In a social-media message, President Donald Trump says he has "lost it" and that his "patience is over," while expressing hope that all parties including himself will sit around a table and, using the idiom 'eat the hat' — admit a mistake or accept an outcome. The post describes the situation as "a bit crazy and delusional." The remarks add to recent reports of Trump's frustration with developments in the Middle East.
President Donald Trump posted a message on social media Sunday afternoon expressing personal frustration and calling for dialogue. The post, written in Hebrew and circulating via Israeli channels, reads: "Trump lost it: I hope he is on temporary insanity with all our love... My patience is over... I hope we all, including me, sit around the table and eat the hat (admit a mistake) because everything happening around is a bit crazy and delusional."
The idiom 'eat the hat' (נאכל את הכובע) is a Hebrew expression for admitting one was wrong or accepting an unwelcome outcome — not the English 'take off one's hat' (admiration). The message appears to be addressed to an unspecified party, though it follows a series of reports in recent weeks about Trump's growing impatience with the pace of Middle East talks, particularly regarding Iran. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, a senior American official said Trump was "losing patience" and that the US appeared headed toward violent assaults on Iran's infrastructure. The current post, while informal, reinforces the theme of frustration.
The source is a single social-media message; no official confirmation or context has been provided by the White House. The tone and content remain unverified beyond the circulating text.
