Trump labeled ‘unhinged’ as bizarre footage shows him issuing severe ‘danger’ warning to journalist
President Donald Trump sparked backlash after a tense interview where he warned a reporter they were “in danger” just for speaking with him. The comment came during a discussion about escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, as Trump considers U.S. involvement in the conflict. He criticized his intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard for suggesting Iran isn’t pursuing nuclear weapons and reiterated his belief that Iran is close to building one. Trump said he’ll make a decision in the next two weeks, and emphasized the threat by claiming reporters were in danger due to their proximity to him, prompting social media backlash.
Despite criticism, some defended Trump’s remarks as referring to threats against his own safety. He claimed Iran has amassed enough nuclear material to be a danger within weeks, and said the U.S. must act. Meanwhile, press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed all military options are under consideration, and Trump’s top priority is preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. He left the G7 summit early, issued evacuation warnings for Tehran, and reportedly approved possible strike actions. Trump also reiterated his position on Truth Social, declaring, “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” and said his patience with Iran had run out.
