Donald Trump’s attack on the president of Ireland in front of Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin in the Oval Office hit a rough patch on Tuesday afternoon.As the president jumped from topic to topic, he was pressed about comments made by the Irish president who stated, “The normalization of war can never be accepted. Now, more than ever, we must renew our commitment to peace and diplomacy in line with the principles of international law as set out in the United Nations charter.”On Tuesday, Trump was asked, “Mr. President, the Irish president has said that the war against Iran is illegal. It's an attack on international law.”‘"Who said that?” the 79-year-old Trump asked.“The Irish president,” was the reply. After a pause, he sneered, “Okay, he's lucky I exist" — seemingly unaware that the Irish President is a woman, Catherine Connolly, who has served since her inauguration in November 2025."That's all I can say, because if you're going to allow countries that are sick and demented and they are demented to have nuclear weapons, everybody in the whole world should be very thankful and I'm disappointed in NATO, very disappointed,” the president griped.Continuing to complain, he added, “I'm disappointed in a couple of other countries too, but they should be very thankful that this group of people feels the way we do, because if a country like Iran was allowed to have the power of a nuclear weapon, if we didn't stop them, I stopped them twice.”“I stopped them my first term, when I terminated the Iran nuclear deal, which was Barack Obama's deal, it was one of maybe the worst deals I've ever seen. It gave everything to Iran, including billions of dollars in green cash,” he insisted. - YouTube youtu.be
