"Trump tells reporters the "ultimate option" is among the options he is considering for Iran."

All about starting a war to get re-elected and damn the consequences.

I do like some of the comments, though.

'Speaking with reporters on Air Force One before his two-day visit to the Golden State, the president lashed out at homeless people who he said were living in the nation’s “best highways, our best streets, our best entrances to buildings … where people in those buildings pay tremendous taxes, where they went to those locations because of the prestige”.'

Donald Trump’s luxury helicopter charter plans fail to take off

It was billed by Donald Trump as an “incredible” way to tour his golf resorts in the UK and Ireland, with well-heeled guests being whizzed back and forth across the Irish Sea and all around Scotland while revelling in the kind of opulence to which the US president has long been accustomed.

But Mr Trump’s bold vision of bolstering business at three of his loss making courses by exporting one of his luxury helicopters across the Atlantic to woo wealthy golfers has failed to take off.

So no one is naming this 'foreign official' I see. Anyone want to guess? I'll give you a clue....it starts with 'Pu' and ends with 'tin'.

Will this be another '24 hour wonder'? Another story that gets buried as part of Scrotus' 'Operation Wag the Dog'?

“It’s very easy, actually, to work with me. You know why it’s easy? Because I make all the decisions. They don’t have to work,” Trump told reporters last Friday as he explained why being his national security adviser, in his mind, is now a low-key post.

An unshackled Trump finally gets the presidency he always wanted
No longer hemmed in by aides, Trump has bent the presidency into the mold of the Trump Organization.

Just call him "Little Anthony".

And scream quietly because we don't want to upset him.
