Epic fury consumes Trump as ‘COWARD’ NATO allies refuse to join the Iran war

Not long ago, NATO chief had called him ‘Daddy.’ The Brits had flattered him with two state visits. And seven European leaders had come pleading for a reprieve for embattled Ukraine.

And yet now they wouldn’t join the fight to stop a “Nuclear Powered Iran” or “want to help open the Strait of Hormuz,” to keep the world’s oil flowing, fumed Donald Trump branding them “COWARDS” with an ominous warning, “and we will REMEMBER!”

“Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER!” he posted on Truth Social chiding them for complaining about the high oil prices they are forced to pay “now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them.”




Hours later in another post Friday, Trump said he was considering “winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran” as the U.S. was “getting very close to meeting our objectives.”

He pledged to “protecting, at the highest level, our Middle Eastern Allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others,” but warned “The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not!”

“If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated,” said Trump grandly. “Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them.”

His Truth Social post came shortly after telling reporters that he wasn’t interested in a cease-fire because “You know, you don’t do a cease-fire when you’re literally obliterating the other side.”

The change in tune came even as U.S. officials said they were ramping up aerial assaults against Iranian drones and naval vessels in an effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and the Treasury Department lifted sanctions on some Iranian oil.

But days after he slammed the NATO alliance as “a one way street,” with a “but we will REMEMBER!” warning, UK Friday agreed to allow the U.S. to use British bases to launch strikes on Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz.

Even as Britain agreed to an expansion of the targets to help protect ships in the strait still on the basis of “collective self-defence,” Trump complained the UK “should have acted a lot faster.”

Earlier, at a White House meeting with Japan’s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, Trump breaking another taboo joked about Japan’s 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

Asked why he didn’t tell some U.S. allies about his plans to attack Iran, Trump replied, “Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor.”

Trump also lashed out at Iran for “‘feeding’ the very appreciative Fake News Media false information” as Iran Military posted an AI-generated video showing Trump standing on a roadside with his thumb out while holding a piece of cardboard with the plea “Help Me! Open Hormuz!” A succession of world leaders drive past him laughing and singing “Row, row, row your boat.”

Since the start of the war on Feb. 28, the Commander-in-Chief has offered a ring side view with a drone by drone commentary with nearly 90 Truth Social posts about war-related topics, according to a Wall Street Journal count. More than a dozen of such messages went up between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

And Trump himself picked up ‘Epic Fury’ as the name of the military operation against Iran after being given “like, 20 names, and I’m like, falling asleep,” before getting the one that woke him up, as he told supporters at a rally in Kentucky.

“Epic Fury captures the Trump presidency in its essence,” suggested the New York Times calling it “a quintessentially Trumpian choice for the name of a war.”

“This is in a way the Anger Presidency,” it said with anger defining Trump’s decade on the political stage. Anger at everyone who crosses him from disloyal allies to journalists to the Supreme Court.

In the past week, he attacked the “truly sick and demented people” in the media over headlines about the war that he didn’t like, and a “Wacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control Judge” for not allowing him to investigate “this absolutely terrible Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell.”

Trump didn’t even spare the now not so friendly Supreme Court for denying him victory on the “decision that mattered most to me – TARIFFS!”

“Our Country was unnecessarily RANSACKED by the United States Supreme Court, which has become little more than a weaponized and unjust Political Organization,” he complained bemoaning, “All I can do, as President, is call them out for their bad behavior!”

His statement about the top court “will cause me nothing but problems in the future, but I feel it is my obligation to speak the TRUTH,” said Trump.

Amid the ongoing war with Iran, Trump who has made no secret of his desire to effect regime change in Cuba, declared he believes he’ll have “the honor of taking Cuba,” saying he “can do anything” he wants with the nation.

Meanwhile, a federal commission consisting solely of Trump-appointed members voted to approve a 24-carat commemorative gold coin depicting the president in honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States after weeks of ‘jokes’ about his wish to “take credit” for the celebration.

And it was business as usual at the Oval Office, where Trump signed a quirky executive order blocking other college football games from airing during his favorite Army-Navy game even at the risk of getting sued for running afoul of the First Amendment.

But the baulking allies’ resistance to Iran war came as a stark reminder that his wish may not be always their command!
