Anyone reading the comments on Trump’s video about the killing operation in Yemen would be stunned.
The president of the most powerful country in the world, owner of the most influential account on the “X” platform with over 102 million followers, used his account to publicly shame himself!
Ninety-nine percent of the replies and comments on the video labeled it a scandal and immediately recognized that the victims were civilians.
As for the remaining 1% of supportive comments—possibly even less—they came from Mohammed Al-Arab, Muammar Al-Eryani, Saudi trolls, and a handful of officials.
What happened to Trump that led him to make such a monumental mistake?
Did his advisors fail him? Or did he do it unknowingly, making a blunder as dramatic as Pharaoh’s, when he gathered the magicians and his people in a grand, public spectacle to assert his superiority over Moses and prove he was the stronger—while Moses was just a sorcerer?
But once the confrontation began, Pharaoh found himself in deep trouble, having inadvertently exposed the truth with his own hands and offered Moses a golden opportunity on a silver platter. He then realized he was driven by a higher, unseen force—and that he had no control over what had unfolded.
Trump—the Pharaoh of our time—did the same, unknowingly, led by a strange divine orchestration.
Trump’s post became a global referendum on the legitimacy of Yemen’s operations, and Yemen gained overwhelming, near-unanimous support.
Yet we can’t overlook one absurd comment on Trump’s post that forces you to laugh in disbelief: the ridiculous remark by Mohammed Al-Arab.
This “Mohammed” who is far from praiseworthy, and this “Arab” who is far from being Arab, offered Trump—via a comment in English—to help spread his so-called “sensitive” videos. He claimed his account was large and influential in Yemen and offered it for Trump’s use!
The audacity and degradation—I’m not even sure how to describe them. I’m convinced they stem from a state of constant intoxication and delusion that he and others like him live in.
He is like an ant offering her services to help an elephant, showing eagerness to mate with him and surrender her… burrow!
Let’s set aside this fool and others like him.
From the thousands of comments I read, I truly felt that the whole world had become Yemeni in sentiment—fiercely defending Yemen and adopting its humanitarian position, forming a rare global public opinion.
This isn’t flowery language—Trump’s tweet exists, the comments are there, and anyone can go and read them.
