DONALD Trump has broken his silence after a bomber blew up a Tesla Cybertyruck outside his hotel in a suspected terror attack.
The president-elect launched a scathing attack on the Democratic party’s government and warned the US is “breaking down”.
Shocking footage caught the moment the blast occurred outside the glass entrance of the hotel just before 9am on New Year’s Day.
The Cybertruck was ripped apart by the huge explosion that sent its’ metal paneling flying.
Shattered glass was thrown across the entrance of the hotel with seven others injured.
The truck was then left as a blazing wreck that continued to burn for some time.
Cops are probing whether the deadly explosion was an “act of terror” after the truck pulled up to the hotel in Nevada and blew up – killing the driver and injuring seven bystanders.
Speaking for the first time on the attack, Trump blasted the country’s security systems and said the US is a “disaster”.
He blamed the Dems for being “incompetent” and not doing their jobs – and said they should be “ashamed”.
Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social: “Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have Open Borders, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership.
“The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking [me] rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent scum that has infiltrated all aspects of our government.
“The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation.
“Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country.”
The explosion came just hours after a suspected terrorist rammed a truck into a crowd celebrating New Year in New Orleans, killing 15 and wounding dozens of people.
The suspected Cybertruck bomber has been identified as US Army veteran Matthew Livelsberger who reportedly served at the same army base as the New Orleans suspect.
However, investigators have yet to confirm any potential relationship or connections between the two suspects.
Elon Musk claimed his futuristic Cybertruck thwarted the “evil knuckleheads” who blew up the car outside of the hotel.
The Tesla boss said the truck funnelled flames away from the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas and “contained the explosion” that killed one person and injured seven others.
He said on X, formerly Twitter: “The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack.
“Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”
Musk added the explosion was caused by “very large fireworks and/or a bomb” and was “unrelated to the vehicle itself”.
Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership.
The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job.
They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself.
Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country.
The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late. The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation.
Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Meanwhile, the suspected terrorist who ploughed his pickup truck into the revellers was identified as US Army veteran Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, 42.
At least 15 people were killed early on New Year’s Day in Louisiana when Jabbar ploughed his white pickup into revellers on the famed Bourbon Street before opening fire.
When the truck stopped and the suspect got out, three officers fired at and killed him.
Other cops working at the New Year celebrations bravely ran towards the gunfire while revellers desperately sprinted away.
Video posted to social media showed the white truck driving with traffic before sharply turning right and speeding past police.
Jabbar reportedly drove onto a sidewalk to avoid a cop car blocking the road, bollards, and officers who were there protecting the public.
Police superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said the Jabbar drove the pick-up truck down Bourbon Street “at a very fast pace” and was “intentionally trying to run over as many people as he possibly could”.
Both the Cybertruck that exploded and the pickup truck used in the New Orleans terror attack were reportedly rented through the Turo car-sharing app.
Police found an ISIS flag on the back of his truck and they’re now searching for associates of the suspect who may have helped him in the terror plot.
Jabbar’s brother Abdur who lives in Texas blamed “radicalization” for the deadly rampage.
Abdur told The New York Times that his brother converted to Islam at a very young age, but added that his actions “did not represent Islam”.
“This is more some type of radicalization, not religion,” he said.
A chilling series of videos made by the suspected New Orleans truck driver has now been uncovered.
The army vet is said to have filmed several short clips while driving around late at night where he allegedly spoke about joining ISIS and killing his family.
Jabbar was “being all crazy”, the new husband of his ex-wife said, the New York Times reports.
The suspect also had two daughters who have been left a “mess” after the attack.
Meanwhile, pipe bombs were reportedly found inside the car concealed within coolers and were wired for remote detonation, a state police intelligence bulletin obtained by AP said.
The remote that controlled two of the bombs was also found inside the suspect’s tract along with two mason jars with explosives.
The FBI said the 3am attack is being investigated as an “act of terrorism” and they are investigating Jabbar’s “associations and affiliations”.
