Iran launched a missile attack on Israel on Tuesday, plunging the war-torn region into a new layer of conflict. But one American politician quickly made the violence about himself.

Moments after the strike, Donald Trump turned to Truth Social to suck up all the social credits available from the provocation in the Middle East.

“Look at the world today – look at the missiles flying in the Middle East now, look at what is happening with Russia/Ukraine, look at the inflation that is destroying the world,” Trump wrote in a post. “NONE OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PRESIDENT!”

In another post, Trump labeled the conflict “TOTAL PREVENTABLE.”

“IT NEVER HAPPENED,” Trump said. “IF I WERE PRESIDENT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN!”

While it is impossible to say exactly how a Trump presidency would have addressed the progressive, devastating fallout from the October 7 attack in Israel, Trump has not exactly been on the side of peace. Instead, he has claimed that Israel will face “total annihilation” if he is not elected in November, has openly questioned the faith of Jewish Americans if they do not support him over Vice President Kamala Harris, and encouraged the Jewish state to “finish what they started.”

Meanwhile, some members of Trump’s inner circle, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner, have been extremely vocal about the multi-faceted conflict, urging Israel to continue escalating violence against its neighbors.

“Anyone who has called for a ceasefire in the north is wrong. There is no way 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 wrote on X on Saturday.

The Republican presidential candidate also drew criticism from some of his supporters last month when he hosted Qatari leaders at his Palm Beach resort, with some potential MAGA voters labeling the Middle Eastern leaders as anti-Semitic for their country’s role in moderating of the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Israel. Hamas.

To date, the Ministry of Health in Gaza has recorded more than 41,500 deaths as a result of the cataclysmic conflict in which Israel has weaponized mass starvation and blocked or destroyed access to crucial resources such as water, food, fuel, electricity and medical aid.
