Dear Mr. @realDonaldTrump
The regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators (period, stop!). Do not believe a word they say. I know you want to get out of this mess. All Americans want this unnecessary war to end. Keep in mind, as you have been told many times, Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism (all anyone needs to say is Hezbollah, Hamas & Houthis, never mind IRGC-QF). None of these organizations are going away with this deal.
How about getting them to first publicly apologize for killing American Soldiers and U.S. Marines many times over (especially on this Memorial Day weekend). Yes, we are all sick of it.
And yes, the people of Iran must step up, but we need to signal to them, we will not concede their freedoms to the insane regime in Teheran. They deserve better. If we don’t, we will cause an entire population to be enslaved. For this, we have to smartly use our Middle East partners to support them along with our covert and clandestine operators. Trust me, if you support, this is very doable.
Anyway, I’m watching everything (like most of the world is) and admittedly I do not have all the information. But if we pay tribute to the regime to the tune of $25B, I’m concerned they’ll use it for nefarious purposes down the road.
No nukes in Iran may be a noble idea (an end goal for your administration) but the regime has blatantly lied to our faces before, why do you now believe they will tell you the truth?
Give it some thought. Get some out of the box solutions, and rethink your position. The art of the deal tells you to do that from time to time.
Now may be that time.
@POTUS@SecRubio
Dear Citizens of South Carolina, vote this out of control U.S. Senator from office during your upcoming primary. You don’t need him and our country can no longer afford to have him speaking as though he is speaking for all of America. He is not.
He is also embarrassing our @POTUS who I’ll never understand why he endorses him?
@LindseyGrahamSC interests are not American interests nor are they South Carolinians interests. They are to stroke his own ego.
Vote Graham out!
Vote @MarkLynchSC in and let’s get some fresh ideas and common sense from a business executive and patriot into the next U.S. Senate.
The Chinese Communist Party is the single greatest external threat to the United States of America.
That is not a political statement. It is not an opinion offered for effect. It is the operational reality I lived as Director of DIA and National Security Advisor, and it is the conclusion confirmed by every serious threat assessment produced by the United States Intelligence Community in the years since.

Breaking (the internet):
CCP President Xi’s use of the term, “Thucydides Trap” during his opening comments to @POTUS has everyone wondering …
WHAT THE …. ?
Xi’s remark on the Thucydides trap is a classic piece of Chinese diplomatic signaling; polite on the surface, however, very sharp and pointed underneath. It’s a reminder to our president (and the world) that Beijing (Xi) sees itself as the rising power in a structural rivalry with a (supposedly) established hegemon (the U.S.), and that any failure to accommodate China’s ascent risks major conflict which the United States cannot afford (and there is practically zero support from the American people currently for more war and Xi knows it).
Examining it another way, President Xi stated it intentionally to show China as Sparta (rising, dynamic, rightful heir to greater influence) and the U.S. as Athens (established but fearful and in decline). To some students of warfare, this may be an imperfect analogy, but the fact he used this phrase must be clearly and thoroughly examined.
Xi is signaling that the U.S. should step back gracefully, especially on Taiwan (and never lose site of what Xi has already said about Taiwan; One (1) China, and he’s not backing down), checking trade & tech restrictions, and increasingly regional dominance, rather than the U.S. attempting to further impede China’s “rejuvenation” efforts.
Essentially, it was a veiled warning:
Push too hard (ie., on Taiwan or decoupling), and structural tensions could lead to an extremely dangerous place.
Lastly, I believe Xi’s use of this ancient theory on warfare is explicitly tied to Taiwan tensions. At the same time, it’s cooperative language as well. Typical use of smart diplomatic double speak the Chinese are masters at.
Xi addressing a new paradigm, a brighter future for humanity because he knows the world is watching and listening and studying.
This is standard CCP diplomacy that keeps the door open for deals while putting the onus on the U.S. to avoid escalation.
Bottom line, and like it or not, he let Trump know you’re in my house now and we set the rules here.
FYI only, Thucydides wrote about the Peloponnesian War. The War (431–404 BC) was a devastating 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta. It was driven by Sparta’s fears of growing Athenian (ie., U.S.) imperialism, the war ended with the total defeat of Athens, fundamentally altering the ancient Greek world and ending its “Golden Age.”
The Peloponnesian war lasted more than two decades. I’d say we’re somewhere in the late third quarter and time favors the watchmakers and not the watch-watchers.
We need to keep in mind that @realDonaldTrump isn’t the only one who understands nor read the art of the deal.

This historical image shows, tourists climbing the steep steps of El Castillo (Temple of Kukulcán) at the ancient Maya site of Chichén Itzá in Mexico 🇲🇽
The Maya city of Chichén Itzá, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Yucatán, Mexico. This step-pyramid was built by Maya civilization between 8th-12th Centuries AD, and functioned as a temple to the deity Kukulcán. The pyramid acts as a huge solar calendar; it has a total of 365 steps, with 91 steps on each of the four sides plus the temple platform on top.
Today, tourists are no longer permitted to climb the pyramid to protect the ancient structure and preserve the site.

I cannot describe how unbelievably difficult it is to realize that everything you once thought - was wrong.
Obama, in my mind, was the greatest president in history, but I couldn’t have told you why.
It was a false narrative I bought & shared.
Fox's Aishah Hasnie: Karoline Leavitt's husband leaned over and told me right as the WH Correspondents Dinner was starting, "You need to be very safe."
"He was very serious when that said that to me, and he kinda looked around the room and said, 'There are some–'"

🚨🚨Breaking: President Trump is publicly supporting the Democrat Party backed takeover of Infowars by the Onion!
🚨In 2024 the Bloomberg funded Onion fraudulently claimed that they had won a bankruptcy bid to take over Infowars.
🚨Now they are doing it again with the backing of Trump’s DOJ.
🚨The REAL Infowars is set to close May 1st.
🚨 I am being punished for exposing the Epstein files…
@RealAlexJones Sound the alarms and fire up the new network. Alex needs to be on an aggressive media tour for the next 8 days spreading the word.
Let's see who steps up and supports the OG in his time of need... I'm talking to you, @joerogan.
These people manufacture consent for endless wars & child murder (Trump bombs schools, Hannity covers it up)
All the while, they’re paid millions & live in luxury while @RealAlexJones who NEVER HURT ANYONE has to live in a box by the river!
Double standard! It must end NOW 💯
Trump actually wants to be surrounded by weak, ass-kissing sycophants.
As long as you are a sniveling, groveling, underhanded, submissive worm, Trump will love and respect you.
I mean sure, these are ruthless conniving snakes, but they know how to play the part.
Jesse Watters says Gaza didn’t happen
Trump/Hannity say the Elementary School bombing in Iran was a hoax
Alan Dershowitz says Epstein isn’t a pedo/intelligence agent
Where are the billion dollar lawsuits?
Where’s the ACCOUNTABILITY???
I thought we applied things equal!
