NEW: President Trump says China’s leader was right about America’s decline under President Biden — but argues the U.S. has completely rebounded under his administration.
In a lengthy post, Trump touted booming markets, record investment, the "ending" of DEI, and what he called the “strongest military on earth by far,” while predicting a stronger relationship with China moving forward.
THIS IS INSANE
There is now a 35% chance that US national debt will hit $50 trillion by 2028, before the end of Trump’s current term.
If that happens, Trump will be solely responsible for adding approximately 43% of the total US debt across his two terms.

BIG: Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has privately made clear to senior Trump administration officials that the U.S. needs to "find an off-ramp" from the war with Iran, believing the military options available to escalate the conflict could backfire.
While Caine has assured Trump that the U.S. military "could absolutely wreck them" if ordered, he has also emphasized the limits of military force, concerns over dwindling U.S. munitions stockpiles, and the risks of a prolonged conflict.
As a result, officials have increasingly discussed finding an "off-ramp" that would allow the administration to de-escalate while still claiming progress.
