Trump Makes Goofiest Possible Announcement Amid Worsening Global Tensions: 'It Is A GIFT'
HuffPost
The president says it his "Great Honor" to unveil the surprise at the White House on Wednesday, while Israel and Iran continue to escalate their conflict.
President Donald Trump appears to have far more pressing matters on his mind than the globally precarious conflict between Israel and Iran, and made an announcement Tuesday on his Truth Social platform that left untold social media users in genuine shock.
“It is my Great Honor to announce that I will be putting up two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House, North and South Lawns,” the president declared. “It is a GIFT from me of something which was always missing from this magnificent place.”
“These are the most magnificent poles made - They are tall, tapered, rust proof, rope inside the pole, and of the highest quality,” added Trump in the evening post. “Hopefully they will proudly stand at both sides of the White House for many years to come!”
The announcement came mere hours after Trump demanded the “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after Israel deployed warplanes and drones Friday to kill Iranian officials, prompting retaliatory strikes from Iran.
The escalating violence not only threatens to further destabilize the Middle East after nearly two years of Israel’s brutal military campaign in Gaza, but has prompted some GOP lawmakers, such as Rep. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), to openly call for U.S. involvement.
