Trump warns US is on brink of World War III: ‘Bombs are dropping, sleepy Joe is on beach, comrade Kamala is campaigning’ – Times of India

Donald Trump has issued a stark warning, claiming that the United States is on the verge of World War III, with Vice President Kamala Harris at the helm of what he describes as a catastrophic course. The former president’s remarks came just hours after Israel conducted a series of preemptive airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, significantly escalating tensions in the region.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump questioned the Biden administration‘s handling of the situation in the Middle East, criticizing both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “Who is negotiating for us in the Middle East? Bombs are dropping all over the place!” Trump posted. He then lashed out at Biden, saying, “Sleepy Joe is sleeping on a beach in California, viciously exiled by the Democrats, and Comrade Kamala is doing a campaign bus tour with Tampon Tim, her really bad VP pick. Let’s not have World War III because that’s where we’re heading!”

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that their strikes were a defensive measure aimed at preventing Hezbollah from launching rockets and missiles at Tel Aviv. “We have neutralized thousands of rocket launchers at over 40 sites,” IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari announced. In retaliation, Hezbollah fired hundreds of Katyusha rockets and drones, further intensifying the conflict.
Hezbollah dismissed Israel’s allegations as “baseless” and launched counterattacks, which it described as the “first phase” of its response. Hezbollah hailed its strikes as a “complete success,” according to a report by CNN.
Trump’s warnings of a looming global conflict are not new. Just days earlier, he declared, “There will be no future under Comrade Kamala Harris, because she will take us into a Nuclear World War III!” Reports indicate that Trump has referenced the possibility of World War III at least 32 times on social media since 2013.

Meanwhile, the IDF reported that approximately 100 Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels aimed at northern and central Israel. The IDF emphasized their commitment to defending their civilians and the State of Israel, stating on X, “We will do whatever is needed to defend our civilians and the State of Israel.”
As the situation deteriorates, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared a state of emergency for the next 48 hours, allowing the IDF Home Front Command to issue restrictions and take necessary actions to protect the civilian population.
In a press conference, IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari warned Lebanese citizens in southern Lebanon of imminent Israeli attacks. “We warn the Lebanese citizens who are in southern Lebanon; we recognize that Hezbollah is now preparing to shoot widely into Israeli territory near your home. You are in danger. We attack and remove Hezbollah threats. Anyone who is near the areas where Hezbollah operates is required to stay away from them immediately,” Hagari stated.
With tensions at a boiling point, the Israeli public remains on high alert, bracing for further escalation as both sides continue to exchange heavy fire. The IDF has urged civilians to follow “life-saving” instructions from the Home Front Command, which will be updated regularly based on the evolving situation.
