Donald Trump has gone mute on Sunday as his unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran rages on, engulfing the entire Middle East and the rest of the world. Donald Trump is silent. Donald Trump hasn't made any social media posts since yesterday. He's golfing all day. He's wandering around his Palm Beach golf club or he's in Mar-a-Lago. He's taking photographs with people, making them clap for him. He's taking so-called executive time. He's doing a fundraiser for his pro-Trump super PAC called MAGA Inc. as the war has reached newer heights of catastrophic levels. You have the leaders in Iran, like Ali Larrajani, who runs their National Security Council. He's their main advisor in their National Security Council.

He's making posts like this this morning as Donald Trump is silent and vacationing. Larrajani writes, I've heard that the remaining members of Epstein's network have devised a conspiracy to create an incident similar to 9-11 and blame Iran for it. Iran fundamentally opposes such terrorist schemes and has no war with the American people. That's what the Iranian propaganda looks like. as Donald Trump is silent and in hiding, and at Mar-a-Lago, which was the site that Epstein used in some instances to engage in child sex trafficking. For example, Virginia Giuffre, an underage girl who was sex trafficked by Epstein, she was working at Mar-a-Lago. Then Donald Trump's like, Epstein took my property. He took her from me.

That's what happens when you have a morally compromised, literally and figuratively bankrupt individual in the Oval Office. This is the result when you have a criminal, a predator, and a lifelong loser in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, you look at what's happening in the Middle East where they're basically saying, we can't rely on the United States ever again. Iran is more reliable than the United States. I mean, don't believe me.

Why has Donald Trump gone silent during the ongoing war?

Just take a look at what the big buyers of oil from the Middle East are saying. So as Reuters reports, when Saudi Aramco told its oil buyers in a letter this week that it had no clear idea which port it would use for April exports, it laid bare a new reality. Iran, not the United States, holds the key to reopening the global energy market. The letter, sent to Saudi oil buyers around the world, said they might receive oil from the Red Sea, but they might still get it from the Gulf. Quote, I might as well call Iran to find out when this war ends so I can get my oil, one regular Saudi oil buyer said upon receiving the letter, as war raged across the Gulf and Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz. And that's how a lot of people feel at this point.

that iran's the one dictating when this war ends not donald trump ranting and raving like a lunatic and then taking his executive time weekends where he golfs and goes silent and then makes social media posts that are utterly deranged and frankly are war crimes like when donald trump said we have lots of fun bombing the karg islands right that's what donald trump called in or told nbc we're having fun with this I mean, what a horrific and despicable thing to say. Meanwhile, Iran continues to target the Arab nations with American interests. Just overnight, you had combined Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks against Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, of course, into Israel as well.
Ben Meiselas 4:29
Just take a look as well, you have the Lebanese-based Hezbollah firing into central Israel and northern Israel. They're getting bombarded more than ever. To be clear, the United States and Israel are hitting Iran very hard, hitting military installations, also hitting civilian installations as well.
