Donald Trump’s shock outburst earlier today, which saw him swear live on TV while discussing the Israel and Iran conflict, has left people seriously unimpressed.
For those who somehow missed the explosion, the United States' President, 79, made his feelings extremely clear on the two conflicting countries as he left for the NATO summit earlier today (24 June).
A clip of him talking to reporters, which has quickly done the rounds on social media, shows the Republican leader letting a swear word slip as he expressed his frustration.
Trump hit out at both Israel and Iran for allegedly violating a ceasefire, claiming the countries 'don't know' what 'the f**k' they're doing.

He said: "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don't know what the f**k they're doing."
In the viral video, which was posted by Senior Political Correspondent for ABC Rachel Scott, Trump then asked the reporters: "Do you understand that?"
Understandably, people are quite shocked at hearing a world leader swear and some have even made the furious demand for Trump to resign.

One user wrote on Twitter: “The President of the United States, Donald Trump, just swore on television. He is temperamentally unfit to be a leader on the global stage. He must resign.”
Another angrily wrote: “I’m sorry but President Trump must RESIGN!!! What sort of example to young children is he showing by swearing & actually using the word f**k.
“No Christian would do this. Joe Biden doesn’t swear Macron doesn’t swear Zelenskyy doesn’t swear. America hold your head in shame!”
Meanwhile, another replied to the video with: “Here you have it. Our Presidential President. Disgraceful.”

"Trump can't handle this. It's time to resign and hand it over," someone else chimed in with.
And others added: "Far too emotional to be a leader" and: "Yep! Very presidential follow up to his ceasefire announcement."

Elsewhere in the clip, Trump insisted he ‘had to get Israel to calm down’ and claimed the ceasefire was 'violated' on 'both' sides.
He said: "We have to have Israel calm down because it went on a mission this morning. I've got to get Israel to calm down."
Adding: "I'm not sure they did it intentionally. I don't like the fact that Israel went out this morning at all, and I'm going to see if I can stop it. As soon as I get away from you, I'm going to see if I can stop it."

It comes after he took to Truth Social to issue a warning to Israel after announcing a ceasefire between the two countries.
He wrote: "ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."
The social media post came just days after Trump 'totally obliterated' three nuclear sites (Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo) in Iran, getting America involved in the conflict.
In the new video, while talking about the US attacks, he declared: "Iran will never rebuild its nuclear bases. That place is under rocks, that place is demolished."
Iran seemed to retaliate by striking US air bases in Qatar and Iran just two days later.
