Trump Says He Has No Idea What Happened To Weapons the U.S. Sent To Be Used in Iran: 'I'm Not Happy'

May 1st, 2026, 8:53 pm


President Donald Trump said he is “not happy” after weapons the U.S. supposedly delivered were not used against the Iranian regime, as intended.

Trump took questions from reporters on Friday afternoon amid the ongoing war in Iran, which is currently paused due to a ceasefire. Nevertheless, Iran is still restricting traffic through the vital Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. continues its blockade of the country. One reporter asked the president about his previous claim of having sent weapons to Kurdish elements in the region.

“I’m not happy with the delivery of the weapons,” Trump said. “I’m not thrilled with it. But a small amount of weapons were sent, and we’ll see who has them. But I’m not happy with what happened with the Kurds. The Kurds did not deliver the weapons.”

In the early days of the war, which began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Feb. 28, Trump encouraged Kurdish militias in the region to begin an offensive against Iran. On March 5, a reporter asked Trump if the U.S. would provide assistance to the Kurds. “I can’t tell you that,” he said then. “If they’re ​going to do that, that’s good.”. Earlier this month, Trump told Fox News that the U.S. had attempted to arm protesters in Iran via the Kurds.

This is what happens when enough idiots have too much time and money, but not enough brains. However, thanks to the Dunning Kruger Effect, they are convinced that they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They get favored.

We get to live in BizarroWorld.

There really needs to be a rule whereby when income increases, the ability to affect society must decrease. Because too many rich folks are just too out of touch, but too readily able to affect everyone else, to be allowed to have any kind of power in this country.

Yeah... like that would ever be considered.

It’s a no brainer! The fact that the President doesn’t feel responsible for the moronic way he conducts business is maddening. It’s not that ‘ someone’ lost the weapons…he did! And they aren’t lost! So interesting that this a topic of discussion days after his 90 minute phone call with Putin! Let’s hear the tapes!

One thing that Krasnov is good at is laundering money into his bank in Qatar.

Weapons for the Kurds but none for Ukraine.

You know, the one's Trump abandoned to their fate in his first term. Of course they are. It's obvious to anyone that Donnie doesn't give a solid shit about their liberation and will dump them whenever it's expedient. Thus, no uprisings.
