Trump mysteriously deletes Truth Social post minutes after warning of imminent Putin attack
Donald Trump caused confusion on Wednesday afternoon after deleting a Truth Social post about a phone call with Vladimir Putin - only to repost it again about an hour later. The post remained visible on the White House X account throughout, but vanished from his Truth Social page for just over an hour. Trump said that he spoke on the phone with Putin for about an hour and 15 minutes, speaking about the recent attacks in the Russia-Ukraine war . Trump said "it was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace."

The post has now been reposted to Trump's Truth Social (Image: Truth Social) Trump added that the two also discussed Iran. "I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides," the post read. "It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields. We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran's decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement," the post continued. "President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwaking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a ver short period of time!" the post concluded. The call, confirmed by both Trump and the Kremlin, followed Ukraine's dramatic launch of Operation Spider Web. The mission was a long-range, AI-guided drone offensive that destroyed or damaged at least 41 Russian military aircraft, according to Kyiv's intelligence services. Targets included strategic bombers such as Tu-95s, Tu-160s, and Tu-22s, aircraft capable of carrying nuclear payloads. The strikes, which reached deep into Russian territory, have been hailed in Ukraine as a strategic triumph. But in Moscow, the embarrassment has boiled over into fury. In a video conference with top Russian officials, Putin denounced Ukraine's attacks as 'terrorist acts,' pointing specifically to recent sabotage operations on railway lines in Russia's Kursk and Bryansk regions. He warned that conditions were not good to peace negotiations, suggesting instead that Ukraine was stalling to rearm and regroup. 'How can any such (summit) meetings be conducted in such circumstances? What shall we talk about?' he asked. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy swiftly responded, calling Russia's proposed ceasefire terms 'an ultimatum' and branding the Istanbul negotiations as 'artificial diplomacy.'

Trump Brags About Shielding Putin, And It's Not Going Over Well On Social Media
Donald Trump may have intended to criticize Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday for 'playing with fire,' but many people on social media thought it read more like a confession. The president took to his Truth Social media platform to declare that Putin 'doesn't realize that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD.' Trump added that, as a result, the Russian leader is 'playing with fire!' Although it wasn't clear if Trump was referring to imposing harsher sanctions against Russia because of its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the post came days after the president criticized Putin for his recent drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian civilians. The Trump administration apparently thought enough of his tough-talking post to share it on the White House X account. Many people on social media, however, thought the president may have inadvertently been confessing he's been in bed with Putin the whole time.

Mark Hamill Has a Bold Response to Donald Trump's AI 'Star Wars' Photo
believes he's dealing with yet another Sith Lord. Following 's recent Star Wars-inspired AI photo posted on social media, the 73-year-old actor who starred in the famous film franchise called out the major detail from the movies that was overlooked in the president's fake photo. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 As seen in the pic posted to the White House X account, Trump, 78, could be seen holding a red lightsaber, which, as Star Wars fans know all too well, symbolizes the Dark Side of the Force. The red lightsabers are mainly wielded by the evil Sith Lords, while the Jedi, like Hamill's character Luke Skywalker, often have blue, green or sometimes even purple lightsabers. In response to the president's photo, Hamill took to the social media platform Bluesky to write, "Proof this guy is full of SITH." Hamill wasn't the only one to notice the mistake in the post from the White House, which slammed the "Radical Left Lunatics" for "fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners" and more "back into our Galaxy." The sentiment seemed to lose its meaning when the president was seen wielding the lightsaber exclusively used by the evil characters, deflating his own argument by symbolizing himself as part of the Dark Side. "'We are not the bad guys' Dude, you are holding a red lightsaber.." one user wrote on Bluesky. "This alone should get him impeached." someone else quipped. "Mark Hamill condemning this is the equivalent to the Vatican condemning the other photo. May the force be with us, always," another user added. Next:

'Give me a break': Trump brushes off Catholic backlash over AI Pope image
Donald Trump has dismissed criticism over an AI-generated image depicting him as the Pope, saying the backlash is being fuelled by the 'fake news media' rather than Catholics themselves. The US president shared the image on his Truth Social platform, where it was later reposted by the official White House X account. The image showed Trump in full papal attire, including a white cassock and bishop's mitre, and was posted during the official nine-day mourning period for Pope Francis, who died on 21 April. The conclave to elect his successor is due to begin Wednesday. Asked by a reporter about Catholic backlash, Trump said: "Ohh, I see. You mean, they can't take a joke? You don't mean the Catholics, you mean the fake news media. The Catholics loved it." He went on to brush aside concerns about the timing of the image, joking: "Maybe it was AI... my wife thought it was cute. Actually, I would not be able to be married \[if I were the Pope]! It's the fake news media - they're fakers." — EricLDaugh (@EricLDaugh) When pressed on whether sharing such content from the official White House account diminishes its credibility, Trump snapped: "Give me a break. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scarlett Johansson, 40, Shows Off Her Real Size In A New Vacation Photos 33 Bridges Undo Somebody did it in fun." The image sparked outrage among Catholic groups and Italian commentators. The New York State Catholic Conference said, "There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President… Do not mock us." Italy's La Repubblica accused Trump of "pathological megalomania," while former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi called the post 'shameful.' Despite the outcry, Trump's allies rallied to his defence. Far-right commentator Jack Posobiec, a practising Catholic, dismissed the uproar as lacking humour, writing: "We've all been making jokes about the upcoming Pope selection all week." Trump had joked just days earlier about becoming Pope himself: "I'd like to be pope. That would be my number one choice." His allies, including Senator Lindsey Graham, even played along, suggesting Trump as a 'dark horse candidate.'
