🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump angers the Democrats by going full WASHINGTON DC BEAUTY mode, he personally made donations and worked with Doug Burgum

"You're going to have the reflecting pool opened within hours. I mean, literally within hours. The water starts pouring in tonight. It's going to be beautiful. You haven't seen that since 1922!"

"The parks are open. We changed the grass. You know, grass has a life also. Grass has a life. And that grass hasn't been changed in 70, 80 years. It died many times over!"

"We have beautiful grass, beautiful parks, beautiful everything. We don't have people living on it. And Washington, D.C. In a matter of 14 months, Washington, D.C. is like a different place that people are coming here!"

"You know, the restaurants were all going out of business, you know, because you used the restaurants. And now the restaurants are hot. In fact, if anything, we don't have enough restaurants based."

"They're all reopening. It's become vibrant. It's a beautiful thing to watch. And I am honored that I've been able to do it to our nation's capital."

Patriot.

Treasury Secretary Bessent just dismantled Senator Warren's after she tried to grill him on President Trump's stock purchases.

Bessent stumped her immediately: "Why don't we investigate many people on this committee, Senator?"

🚨 NOW — REPORTER: You said the US would dig out the nuclear material

PRESIDENT TRUMP: With Iran

REPORTER: Did they agree?

TRUMP: Depends on which day you're talking about.

REPORTER: You put that out on Friday

TRUMP: They did agree. It's one of the things we're talking about...US and CHINA can get it. I want to get it.

Iran needs to stop playing games!

🇪🇺🇨🇳 The European Union's share of the global economy has fallen from 30% to 17% in just 17 years.

That's roughly the same relative decline China experienced during the Qing Dynasty.

The difference?

China took about 50 years.

Europe did it in 17.

For decades, Europe helped shape the global economy, global institutions, and the rules of the international order.

Now it's increasingly adapting to a world being shaped by others.

The real question is whether Europe still knows how to stop it.

Speaking to reporters earlier in the Oval Office, President Trump was asked about last night’s Iranian drone and missile attack against Kuwait, which caused significant damage and injured dozens at Kuwait International Airport, to which he responded by stating: “There is a reason for everything.” Before suggesting that the attack was spurred by U.S. strikes against Iran, saying: “We hit them pretty hard the night before and actually last night. And when it was explained to me, I said, ‘all right, so we'll do that.’ But we've been hitting them pretty hard.”

My family escaped Communism to come to the U.S.

Today in the Oval Office, I asked President Trump why he's warning Americans about Communism in a new statement. His response was powerful:

“You're going to get free rent, you're going to get free houses, you're going to get free food, you're going to get free everything, but eventually that ends, and it leads to death, destruction, and squalor 100% of the time.”

On Mayor Mamdani in NYC: “I don't understand why he thinks it's okay for all these companies that pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes a year to leave, because you're not going to have any tax base.”

“Free enterprise is tougher to sell, but that's what's made our country great, and that's why it's great again now.”

🚨🇰🇼 🇮🇷 CCTV footage now shows the moment a terminal at Kuwait International Airport was hit, with an Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drone slamming into Terminal 1.

The IRGC denied responsibility for the airport damage and tried to pin it on a malfunctioning Patriot interceptor.

Cameras catching a Shahed flying into the building makes that excuse very hard to sustain.

Reporter: How do you define ceasefire?

Trump: In that part of the world, ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner

[Fox News @FoxNews]

BREAKING: President Trump suffered a rare defeat in the House after Democrats and a handful of Republicans voted to sharply curb his war powers in Iran.

Lawmakers voted 215-208 to withdraw troops from using military force against Iran absent congressional authorization.

All Democrats present backed the measure, joined by Reps. Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Tom Barrett — the only Republicans to break with the president.

The vote is largely symbolic for now. Trump is expected to veto the resolution, and supporters do not have the votes needed to override it. But the bipartisan rebuke highlights growing divisions on Capitol Hill over U.S. involvement in Iran.

He knows what’s coming… listen closely. 👀

TRUMP:
We had a rigged election, we can’t have rigged elections

DEVINE:
So someone has to be punished for that… how do you do that?

TRUMP:
I don’t want to get into it…

DEVINE:
Are you confident that something will happen?

TRUMP:
I don’t want to talk about it.. let’s see what happens. WE KNOW WHO RIGGED the elections. WE KNOW everything now.

Then he dropped a MOAB..

“You know when you get to office all of a sudden people start giving you things.”

I’m telling you right now, they are building a massive Rico conspiracy case dating back to the 2016 election. Trump knows, but it is very noticeable that he is distancing himself from what is coming. That is why Venezuela is in play, that is why we captured Maduro, that is why DNI is focused on Fulton County Georgia and Maricopa County Arizona. The building blocks are being put together for an airtight massive boomerang.
