missiles into Ras Laffan Industrial City. Extensive damage. Fires. The largest LNG processing hub on earth, and it’s got holes in it now because Donald Trump thought he was playing Command and Conquer with real countries. And suddenly, the guy who greenlighted the whole operation doesn’t know anything about anything. He’s got the memory of a goldfish with a head injury. Except he doesn’t. He remembers exactly what happened. He just can’t admit it. Because like all toxic fucking malignant narcissists, now he’s even trying to throw Israel under the bus because he’s realising he has completely, catastrophically, cataclysmically fucked up. Bigly.
