My take: Trump’s rambling Iran address was full of wishful thinking spectator.com/article/trump-… @ccaryl @melindaharing

Not good for Trump that he's deploying obvious lies.

BREAKING: Fox News reports Trump's speech is set to outline ground troops might be needed to take uranium in Iran

I won't believe Trump is going to say in his speech what all the leaks are saying he's going to say until he actually says them, and after he does, I won't believe the remarks will guide what happens in the war for longer than roughly five minutes.

During tonight’s Address to the Nation from the Oval Office, U.S. President Donald J. Trump will inform the American public that the deployment of ground troops may be necessary to end the ongoing war and round up highly-enriched uranium in Iran, sources tell Fox News.

Is he just purposely recording material for attack ads

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Today, we are announcing plans to lift the statewide ban on self-service gas stations in New Jersey.
We encourage New Jerseyans to familiarize themselves with gas pumps as this change is in effect immediately, April 1, 2026.

Hope you’re right. It feels a bit different this time, though.

Lots of overreaction to Trump's remarks to the Telegraph on NATO. We ought to know now that Trump loves the framing "I'm considering" or "closely looking at" or "have decided to do in two weeks" framing. It's always designed for shock value and to put others on the defensive. 1/5

BREAKING: The Pentagon is sending more airpower to the Middle East, doubling its fleet there of A-10 attack planes, which can be used to support ground troops, The New York Times reports.

It's good that Trump showed up at the Supreme Court today. The effect is to stamp his face all over this vile effort to end the constitutional birthright of equality and restore hierarchy by blood. Let him be associated with this forever.

@JacobHeilbrunn Not Israel but certainly US Middle Eastern hegemony was important to him in 1990s and 2000s.

I'll admit that Robert Kagan has surprised me -- it turns out his core commitment, when push came to shove, is Atlanticism rather than US hegemony in Middle East.

From Robert Kagan, neocon godfather. Nothing to see here, to be sure. (This is extraordinary)

U.S. planners are considering ground operations in Iran, including Kharg Island and uranium sites, pending Trump’s approval.

@DamonLinker I wonder if he will interject during Supreme Court session today

I've been a tough Trump critic for the past 11 years, but I have to admit that his steadfast, wise, magnanimous, resolute statesmanship in this war with Iran over the past month has finally won me over. America has been restored to its former Greatness.

President Trump en route to the Supreme Court for oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, the historic birthright citizenship case.
First sitting president ever to attend in person

The question of Trump "leaving NATO" is being read, as ever, in too legalistic a fashion. All the Washington Treaty commits states to do is respond to an attack in the form they deem necessary, in accordance with their own constitutional processes. The treaty itself is lean.
