Trump posts bizarre 4-word message as US forces | Political News

President Donald Trump has seemingly misplaced the plot after posting a bizarre four-word post on Truth Social as U.S. forces race against Iranian forces to discover a lacking pilot from a fighter crash earlier in the day.

Taking to Truth Social, the president wrote, “Keep the oil, anyone?” without any context. The post was later reposted on a number of Republican-affiliated X accounts, where it drew hostile feedback.

“You were (America first ) and I, as an Afghan, like your love toward your country because that’s what also Afghans are, but then magically you moved to insanity, and you lost your respect.’ You said we should not be the police of the world, remember?” one particular person commented.”YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING!“

“This while we have a missing downed pilot,” a second particular person said.”No care for the armed forces. Nobody cares about keeping any oil right now you fuck. Talk about being fake. This guy.”

“Trump’s out here rambling about ‘finishing the job’ and dragging Iran ‘back to the Stone Ages’ while gas prices spike and the war drags on with no clear exit,” a third added. “Bro, if you’re this unhinged after a month of fighting, maybe it’s not Iran losing it’s you losing your grip. Mental breakdown in real time.”

Trump’s bizarre tweet comes as one pilot is still lacking after a U.S. Air Force fighter jet was struck down by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Friday. It was announced that one of the pilots has been safely rescued by allies.

U.S. forces hope to retrieve the still lacking crew member before Iran has the chance to seize and torture them. A sequence of newly launched images exhibits small items of an plane that the Iranian report claims is an F-35 stealth fighter.

However, the wreckage images seem to be from a U.S. Air Force-15 jet. A partial brand for “U.S. Air Forces in Europe” will be seen in the images on an F-15 tail fin and red-and-white striping from the top of the tail fin.

Another piece of wreckage — with the phrases “CAUTION USE ONLY NON-MAGNETIC FASTENERS” — seems to match a rear portion of an F-15 that extends between one of the 2 engines and its horizontal stabilizer. “From the structure it certainly looks like an F-15, and from the tail flash stripe markings, from the 48th Fighter Wing, based at RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom,” said Peter Layton, a fellow at the Griffith Asia Institute and former Royal Australian Air Force officer.

DON’T MISS

If Iran’s claims are true, the assault could be the first time since the start of the struggle that a U.S. jet was downed by enemy fire. According to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, President Trump has been briefed on the scenario.

The scenario has been additional aggravated by the Iranian state media, which has positioned bounties on the heads of the American pilots. “If you capture an enemy pilot or pilots and hand them over alive to the police or military forces, you will receive a valuable reward,” a presenter reportedly said, according to a translation.
