As expected, President Trump reposted my tweet below, backing Ambassador Tom Barrack, again
Here's the backstory, because it gives you an idea of how people keep trying to sabotage Trump
โขโ โ Last year, I interviewed Ambassador and Special Presidential Envoy Tom Barrack about the Lebanon-Israel war
โขโ โ Several right wing pro-Israel mounthpieces, who many people ASSUME are close to Trump, went on the attack trying to bring down Tom, falsely claiming Trump wants him fired
Their reason?
He wasn't pro-Israel enough
โขโ โ What did Trump do? He promoted Tom with more territory oversight and directly appointed him as Presidential Special Envoy this year
โขโ โ Days ago, I interviewed Tom again about the unprovoked Israeli strike on Syria (a warning to Turkey). Tom spoke the truth about exactly what happened
โขโ โ Again, he wasn't pro-Israel enough, so ultra right wing pro-Israel pundits and their influencer gangs went on the attack
โขโ โ In response, Trump reposted my post defending Tom Barrack's achievements in the region
Why am I telling you all this:
Trump is surrounded by people who pull him in different directions, on behalf of other countries and special interest groups.
Trump's support for Ambassador Tom Barrack is a testament to his determination to back people based on meritocracy, with an America First mindset.
๐ต๐ฐ Pakistan has put a record $10B request on the table in Washington.
FM Aurangzeb is seeking a 5-year U.S. Treasury stabilization facility to strengthen reserves, stabilize the rupee, and reduce reliance on recurring rollovers from Saudi and China.
Pakistanโs mediation between Washington and Tehran has warmed ties with the Trump administration.
Talks are ongoing. If approved, it would mark a major shift toward U.S. financial backing.
If not, Pakistan stays trapped in the same cycle of emergency top-ups.
๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ท Trump said today that the U.S. Navy has cleared all mines from the Strait of Hormuzโs main shipping lane.
This is terrific news for oil tankers.
The months-long removal was a low-key operation that sinks some of Iranโs leverage over global energy markers.
The clearing also has the potential for Trump to test the waters on a favorable resolution to the current conflict with Iran.
In a Truth Social post, Trump declared that "Iran has been notified that any ship or boat placing new mines will be 'immediately and systematically destroyed.'"
Iran has deployed dozens of mines in the straitโs median lane during the war.
The danger to ships has affected the global flow of oil and natural gas.
Canโt hit the road when OPEC+ ships are stuck on the water.
Canada has announced retaliatory tariffs on roughly $20 billion of U.S. imports, matching Washingtonโs new tariffs dollar-for-dollar.
The measures target around 700 products, including steel, aluminum, furniture, clothing, electronics, appliances and other consumer goods. The tariffs are set to take effect September 8.
The North American trade war just escalated another notch.
Because apparently decades of economic integration were merely an elaborate prelude to a tariff slap fight.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe is the person who traveled aboard the U.S. C-17 to Moscow today, per sources.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov initially claimed to have "no information" regarding the aircraft or its passengers, highlighting the extreme secrecy...
But at the same time, flying a heavy U.S. military asset directly into Moscow's Vnukovo Airport was always going to be visible.
Trump: โThe United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake Americaโ
This stupid clown is panicking and starting to realize he got us into a stupid trade war he canโt win that will cost Republicans the Senate, so now heโs trying to pressure Canada into surrendering with a threat to rename Lake Ontario โLake America.โ
Obama has just dropped the biggest bombshell on Trump ๐
๐บ๐ธ Obama: "We have handed all the powers to a fool who is making U.S. policy friendlier to our enemies, North Korea and Russia, and cutting ties with our friends, Canada." ๐ฅ
๐บ๐ธTRUMP: "Zohran Mamdani is a 100% communist lunatic. Heโs terrible.
๐บ๐ธBIDEN: "Enough. I see a leader in Mamdani. He made promises and kept them. Lower rent. Co-op groceries. Thatโs all people care about not about your illegal wars."๐ฅ
Zohran Mamdani canโt become president, but he is already the most popular leader in the US ๐ช
๐จ๐ฆCarney: "Canada is not for sale. We will match the U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar. We will impose counter-tariffs on 700 products, including steel, aluminum, furniture, clothing, and electronics, $27.6 billion of imports from the U.S." ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Trump has been the biggest disaster for America's foreign policy.
