I have been pretty critical of Trump on Iran, but this is a shamefully dishonest mischaracterization of what he said, which is that he does not want that to happen, and that he thinks that higher gas prices are worth it to ensure that it doesn't. https://t.co/712o3ic2kz

[Philip Klein @philipaklein]

These headlines are a disgrace and another example of why nobody trusts the media. If you watch the full clip, it's clear what he is saying is that high oil prices are a small price to pay for stopping Iran from getting a nuke that would allow them to take out US cities.

[Stephen Hayes @stephenfhayes]

Exactly.

Trump's phrasing was a jumbled mess, as is often the case. But clear from the context that he wasn't advocating attacks on LA and SD. He was defending the Iran war and the high cost of fuel today.

Hours before Krist Noem left her job as D.H.S. secretary, her agency bought 5 planes from a donor at a big markup, records show. They were supposed to fly deportees but have largely sat idle -- a striking symbol of gov. waste under President Trump. https://t.co/8CXALhOwpa

SCOOP: White House officials, led by Susie Wiles, have told DOJ to delay any abortion-related action until after the midterms

Wiles suggested to Todd Blanche that an aggressive approach on abortion would be negative for the GOP in November

NEW: President Trump directly told Russ Vought to find the funds to finance the ads glorifying him. The agency’s general counsel and WH counsel both signed off on the move as legal. The president and WH chief of staff spoke to the DHS secretary. https://t.co/U4zWDOqJbx

What would it mean to turn back the clock on the last 40 years?

In one big number, it would mean a ~70% reduction in global GDP. | @foster_type

In the early going, people would ask me, "Why don't you like Trump?" Clearly, they had never known me. A big reason I became a conservative was anti-communism: opposition to monstrous dictators, moral clarity on the subject. All of that is gone, absolutely gone, on the right.
