President Donald Trump has sparked disbelief and mockery after an extraordinary White House briefing on Monday that critics claimed was more reminiscent of an SNL skit.

Trump took the White House podium to detail the 'breathtaking' rescue of two US pilots shot down over Iran, showing the scope and resolve of the American fighting force.

YouTube personality and comedian Jimmy Dore led the charge, calling the administration's narrative a 'clown show' after Trump claimed total military dominance despite the recent downing of a US fighter jet.

'Pretending that getting a fighter jet shot down by a military that Trump said was 'Completely Decimated' as a victory is pure clown show,' Dore wrote on X. 'Iran is humiliated? Everything they say is projection and a confession.'

Other high-traffic financial accounts on X echoed the sentiment, with one viral post stating: 'That was one of the craziest press conferences Trump has ever given. Absolute comedy.'

The comments come as Trump signals a frantic, optimistic push for a peace deal with what he calls a 'decapitated' Iranian regime - while simultaneously authorizing the most 'ferocious' wave of American strikes to date.

And he wouldn't disclose whether he'll be winding down the bombing campaign.

'I don't know. I can't tell. It depends what they do,' Trump said, further sparking confusion.

The President warned that the entire country of Iran could be 'taken out' in one night, adding that it could be on Tuesday
