Donald Trump has shared a cryptic Truth Social post as the world continues to be affected by his Iran war.

In a typically unhinged all-caps social media post, the 79-year-old wrote: “WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL RESET!!! President DJT.”

Trump offered no explanation for his Friday morning update.

It follows his late-night tirade that saw him aim fire at MAGA influencers criticizing the war, and share a graphic video of a woman being beaten to death with a hammer.

The president shared the ominous Friday message amid the ongoing instability of the proposed two-week ceasefire deal with Iran.

Despite the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz being a key part of the deal, Iran has still closed off the narrow shipping route, through which around one-fifth of the world’s oil supply passes, days after the ceasefire was agreed.

Tehran is also said to be weighing up charging vessels a toll to pass through the Strait, an arrangement that was not in place before Trump began the deeply unpopular multibillion-dollar Middle East conflict.

“There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait—They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday.

Trump, who hinted at the possibility of violating his own ceasefire deal, also shared other unhinged social media updates on Thursday.

They included sharing an extremely violent video of a woman being killed on the street by a man wielding a hammer. The man in the video, Haitian immigrant Rolbert Joachin, was arrested for the April 3 killing.

In the full video, which the Daily Beast is not sharing, the attacker repeatedly strikes his victim with a hammer after she falls on the ground.

Trump claimed that he had an “obligation” to share the graphic video “so that people can see what Democrats are protecting, and wanting to come into our Country.”

The president previously spread the deranged conspiracy that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, were eating people’s cats and dogs during the 2024 campaign.

Elsewhere on Thursday, Trump went on a near 500-word rant against high-profile MAGA figures Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones after they turned on the president over the Iran war.

“They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too,” Trump wrote.

“They don’t have what it takes, and they never did! They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some ‘free’ and cheap publicity.”
