Trump Absurdly Claims Hamas Terrorists Are ‘Pouring’ Into The US And Blames Obama

According to disgraced and failed former president Donald Trump, Hamas terrorists are streaming into the United States across the U.S.-Mexico border, and former president Barack Obama is to blame.

Here’s a post Trump made today on his financially-troubled Truth Social site:

“The same people that raided Israel are pouring into our once beautiful USA, through our TOTALLY OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER, at Record Numbers. Are they planning an attack within our Country? Crooked Joe Biden and his BOSS, Barack Hussein Obama, did this to us!”

The people “pouring” across the border are from Mexico and Central America, and they’re seeking economic opportunity. They’re not trying to carry out terrorist attacks on the United States.

What Trump is really trying to do is distract from a very damning fact that directly implicates him and his administration in possibly funding Iran and Hamas by allowing the sale of $6 billion of Iranian oil.

The New York Times notes:

As part of the deal in question, the U.S. facilitated the transfer of $6 billion of Iranian profits from oil sales from banks in South Korea to Qatar so that Iran could use it for food and other humanitarian purposes.

But that $6 billion is not U.S. taxpayer money, as Mr. Trump and others, including Vivek Ramaswamy, another of the Republican presidential candidates, falsely stated. Nor is there evidence that the money, which officials have said is subject to Treasury Department oversight, was used to finance the attacks.

What Hamas has done to Israel is disgusting and an act of horrific barbarism. They deserve to be punished for killing innocent civilians. And if Iran played a role in the attacks, they too should have to pay a price that will be determined by Israel and her allies.

Fear is all Trump has left. He’s terrified that his numerous indictments will send him to prison for the rest of his life and his only hope is to win in 2024 and try to weasel his way out of his crimes.
