Trump, once again, shows that he is all bullshit. While he claims that he is negotiating a peace deal with Iran, Israel acts on their own to attack Iran today, while completely ignoring whatever it was Trump was claiming he was doing.
Israeli carried out a major strike against Iran intending to cripple the country’s nuclear program. Iran retaliation expected

The common drumbeat on Trump's tariffs is that most everything will be more expensive for consumers. More important is that American dominance in the global marketplace will be permanently lost to China.

A Press Secretary who doesn’t know anything about anything except a handful of talking points, doesn’t prepare for briefings, whose reflex when she doesn’t know about a subject is always to attack the media outlet. At least Kayleigh did her homework, despite lying a lot.
