Trump mocked for Iran airstrike in a private WhatsApp group filled with authoritarian leaders — that’s the latest embarrassment for the former U.S. president. The group, AuthoritariansRus, reportedly ridiculed Trump’s recent military action in Iran, claiming it was weak and unimpressive.
The mocking started when user rocketman_3432 said, “I’ve seen bigger strikes on the Japanese Sea.” This comment triggered laughter from Russian leader Putes, who added, “If my intelligence guys failed like that, I’d throw them out the window from the 20th floor.” The Trump mocked for Iran airstrike moment gained traction as Trump angrily fired back in all caps with a crude message.
Desperate to defend himself, Trump sent satellite images of the airstrike. But bb countered with more graphic destruction photos, saying, “This is how you use weapons.” The chat, created in 2019 after Trump’s North Korea visit, has become a digital locker room for authoritarian leaders to swap memes and measure their military power.
