“It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen,” #Trump said in an exchange with reporters when asked about pressing for the ouster of the Islamic clerical rule in #Iran. “For 47 years, they’ve been talking & talking & talking.” [dude… if ANYONE has been “talking & talking” it’s your dumbass verbal diarrhea.]

Trump is moving a second aircraft carrier to the Mideast to pressure Iran

President Donald Trump says a change in power in Iran “would be the best thing that could happen” as the U.S. administration weighs whether to take military action against Tehran. Trump made the comments shortly after visiting with troops at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, on Friday and after he confirmed earlier in the day that he’s deploying a second aircraft carrier group to the Mideast for potential military action against Iran. Trump said the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, is being sent from the Caribbean Sea to the Mideast to join other warships and military assets the U.S. has built up in the region.

Prospects of #Saudi ties to #Israel elusive as #Trump seeks $1 trillion bonanza

When Trump lands in #Riyadh on Tues, he will be greeted w/opulent ceremonies, gilded palaces & the prospect of $1 trillion in investments. But, the raging #war in #Gaza has denied him one goal he has long craved: Saudi-Israel normalization.

Trump’s plan to use Elon Musk’s DOGE to slash federal jobs reeks of corruption and self-dealing. Firing workers with cryptocurrency? It’s a dangerous mix of tech exploitation and conflict of interest. #Project2025 #Corruption #ConflictOfInterest #DOGE #SelfEnrichmentfortune.com/2025/03/25/t...

Pete Buttigieg is a smart man.
Sad to see there will be no "big deal" and investing in Americas infrastructure with the new president. Only self-enrichment.
