Nasrallah: Trump a fool sitting in the White House
Hezbollah Secretary General Nasrallah delivers flurry of insults against President Trump, sardonically thanking him ‘for exposing the true face of the American government, the ugly, oppressive and racist one.’
Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah stated Sunday that he is unperturbed by US President Donald Trump's political positions, stating that he has merely "exposed the true face of the American government, the ugly, oppressive, and racist one."
During his speech which he gave during the memorial service for a Hezbollah cleric who had recently passed away, Nasrallah addressed publications propounding that Hezbollah is worried and fears the rise of Trump.
"What's new? The new thing is that previously, there was a president who covered himself in hypocrisy and spoke beautiful words, but he invoked sanctions and supported wars like the one in Yemen that led thousands into starvation, supported dictatorships and created ISIS to damage the religion of Islam," the leader of the terrorist group said.
After slamming the former US President Barack Obama, Nasrallah moved on to mock the new Republican President Trump.
"Trump set hypocrisy aside. We thank him since he exposed the true face of the American government, the ugly, oppressive, and racist one. Ever since he was elected, he revealed the true nature of the American government.
"For us, fear dissipated a long time ago, in 1982, when we were few and Israel had conquered half of Lebanon. Triumph is achieved nowadays through Syria, Iraq and Yemen, and neither Trump nor his ancestors, nor Bush, nor any of those racists can harm the faith of our children or of our adults," Nasrallah asserted, before delivering a direct insult on the president.
"When a fool is sitting in the White House, who glorifies in his stupidity, this marks the beginning of redemption," he said as he concluded his speech.
Last week, Nasrallah's assistant Naim Qassem said in an interview regarding Trump's travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries that "Trump is basing his actions on the belief that this would serve US interest. I don't know what Trump will bring and I don't care what he wants, but he is acting crazy. He thinks he is serving the US while more than half of his people are against him on this issue. He has problems with several countries. Let's let Trump hurtle into the abyss on his own without us guiding him on what is right or wrong."
Nasrallah's assistant also sent a message to Trump in which he said that a political solution in Syria does not include abolishing Hezbollah, which has been assisting the Syrian regime in the conflict against the rebel organizations, as well as against other terror organizations like ISIS.
