’war is about to end – and then tell a Fox reporter he’s going to"bomb the s—- out of them"? Why does he insist on putting an unqualified housing hack in charge of national intelligence despite an outcry from his own party? White House President Donald Trump is taking a big swing at a lasting peace deal with Iran giving up its nuclear weapons aspirations.

The opposition, led by the courts, has blocked much of what the president wants to do. His name is coming off thewere so upset with his temporary appointment of Bill Pulte, who launched mortgage fraud investigations of Trump’s enemies, as director of national intelligence that they refused to renew an expiring domestic surveillance law.

After digging in, the president bowed to political reality yesterday and nominated Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan.uproar as a"hoax" perpetrated by the Democrats and a few renegade Republicans. But he and his team were privately obsessed with the scandal, according to a new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The Department of Justice released a trove of Epstein documents on Dec. 19 following President Trump's signature on the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November.

Trump refused to do what most advisers were urging him to do, which was to get ahead of the Epstein disclosures before Congress made the files public. He insisted his MAGA base was behind him, when in fact many of its members were angry over his past ties to the late pedophile and complaining of a coverup. on Tuesday.

But when late ballots boosted his candidate, former Fox host Steve Hilton, into one of two November slots, he took credit for it. TRUMP, DEMOCRATS LOCKED IN ENDLESS CYCLES OF PAYBACK AFTER COMEY INDICTMENT AND TARGETING PRESIDENT'S ENEMIES In fact, Trump’s insistence, a half-dozen years later, that he actually won the 2020 election, despite never providing a shred of evidence in court, remains a classic example of him seeing the world as he wants it to be.

The same goes for thethat he is trying to recast as patriots. That was the impetus for the $1.8-billion"anti-weaponization" fund, to get money into their pockets, although we all watched on live television as many of them attacked police officers and threatened lawmakers. Now, why would the president make the politically clunky comment that"I love the inflation"? Especially when the annual rate just surged to 4.2 percent, the highest in three years?

Trump’s explanation:"Do you know we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn’t know about it? Iran — until right now.

"The war offers the most vivid illustration of Trump’s fierce tendency to see a foggy picture through blurry glasses. For more than two months, the president has declared again and again that he was close to making a, that they were desperate for an agreement, that he was giving the mullahs a few more days. And yet no deal emerged.

Instead, the administration and Tehran wound up trading bombing attacks in the wake of the downing of a U.S. helicopter, with the crew quite fortunately rescued. Yet Trump clung to the fiction of an The problem was"fake news," he said. The media are"crooked," he said.

"The New York Times writes stories like they’re doing great, and they’re not," he said of Iran. He included CNN and MSNOW in that indictment. WHY TRUMP IS DENOUNCING THE MEDIA’S IRAN WAR COVERAGE AS TOO NEGATIVE – BOOSTED BY RHETORICAL FCC BACKING While media hostility toward Trump has influenced some war coverage, what I’ve seen most recently is an attempt to reflect the zig-zag nature of Trump’s actions and pronouncements on Iran.

If Iran’s defenses are so depleted, as Trump says virtually every day, how did the terror state manage to shoot down an Army helicopter? TRUMP PIVOTS ON STRIKES WHILE DANGLING IRAN DEAL, TESTING WHETHER TEHRAN BLINKS "I don’t know that America has the stomach for it…I think they’d like to see us come home," he told Fox.

"I’m not sure the country has the appetite for it. "TRUMP PUSHED IRAN TO THE BRINK — BUT DID WE WIN ANYTHING THAT LASTS?. His heart wasn’t in it. That’s not how he wants to be remembered by history.

It’s always been a pressure tactic. None of this is exactly helping the Republicans keep control of the House in the midterms. But if Trump gets out of Iran, even with an arrangement that is sharply criticized for not definitively ruling out nuclear weapons, the country may move on and the environment may feel very different in November.

The overriding question is whether the president will see his preferred vision of the world or recognize the actual landscape with all its roadblocks and frustrations.
