A president who treats taxpayer money as private wealth. Senators screaming at the attorney general behind closed doors. The Republicans are apparently getting nervous. Trump’s power apparatus is reaching its limits. Read the entire analysis here.

The US President has defended the negotiations with Iran and sharply attacked critics of his policies. “It’s not even fully negotiated yet,” wrote Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform about a possible peace agreement with Tehran. “So don’t listen to the losers who criticize something they know nothing about.”

The two war opponents could probably agree on an extended ceasefire, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the repayment of frozen assets to Iran.

After the first reports about the agreement, the White House and US Republicans attacked each other on social media, sometimes with vulgar insults.

They are now being sent out to lead, “we are sending you out to form warriors, and we may be sending you to war – you are ready,” added Hegseth, whom the Trump administration renamed Secretary of War and the Defense Department renamed War Department.
