Trump Goes OFF on Russian Official ‘Throwing Around the N Word (Nuclear!)’ While Praising Putin as ‘THE BOSS’
President Donald Trump mocked former Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Monday for suggesting other nations will arm Iran with nuclear weapons following the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.
Medvedev, who now serves as Deputy Chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin, took to X to ostensibly reveal what he sees as the results and consequences of the U.S. attack on Iran, which counts Russia as a military ally.
“What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?” Medvedev asked rhetorically, before answering his question in a 10-part thread, which included an assertion that “a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.”
Trump addressed this not-so-veiled threat in a manner that both ridiculed Medvedev’s comments, but also found space to praise Putin as “THE BOSS.” Trump posted on Truth Social late Monday morning:
Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The “N word” should not be treated so casually. I guess that’s why Putin’s “THE BOSS.” By the way, if anyone thinks our “hardware” was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines. They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!
Trump’s casual comments about the threat of nuclear war are best evidenced by his comment, “If he did say that, and if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY.” However, some will certainly read that less as a serious threat and more as his standard performative and facetious style. Nonetheless, no sitting president has ever been so cavalier to suggest nuclear escalation in such a manner, especially in a social media post.
