🚨 NEW: Trump sat down with @axios' @MarcACaputo for his first interview since signing the MOU with Iran.
He said there are “no limits” on presidential power and that he achieved his stated goals of regime change and unconditional surrender.
Marc previewed The Axios Show interview with @ErinBurnett.
the iran deal resolves literally none of trump’s stated war aims. not a single one.
it’s still a good thing trump took this off-ramp.
my reaction on @cnn
This six-minute stretch from Trump's presser really captures how off the rails he was at the G7. It begins with him talking about "how easy" it would've been to commit genocide in Iran, continues with him downplaying and deflecting about killing Iranian children, and ends with him asserting that "Afghanistan is kissing our ass, you know that?"
Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.
Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
remarkable scenes on Hannity last night as the normally Trump-friendly Gen. Jack Keane criticized the administration for being an unreliable narrator, urged Trump to release the text of the Iran deal, and noted it may still end up leaving a path for Iran to get a nuke
.@VP JD VANCE: "ACCESS TO $3B RECONSTRUCTION FUND" IN IRAN DEAL
"Funded by the GULF EMIRATES, not the US." @rabbiwolicki argues why Persian media is celebrating and seeing this deal as a "capitulation" from the US.

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.
I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.
Tim Dillon: “This Iran war was a huge humiliation.”
“A nightmare.”
“A big disaster in every way.”
“The messaging, the actual strategy, everything.”
“But if there’s one thing we have in America, it’s a rabid sense of delusion.”
“We just have to find a way to cowardly and shamefully run away … while seeming like we are the victors.”
“This is possible.”
“I have faith in us.”
“We must turn tail and scram.”
“But while doing that, scream about the victory.”
“Tell people how victorious we are.”
“In the middle of the night, we must move all of our military out of that area, and we must … claim that we’ve destroyed Iran.”
“And we only stopped hitting them because we are humanitarians.”
“The only thing for us to do is the most American thing in the world.”
“Run away while screaming that we are humanitarians and that we … destroyed their capability to detonate a nuke in Manhattan.”
“Which is why we went into this retarded war.”
“Iran was gonna have a nuke, and they were going to detonate it in Manhattan during the Knicks.”
