@EricLDaugh Judging by this footage you mean first peering down a woman’s cleavage, then looking at a heavily tattooed half naked man with a talent for hitting people?
Got it.

@EricLDaugh Er, no.
As usual, if Trump gets a question he doesn’t like/can’t answer. He blusters and resorts to abuse.
All the more so if the person is a woman.
A pathetic and inadequate bully.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just put a reporter in her PLACE outside the White House
REPORTER: Iran isn't taking your threats seriously about reopening the Strait of Hormuz!
TRUMP: How do YOU know that? You don't know ANYTHING. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC News.
TRUMP: Well, that's FAKE NEWS! Let me just tell you.
We win. No matter WHAT!"
"We've defeated their military. They have no Navy. 158 ships are underwater, undersea. All of their minesweepers and all of their, they call them mine droppers."
"Can you imagine? A country has 28 mine droppers. You think that's nice? With all of that being said, they're all defeated, by the way. They're all at the bottom of the sea."
"Now, with all of that, they have no Navy. They have no radar. They have no Air Force."
"Their leaders are all dead. Khomeini is gone. For many years, he ruled."
"He's gone. With all of that, let's see what happens. But from my standpoint, I don't care!"
Boom.

The Iran nuclear deal that Trump withdrew from came after 12 years of negotiations. Yet Vance thought Iran would accept US terms after 21 hours. The US thinks Iran lost this war, so they can dictate terms. Iran thinks it won, and - to use Trump's terms - has many cards to play.

JD Vance: "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the US. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement ... they have chosen not to accept our terms"

Looking at your profile I see a moron.

Trump: “Crazy Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it’s not even close!”

@Microinteracti1 For me a significant factor was that Trump seriously believed a settlement could include putting up a toll barrier on the Hormuz Strait that could enrich the US and Iran together.
An avaricious creature who believes that money is the answer to everything.

JD Vance has returned from Pakistan. With him came two estate agents. This is not the opening line of a joke, although I wish it were, because the punchline is catastrophic.
They flew home with their tails between their legs after what the State Department will presumably describe as “productive preliminary discussions” and what the rest of the planet will recognise as being thrown out on your ear. Iran wanted, apparently, to watch a vice president and two men who normally sell semi-detached houses in Virginia try to look dignified while boarding a plane back to nowhere.
And we all know what this means. The Strait of Hormuz will stay closed.
Twenty percent of the world’s oil supply passes through a waterway roughly the width of a slightly ambitious motorway. Every time someone in Washington has a bad week, that waterway gets a bit narrower. Right now it is approximately the width of a letter box, and oil prices are doing what oil prices always do when adults are not in charge, which is going completely and utterly insane.
Now. The estate agents. This is the detail that keeps me awake.
Why does a peace delegation to one of the most strategically sensitive negotiations on earth require property professionals? I have been racking my brain. The only explanation that holds together, if you squint and tilt your head, is that someone was attempting to acquire a stake in some sort of Hormuz-adjacent enterprise. A port authority, perhaps. A logistics company. Something with the word “international” in the name and a chairman who wears a lot of gold. Trump getting into the ownership structure of the very chokepoint his military is supposedly fighting over would be, in any previous administration, the kind of thing that ended careers. In this one it is Tuesday.
Iran, to their considerable credit, apparently noticed.
Meanwhile, back home, the administration is talking about conscription. Actual conscription. The mandatory enrollment of young Americans into military service, which is either a sign of profound strategic confidence or the most terrifying admission of overextension in modern American history. I leave it to you to decide which, though I note that the people making this decision have children of precisely the wrong age and security details of precisely the right size.
Seven billion people looked at Donald Trump and understood immediately what they were looking at. They had read the biography. They had watched the first term. They had seen a man attempt to remain in power by means that, in any country without America’s particular combination of luck and institutional stubbornness, would have succeeded. They filed this information away under “obvious.”
Seventy million people looked at the same evidence and saw a genius.
This is the central mystery of our age and I do not have a satisfying answer to it.
What I do have is the image of a speeding car. It is travelling at a hundred and thirty kilometres per hour toward a cliff edge that is clearly visible from quite some distance. The people responsible for steering it are busy. They have calls to make, deals to structure, properties to value. The passengers are arguing about whether the driver is brilliant or misunderstood. Europe and Canada are standing at the side of the road watching Americans jog past with suitcases, looking for somewhere quieter to live.
The cliff, for its part, is not moving.

@EricLDaugh This is the same man who boasted that sunk Iranian warships were ‘floating’ at the bottom of the sea.

🚨 NOW: President Trump just said that tankers are FLOODING to America to be loaded up with oil and gas as the Strait of Hormuz remains constricted
We are the energy capital of the WORLD now 🔥
"Boats are sailing up and heading out to our country. Big, beautiful tankers, and we're loading them up with oil and gas and everything else. It's a pretty beautiful thing to see!"

@IntolerantLeft4 @Real_Ames @RZourdos84 Typo there, buddy.
More like a ‘discipline’ model.
Trump married her for the showers, and her strong belief that women are just as good as men.

English

While people were busy calling her a “gold digger”…
she was quietly securing $25 MILLION for foster kids — children with no parents, no safety net, no voice.
No press tour.
No cameras.
No applause.
Just action.
And it hit me hard…
a “gold digger” doesn’t fight for kids who can’t give anything back.
That’s not a gold digger.
That’s someone stepping up when no one else will.
How many times did we let that narrative slide without speaking up? 🤔

@peter_krasucki @jakubwiech But under a fair taxation system point of treatment care - incl routine meds - covers those less well off who would otherwise suffer.
It works well enough.
Taking care of its citizens of all stripes is what a civilised country does.

@PaulRBear4 @jakubwiech There is no free healthcare anywhere, it is always paid with direct and indirect taxation.

Impressive, very nice. Now tell me, Tom:
🇪🇺How many days of paid vacation do people in Mississippi get? Because in Europe, 20 working days is the standard.
🇪🇺How long of a paid maternity leave can a woman giving birth in Mississippi expect? Because in Europe, you can get more than a year of paid maternity leave.
🇪🇺Are free university studies available in Mississippi? Because in Europe, that’s basically the norm.
🇪🇺What does public transportation look like in Mississippi? Because in Europe, trains, buses, and trams are widespread, and in some places, even free.
🇪🇺What is the life expectancy at birth in Mississippi? Because in Europe it’s nearly 82 years.
I could go on, because we haven’t even touched on gun violence, income inequality, or food quality. But what I’m really trying to say is this: GDP doesn’t tell you much about quality of life. It’s a measure of production, not wellbeing.
If GDP doesn’t translate into a real improvement in the lives of the majority of society, it becomes an empty statistic. And boasting about it starts to resemble a boy at school bragging about how much his father earns, while conveniently leaving out that he never has time for him. In the end, money simply obscures what actually matters most in life.

To those of you on the left, who keep claiming MAGA is losing supporters, you are wrong! #MAGA is as strong as ever. I have voted for President Trump three times, and I do not regret one single vote. All y'all leftists are straight up delusional! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You know what would be amazing if Vance and his team can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of enriched uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; keeps the straits open without charging anyone; and commits to all of this for at least ten years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.
English

@peter_krasucki @jakubwiech ‘Majority of middle class Americans.’
Quite.
Over half a million Americans go bankrupt each year because of medical debts. And thanks to Trump, that number will increase as medical insurance becomes ever more restricted.
In some European countries healthcare is free.
English

Let me me answer for you. Paid vacation my whole life in every company that I work:
Vacation - 30 days
Maternity - 120-160 days
Paid Sick Leave - 30 to unlimited, medically verified after 2 weeks. Those that abuse it get fired.
This is for majority of middle class of Americans with individual income $80-150 k per year, Mostly college educated. About 60% of the country. 20% of the country really rich, 15% poor and last 5% very poor. Then you have immigrants - 80% work really hard, 10% criminal and 10% public assistance. Immigrants typically within 10-20 years move to the middle 60% class.

@DonaldJTrumpJr I hope you will f*** off interfering in the politics of another country.
You’re supporting a corrupt dictator who grovels to Putin.
And that’s just your father.

@shinso45 @kelvmackenzie Fair point.
It’s plausible.
Less plausible is that Kelvin Mackenzie has any friends.

Trump says the US has begun clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz.
Here’s the problem.
The four dedicated US Navy minesweepers stationed in Bahrain were decommissioned in September 2025 and physically removed from the region in January 2026, seven weeks before Operation Epic Fury began.
Their replacements, three Littoral Combat Ships, are currently in Southeast Asia. The sensors on those ships struggle to detect mines in clear California coastal water. The Strait of Hormuz is turbid.
Pre-mission calibration alone takes six hours per sortie. A single equipment failure, tow hook, crane, data link, grounds the entire system.
The allies who actually know how to do this job, Poland, France, the UK, Germany, all said no.
Experts say even under ideal conditions, clearing a viable shipping lane takes until late summer at the earliest.

So what exactly is Trump “beginning”?

@FoxNews Jaw dropping.
Jesus would have worked in Chick-fil-A?
That’s quite an endorsement.
English

A Chick-fil-A employee found nearly $10,000 in cash in the restaurant’s bathroom….and instead of pocketing it — he helped return it to the owner.
His reasoning?
It’s what Jesus would do.
“That’s not what Jesus would have done. That’s not what God would have wanted.”
“Money is useless without character.”
