'Daddy's not home': Fury erupts as Trump goes quiet after Iran shoots down US fighter jet

04/03/26 7:22 PM

An American's whereabouts were unknown on Friday after Iran shot down a U.S. fighter jet, as questions mounted online over what happened to the missing service member and if the Trump administration would comment on it. President Donald Trump had not yet responded to the attack, which was the first time an American jet had been shot down since the military strikes launched five weeks ago. It was unknown what had happened to the missing pilot. The president has apparently been briefed on the situation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN. Iran was reportedly offering its citizens a reward valued at about $76,000 U.S. dollars to find the pilot alive, CNN reported. People reacted online and called out the Trump administration for the dangerous situation. "Donald Trump had time to take Tiger Woods' call after he crashed his car again, but I don't see him addressing the American people after a U.S. fighter jet was shot down in Iran and there's a desperate search to find the pilots. I guess daddy's not home today," entrepreneur and Democratic strategist Mike Nellis wrote on X."Are they briefing Trump on the fighter jet being shot down, or just soothing him with boom boom TikToks?" Journalist Aaron Rupar wrote on X."Early reports from Iranian media suggesting US pilot in custody. Would take this with a large grain of salt, and hope it’s not the case. As it would be a significant escalation," Adam Cochran, professor, policy consultant and journalist, wrote on X."The escalation is why Trump will do if they have an American in custody. You don’t have to think the US actions there, were good or justified, in order to recognize that an American POW complicates the situation, and makes off-ramps less likely," Cochran added."These two things, I can’t help but read them together. Trump, threatening war crimes, and now, a possible POW. This stupid, bad-faith behavior puts our people at greater risk of mistreatment. Praying for the safety of our soldiers at all levels," John Jackson, U.S. veteran of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wrote on X."Really really hope this doesn’t become a hostage situation," political scientist and author Ian Bremmer wrote on X."Iran ministry of foreign relations has put out at least one statement indicating us soldiers will be regarded as prisoners of war under geneva convention…but only if the united states reciprocated. secretary of defense pete hegseth has said 'no quarter, no mercy' for us enemies," Bremmer added later in a separate X post."You’re absolutely right — the correct term is POW. Let’s just hope Iran sees it that way — considering Trump has said repeatedly that it’s NOT a war," Democratic strategist Jon Cooper wrote in response to a comment on an X post.

'He is so jealous': Trump brutally mocked for repeating false claim about Osama Bin Laden

04/06/26 8:54 PM

The internet erupted on Monday after President Donald Trump tried to take credit for a military operation that killed the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks on the United States — which Trump did not actually lead. Trump was speaking about the Iran war during a high-stakes press conference at the White House when he made the claim that he was behind the death of Osama bin Laden, the founder and leader of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda. "I did one other, but this one was not picked up: Osama bin Laden," Trump said. "If you read my book, I said you got to take him out, one year before the World Trade Center came down. So I wish you'd read the book," he added. But Trump had not ordered the killing of bin Laden. During former President Barack Obama's presidency, from 2009 to 2017, the leader of the terrorist group was a high-priority target for U.S. military and intelligence agencies. U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six killed bin Laden on May 2, 2011 during a raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, an operation that took place under Obama's administration.People had reactions to Trump's unfounded comments on social media: "Trump now claiming credit for killing Osama Bin Laden. He is so jealous of Barack Obama," progressive news reporter Alex Cole wrote on X."He didn’t kill Osama Bin Laden obviously. And as @ddale8 has repeatedly pointed out, he never issued a Bin Laden warning in his 2000 book. It’s totally made up by him and he keeps repeating it and the assembled reporters let him. Sigh. Our media is broken," Mehdi Hasan, founder and CEO of news outlet Zeteo, wrote on X."Delusional liar," White House columnist and podcast host Brian Karem wrote on X."Just an absolutely [SIC] lunatic at this point," army combat veteran and Democratic Missouri congressional candidate, wrote on X."25th Amendment time. Past time," Norman Ornstein, political scientist and contributing editor to The Atlantic, wrote on X.25th Amendment time. Past time. https://t.co/MVLLZqCHW8— Norman Ornstein (@NormOrnstein) April 6, 2026

'He's going to drop a nuke': Fear as Trump threat leaves details vague

04/06/26 7:07 PM

President Donald Trump issued a serious threat for Iran on Monday, prompting shocked reactions online. Trump was speaking during a White House press conference when he made the unsettling comment referring to the ongoing conflict. "The entire country could be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night," he said. The internet was quick to react."He's going to drop a nuke isn't he," user Elena, retired academic health care worker and liberal commentator, wrote on Bluesky."This is a travesty. He is completely incapable of serving as President," user Mel, who self-describes as a psychologist, wrote on Bluesky. "Trump shouldn't have nuclear codes for the same reason that arsonists shouldn't have gasoline cans and flamethrowers," Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of Campaign for New York Health, wrote on X. "He's gonna use a nuclear weapon folks. That's a major war crime. Invoke the 25th now," progressive political commentator Sam K. wrote on X. "Drunk on power and committing war crimes," user Max, who self-describes as a fund manager and Iraq war veteran, wrote on X. President Donald Trump speaks during a press conference in the James S.

'Keep that a secret': General jumps in to stop Trump blurting out classified intel

04/06/26 6:37 PM

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Dan Caine was forced to step in to prevent President Donald Trump from disclosing classified war plans.During a press conference about the rescue of two U.S. airmen in Iran on Monday, Trump was asked if all of his military advisers had agreed about the mission."No, there were military people, very professional, that preferred not doing it," the president admitted about the ultimately successful rescue attempt after two jets were shot down over Iran. "This whole thing is militarized like nobody's ever seen before. Half the people are wearing uniforms.""Somebody said it's the only time it's ever been done. I said, that's not possible. But it is possible. Because you're going into hundreds of thousands of soldiers along the path. I mean, look at some of the helicopters, how they got hit," he continued.Trump moved to disclose the number of troops deployed in the rescue mission before Caine stopped him."How many men did you send altogether? Approximately for the operation?" Trump asked the general."I'd love to keep that a secret," Caine advised."But I will tell you, the number, I'll keep it a secret," Trump replied. "But it was hundreds, and hundreds of these people, that's pretty good.""Is he central casting?" the president said of Caine.

'Shocked!' Financial pundit says Trump's speech 'triggered' 60-cent gas price spike

04/02/26 3:45 PM

MAGA financial pundit Eric Bolling revealed that President Donald Trump's Wednesday night address to the nation had likely "triggered" a 60-cent spike in gas prices.During a Thursday interview on the War Room podcast, Bolling said he had been giving MAGA influencer Steve Bannon updates on the oil market as Trump was speaking about the war in Iran.Bolling noted that oil was trading at "$98 a barrel" before Trump started speaking."It really didn't move very much during the speech. I kept updating you. When he talked about the part where he said, we're going to send them back to the Stone Ages, I think that triggered something because that's really where it started to tick up to $99 a barrel, $100 a barrel," he recalled. "When he finished, I think traders were hoping to hear some sort of legitimate off-ramp, and it just spiked 101, 101, 102, 103, 105, 107, 108 or so.""This morning I got up, Steve, and I was just shocked. $11, $12 a barrel, that's $13, $14 a barrel higher," he said. "Unfortunately, that turns into about a 60, 70 cent move up on the pump price just on the overnight alone, what it did overnight."
