Trump on Egyptian President el-Sisi: "He was in a hotel and I met him. We fell in love, deeply in love ... we didn't know each other before that. We had great chemistry, and I stayed twice as long as I was supposed to."

Today I learned the Trump administration is worse at the PR war than Israel.

A serious problem Trump faces now is that many, many people feel deeply betrayed by him, especially people who support Israel. Betrayal is an emotional experience, not a logical one. It cannot be fixed by logic, and its damage is usually never undone.

Dan Bongino says classified intelligence showed Iran posed far more than a nuclear threat, pointing to cyberattacks, assassination plots, and what he calls a regime willing to use any weapon it acquires: “If we had that Men in Black mind-wipe device and could read everyone into the President’s Daily Brief every morning, I promise you that even some of his most hardcore critics would say, ‘Wow, he definitely made the right call.’ I’m limited in what I can say, but I’ll tell you this: it wasn’t just the nuclear threat that was urgent. It was the cyber threat the Iranians were engaged in, the lethal plotting, and the assassination attempts. And I want everyone listening to remember this: they do not subscribe to the idea of mutually assured destruction. They do not act with the same logic or restraint as other adversaries. Even Putin, however dangerous he may be, does not want a nuclear weapon hitting Moscow. But the Iranians, in my view, are different. It is a bloodthirsty theocracy. If you give them the ability to kill us—if you hand them the gun—they’re going to use it.”

The leaked Iran deal that is floating around suggests that this is a pretty simple transaction: we are paying Iran billions to reopen the Strait. Period. Stop. That's probably why they are refusing to release it.

NEW: US negotiators are working to quickly release the text of the agreement between Washington & Tehran, even as they downplay the significance of the specific language in the document, US officials tell me @Kevinliptakcnn The officials described the text of the MOU as incredibly vague, mainly intended to create a more favorable environment for the highly technical, in-person talks to come. They added that the framework is aimed at providing Iran the ability to sell it politically to their internal audience. Inside the language cnn.com/2026/06/16/politics/…

We are considering delisting the IRGC as an FTO? No way this can be true. POTUS will hear from Gold Star Families to be sure. Even Joe Biden wouldn’t let Rob Malley do that!
