Hard to believe this is from a guy who inherited $413 million from his father only to declare bankruptcy 6 times before convincing an NBC producer to bail him out by creating a fictional show that he was a successful businessman.

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are:
1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled)
2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

This thread offers 50 examples of unhinged behavior unfit for the presidency.
1. Trump blamed Rob Reiner for his own murder, citing “the anger he caused others” by criticizing Trump.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.
And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

I’ve finally read the transcript of Steve Witkoff’s long interview with Tucker Carlson about Gaza and Ukraine, which he’s supposedly negotiating on. It’s embarrassing — very little awareness of the complexities, and shockingly ignorant of detail. Carlson knows even less and can’t challenge him.
