Donald Trump ripped into Iran and Israel for violating a ceasefire deal within hours of his triumphant announcement.

“You basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing! Do you understand that?” he told reporters Tuesday morning on his way to the NATO summit in The Hague.

      His obsession with the Nobel peace price is really what’s driving all this. He’s been willing to do deals nobody else would make just to get that recognition, and it’s ironically inflaming more conflict.

          This is why he’s in the white house and we’re not /s

        Nah, it’s much more simple than even that: he’s just a malignant narcissist and a colossal idiot who happens to have a talent for grifting*. Everything he’s ever done has been because of that combo.

        *ETA: as well as the wealth and connections to play life on story mode from day one, of course

        If he wanted a Nobel peace prize he should have just committed genocide. That’s what most of the others did.
