\n Donald Trump\u2019s latest forthright outburst<\/a> was made as part of his attempts to create a peace deal with Iran and Israel. \u201cI\u2019m not happy with Israel,\u201d he told reporters<\/a> on June 24. \u201cWe basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don\u2019t know what the fuck they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

This came a day after Trump had announced<\/a> a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. By the next day, the ceasefire had been violated<\/a> by both Iran and Israel. Trump was clearly furious, and his language showed it.<\/p>\n

This was not a verbal slip \u2013 there was no immediate correction, no apology, no nonverbal indication of embarrassment. He just stormed off, clearly angry.<\/p>\n

This is not the kind of language that is normally associated with a president. Some<\/a> have been reported to use the f-word before, but usually behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
