I would rather make a deal with Iran because I don't want to kill people.

Trump:

I could be the greatest communist in history.

Trump:

When I watch Abdul... he is full of shit.

Trump:

Go out and buy a Dell computer.

The radical left wants to ban a thing called gasoline.

FIFA said its leadership unanimously reaffirmed full support for President Gianni Infantino during a crisis meeting with senior officials in Morocco.

Trump on Spain:

60,000 migrants stampeded against the border, invaded and occupied the town, attacked innocent civilians, and rioted in the streets.

What they did to us during Biden was worse, and they want to do it again.

Trump:

As illegal aliens go home, the cost of rent, groceries, and others are coming down very fast.

Trump:

Some people call what's taken place a miracle.

We call it good government.

Canada's Carney on FIFA:

I don't have confidence in Mr. Infantino after this point.

Canada's Carney:

Canada is a proud member of the International Criminal Court.

We support it with funding, we support it with personnel, we support it with our values, we support it with our actions.

We will continue to do so.

Our support for the ICC is unequivocal.

Canada's Carney takes a jab at Trump:

I would like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function.

Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.

President Trump has remained in frequent contact with Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh since his appointment, an unusual level of direct communication that departs from recent precedent.

The two have discussed broad economic issues—including the impacts of the Iran war and artificial intelligence—but, according to people familiar with the conversations, not interest rates.

The relationship contrasts sharply with Trump's contentious dealings with former Chair Jerome Powell and is raising questions about the Fed's independence.

A Marine One helicopter carrying Trump came within 0.8 miles horizontally and 700 feet vertically of an Envoy Air passenger jet near Washington, D.C., on Tuesday after radio communication problems delayed coordination with air traffic control.

The FAA called it a "momentary loss of separation" and is investigating, but said the president was never in danger.

BIG: Trump confronted Defense Secretary Hegseth at Camp David over U.S. munitions shortages in the Iran conflict, furious he’d been told the problem was fixed.

Hegseth blamed his deputy.

The White House and Pentagon deny it ever happened.

Trump:

The U.S. has massive amounts of “munitions,” especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed.

Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history.

The “leakers” of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought!

JD Vance on Israel:

Netanyahu didn't confront me. We had a nice and frank conversation.

As I said repeatedly, Israel has been a great partner. They're an ally of the United States of America. Like France or Britain or any other ally of the United States, we sometimes have differences of opinion.

And I think that the American media is fascinated by this dynamic. The reality is, my job is to pursue the interests of no other nation on Earth except for the United States of America.

So when our interests are aligned with Israel, we talk about how to accomplish those shared objectives. When my viewpoint is adverse to the Prime Minister of Israel, we have a frank conversation about that.

I describe it as a pleasant but direct conversation. I didn't feel confronted.

JD Vance on Iran:

Number one, the Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people. Number two, they have a fractured system.

There are people within their system that want the war to be over and also people in their system that are crazy radicals that want it to continue.

Our job is to navigate through that and get the best outcome for the American people and for the President of the United States as well.

I think where we'll land—it's going to be messy and take time to get there—but we'll land. Oil was $79 today. The oil prices will come down and stay down.

Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and the United States will be in a stronger position. We're in the middle of the game. People are trying to prejudge exactly how this is going to go.

I can tell you with confidence it's going to go in a place that is good for the United States of America. But we're going to use all the tools that we have—military, economic, diplomatic—to make sure we bring this thing to the right resolution.

JD Vance:

What I do think is interesting is that you have people who will attack what the President of the United States has said, but they don't want to use his name because they know that the President of the United States is too big of a fish for them.

They'll come after me.

JD Vance:

Forty years of bad economic policy—you won't see it fixed in 18 months.
