Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf took aim at U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, sharing an image that parodied his signature political slogan with the phrase “Make America Hungry Again.”
Ghalibaf posted the image on social media in response to Trump sharing a Newsmax report on his Truth Social platform that inaccurately quoted the Iranian parliament speaker as saying, "We Are Hungry, We Cannot Survive.”
In a play on Trump’s "Make America Great Again” slogan, Ghalibaf posted a graphic bearing the phrase "Make America Hungry Again” that also featured statistics on hunger and food insecurity in the U.S.
Without naming Trump, Ghalibaf wrote: "You cannot cover up your defeats with baseless claims.”
Last Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to launch what he called "the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country,” describing his maximum-pressure campaign against Iran as "economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale.”
