As the U.S. braced for Iran’s next move in the Middle East, President Donald Trump rambled on social media with a bizarre post where he invoked the “N word” but meant nuclear and referred to Vladimir Putin as “THE BOSS.”
“Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The post and a series of others fired off on Monday suggested the president was watching television and posting about it in real time amid escalating conflicts around the world.
“Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY.” Trump continued.
The president then wrote that the “‘N word’ should not be treated so casually. I guess that’s why Putin’s ‘THE BOSS.’”

Medvedev responded on social media on Monday that Russia has no intention of supplying nuclear weapons to Iran.
The 79-year-old president’s strange post did not stop there.
It suddenly switched gears as the president went on to praise U.S. military might, but the post could also be read potentially as a veiled threat to anyone who might cross the U.S.
“By the way, if anyone thinks our ‘hardware’ was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines,” the president wrote.
“They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly," he continued.
Trump was referring to the nuclear submarine that took part in the strike on Iran on Saturday.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said during a press conference early on Sunday that a submarine in the region launched more than two-dozen missiles against Iranian targets in Isfahan on Saturday.
The submarine strikes took place just before U.S. aircraft entered Iran to carry out the strikes on nuclear facilities.
Trump finished his post by thanking the submarine captain and crew as well as the pilots who took place in Saturday’s strike.
