What triggered Donald Trump's 1 AM meltdown?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump was having a 1am meltdown as Iran responded with force after the United States struck a tanker that was trying to get past the U.S. blockade in the Persian Gulf. In addition, we saw massive escalation in Russia's war against Ukraine. Russia bombarding Kyiv with ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, and drones. And then we saw Ukraine responding with strikes on St. Petersburg and critical oil depots throughout Russia. Donald Trump, throughout all of this, was making social media posts like this. Trump 007 and it's some weird photo of him as like James Bond. That's what he was posting at 1 a.m. Donald Trump posted photos of himself with Whitney Houston from like the late 80s.

How did Iran respond to U.S. military actions?

Ben Meiselas 0:51
Whitney Houston and future president Donald J. Trump. He then posted this image, the greatest attraction, and it's him giving a speech to his cult.

What are the latest developments in Russia's war against Ukraine?

Ben Meiselas 1:00
He posted a weird image of Alfred E. Newman next to James Tallarico. And then they were also posting photos in the Oval Office. Not sure when the photos were taken of Donald Trump, Ken Paxton, Governor Abbott, and the Lieutenant Governor of Texas, all holding up photos of James Tallarico like they're little toddlers. No offense to little toddlers, but... There's real, real serious things taking place around the world, and this is how Donald Trump is behaving, this spiraling out of control at 1 a.m. Here's what we know took place. So the U.S. struck a ship attempting to run the blockade. The IRGC responded by attacking a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. then bombed Qashem Island, and then the IRGC attacked Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq.

Abraham Raze, an Iranian parliament leader, posted, Americans have shown that they understand the language of missiles better than the language of diplomats. Damn, the Navy and Aerospace Force kids of the IRGC are fired up. Here's more of what we learned. Iran launched massive ballistic and drone attacks striking the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, along with U.S. bases in Kuwait, Ali al-Sam, Arifajan, and an oil tanker near Dubai in response to new U.S. strikes on Qashem Island. an iranian oil tanker near the strait of hormuz per taznim which is iran's state media iran says it has officially abandoned its tit-for-tat retaliation now striking back at least 1.5 times as hard for every u.s attack with irgc warning that quote disrupting the security of the strait of hormuz will have a heavy price for the invading u.s military

So previously, during this fake ceasefire, the U.S. would strike an Iranian target, the Iranians would strike a similar target, and then they would kind of go back and forth.

What bizarre social media posts did Trump make during the crisis?

Ben Meiselas 3:05
Now Iran's saying, we're not going to play these games anymore. If you keep on violating the ceasefire, we are going to unleash a force that is multiples of what you are expecting, and we're going to show that we're fine going back to war. That's what you want to do, Donald. if you want to go back to war you know marco rubio said we're not at war anymore just think about rubio telegraphing the weakness there by saying the war is over it's all done and iran's like you are doing this fake ceasefire where you have israel invading lebanon where you're out there striking our targets, and we're just not gonna play this game anymore. So we're gonna strike air bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. We're gonna go after tankers that we know have a high degree of sensitivity to the United States.
Ben Meiselas 3:53
One of the tankers that they just struck in the latest salvo of these open hostilities was a tanker belonging to an oil magnate who's very close to Donald Trump, and they targeted that specific tanker on purpose, knowing that the owner had a close relationship with Donald Trump. And then the United States CENTCOM claims, oh, we were able to strike down all of the drones and ballistic missiles, and none of them reached their targets. But we actually have video footage again, and we see what was actually going down. We see footage of a Patriot interceptor that was also failing just after launching. during the Iranian attack and the Patriot Interceptor, you'll see it's like going for the target, then it actually goes and it strikes an area over here in Kuwait.
