'Amazing': Trump claims he received a 'very big' gift from Iran

03/24/26 7:16 PM

President Donald Trump claimed to have received a "very big present" from the leaders of Iran.During a Tuesday press conference at the White House, Trump was asked who his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and special envoy Steve Witkoff were negotiating with to end the war with Iran."We killed all their leadership, and then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them," Trump noted. "And now we have a new group, and we can easily do that, but let's see how they turn out."The president claimed that he had accomplished "regime change" in Iran."This is regime change, right?" he said. "They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually. They gave us a present. And the present arrived today. It was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money.""And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize," he added. "And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me. We're dealing with the right people."Trump said the "present" was not related to Iran's nuclear capabilities."It was oil and gas related," he explained. "And it was a very nice thing they did. But what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people. Because, you know, you don't know, because the leadership was killed. All gone.""But we're dealing with a group of people that I think turned out. And the present — the gift they made to us was very significant. And they said they were going to do it, and it happened. And they're the only ones that could have done it."

'Disgrace!' White House lashes out at defecting Trump official's 'laughable' claim

03/25/26 6:49 PM

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was irritated on Wednesday after a reporter mentioned Joe Kent — the top Trump intelligence official who resigned after claiming President Donald Trump changed his story on the Iran war.Leavitt was responding to a reporter's question during a White House press briefing and had a sharp reaction to the comments from Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center and close MAGA ally who stepped down last week from his role. Kent has said that Iran "posed no imminent threat to our nation" and that the president acted under "pressure from Israel.""Joe Kent said that the president's red line shifted from 'Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon' to 'Iran cannot pursue nuclear enrichment.' What is the administration's response to that criticism?" the reporter asked. Leavitt had a strong response to Kent's comments. "I think the president and I have both strongly responded to the criticism by Mr. Kent, who unfortunately resigned in disgrace and accused the president of basically being controlled by foreign countries and foreign manipulation, which is a ridiculous and laughable assertion," Leavitt said. "So his accusations have zero credibility as far as this White House is concerned." The reporter pressed further, "the question of the red line shifting from no nuclear weapon to no nuclear enrichment, is there any substance to that argument?"Leavitt pushed back on the question. "I think the president has been quite clear on what he wants to see from the Iranian regime, which is why he chose to launch Operation Epic Fury in the first place," Leavitt said.Q: Joe Kent said the president's red line shifted from 'Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon' to 'Iran cannot pursue nuclear enrichment.' What is the president's response?LEAVITT: Mr Kent resigned in disgrace. He has 0 credibilityQ: But the question of the red line shifting?… pic.twitter.com/3mdhr5pKJB— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 25, 2026

'Finish the job': MAGA fans revolt as Trump calls off the dogs on Iran

03/23/26 12:06 PM

More than a few of Donald Trump’s supporters were displeased early Monday morning after the president called off imminent attacks on Iran’s power plants as discussions took place aimed at ending the war.In an all-caps Truth Social announcement, that was reposted moments later to fix multiple typos, the president declared, in part, “I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS.”That did not sit well with some MAGA fans who voiced their unhappiness on Truth Social.Retired Air Force veteran Birdnut implored, “Please dont let this drag on like Ukraine. Pauses do not benefit anyone but the enemy.”“Any kind of agreement with the Islamic Republic is a betrayal of the people of Iran. If the Republic survives, it will massacre the people just as it is executing them every day. And be sure that if it survives, it is a wounded snake that will seek revenge on the world as soon as it comes to its senses,”warned Mina45.Viji demanded, “Finish the job.”“Don’t believe a word they say!!!!” wrote patriot4ever45 to which Ceyberdog added, “Don’t trust these people!!!! Only a complete surrender is acceptable…. Have been negotiating for 47 years and they do not abide.”FlyingFox advised, “I wouldn’t believe a word the Iranians have said - any agreement will be broken within hours - blame will then be laid at the feet of Israel and the U.S. The world press will then write another fake news report blaming President Trump. The merry go round starts again! Appeasement doesn’t work with Terrorists! Nothing short of total destruction has any future benefit regrettably!”“Please don't negotiate with the Islamic regime terrorists. Finish the job, Mr. President. clean up those jihadists from the earth. end this dictatorship and let the world and Iranians to breath!” added MiladDev.Misaelmesa pointed out, “That wicked regime will not back down; they are merely stalling for time to regroup. You must press on to the very end, granting no quarter to those damned Satanists.”“If they're [sic] capability of developing a nuclear bomb is not completely halted, then we have lost,” lamented SallySunshine75.

'He's talking about the ballroom': CNN anchor sums up Trump's wartime cabinet meeting

03/26/26 4:36 PM

CNN's Wolf Blitzer returned from a commercial break to summarize the multiple topics President Donald Trump addressed during his latest cabinet meeting on Thursday. The 79-year-old president addressed a variety of topics after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth provided a rosy update on the war in Iran, and Blitzer caught viewers up to speed before returning to the meeting at the White House."Welcome back, we're continuing to follow the news over at the White House, the cabinet meeting," Blitzer said. "The president over the last several minutes has been getting into all sorts of other issues beyond the war with Iran, beyond the TSA lines at the airports. He's talking about the ballroom that he's building at the White House, talking about the new Trump Kennedy Center building that he wants to close for two years and then rebuild. Talking about all sorts of other issues, going after Democrats at the same time. Let's go back to the cabinet."CNN cut back to Trump, who embarked on a four-minute tale about ink pens, with a brief discursion into his ongoing grievances against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and renovations at the central bank's headquarters, and the entire room burst into laughter as he wrapped up his story and handed off to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent."Well, sir, as always, you're a tough act to follow," Bessent said."All right," Blitzer said, as producers cut away. "We're going to continue to monitor this cabinet meeting. Scott Bessent, the treasury secretary, just beginning his remarks, heard from the president. It's been going on now for almost an hour. We'll take another quick break." - YouTube youtu.be

'It's not going to be pretty': Trump's frustration with Iran finally boils over

03/26/26 11:32 AM

Donald Trump’s promises that negotiations with Iran are going well have been falling flat and he appears to have lost patience.Earlier in the week, the president postponed plans to conduct wide-range bombing of Iran’s energy infrastructure because he said he saw an opening in negotiations — a claim Iran quickly refuted.On Thursday morning, the president lost his temper on Truth Social.“The Iranian negotiators are very different and ‘strange.’ They are ‘begging’ us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only “looking at our proposal.” WRONG!!! They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty! President DJT,” he wrote.That came just moments after he snarled, “NATO NATIONS HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP WITH THE LUNATIC NATION, NOW MILITARILY DECIMATED, OF IRAN. THE U.S.A. NEEDS NOTHING FROM NATO, BUT “NEVER FORGET” THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT IN TIME! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

'Put America first!' CPAC attendee 'not happy at all' with Trump

03/26/26 6:29 PM

CNN's Donie O'Sullivan talked to one attendee at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, who slammed President Donald Trump over his war in Iran."I'm at CPAC in Dallas," O'Sullivan explained on Thursday. "It's the biggest conservative conference in the country. And lots of people here are talking about the war in Iran. Trump is not speaking at this event this year.""But in the past, when he has spoken here, he's talked a lot about not starting new wars," he noted.Attendee Alex Stone told O'Sullivan that he was "not happy" with Trump because of the war."I'm not happy. I'm not happy at all. I mean, President Trump ran on no new wars," he explained. "I feel like we've been co-opted into a war that shouldn't be ours. It should be Israel's."Do you still support him? the CNN correspondent wondered."I want him to succeed," Stone hedged. "I think it's to be determined on, you know, if I can remain to support him. We'll see how the next six months go, and I'll see what happens.""We hear the phrase America first," he added. "Let's put America first."However, many CPAC attendees still supported the president."This is not a war," Shawn Michael insisted. "Oh my God, I absolutely support the president of the United States of America!"
