REPORTER: "Can you speak a little bit about your, post on Truth Social on Iran? And what was the decision ... why you didn't attack... ?"
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Well, other countries have come to me and they've said... We were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow. I've put it off for a little while, hopefully, maybe forever, but possibly for a little while, because we've had, very big discussions with Iran and we'll see what they amount to."
"I was asked by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and some others if we could put it off for 2 or 3 days, a short period of time, because they think that they are getting very close to making a deal. And if we can do that where there's no nuclear weapon going into the hands of Iran, I think and if they're satisfied, we will be probably satisfied."
Trump is right.
Congress will make excuses on why the SAVE America Act can't be sent to his desk but time for excuses is past!!!

When Mount Saint Helens erupted 46 years ago today, nothing survived that was within 230 square miles of the explosion.
Except for photographer Richard Lasher who escaped on his dirt bike after taking this shot.

While Karen Bass is worried about getting meth-heads new grills, the LAFD has 3 dozen LESS firefighters than we had when the Palisades Fire hit. Folks, you need to vote like your life depends on it, because it does.
I just had the craziest experience at the airport.
We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.
Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”
Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.
The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”
He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”
Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…
Start clapping.
I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.
All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.
It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.
@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.
LMAO! JD Vance just told the story how Trump clowned on him on LIVE TV for wearing Shamrock socks in the Oval Office with the Irish PM
"[The President] likes more conservative dress. I learned this the hard way last year..."
"I decided to wear my shamrock socks to welcome the Irish Prime Minister. And we're sitting down in front of God, and everybody, and probably 100 TV cameras in a live press conference...
... and the President starts his remarks, and then he looks over and says, 'what is going on with those socks?!'" 🤣
"So I learned the hard way: dress conservatively around the President of the United States." 😂
