Day 1892: “We’ve gotta get our priorities straight.”

Trump, bypassing Congress, ordered Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin “to immediately pay our TSA Agents”; Trump, denying he was “desperate” to make a deal with Iran, said Tehran had “better get serious soon, before it is too late”; the Iran war and higher energy prices will push U.S. inflation to 4.2% this year; Trump interrupted a Cabinet meeting discussing the war in Iran, long security lines at airports, and rising oil prices to explain how he’s replaced White House pens with custom black-and-gold Sharpies; Trump’s signature will be added to U.S. dollars to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence; and despite referring to the mail voting as “mail-in cheating,” Trump defended voting by mail in Florida’s special election, saying “because I’m president” and “I had a lot of different things” to do.
