Trump says Iran war will end ‘when I want it to’ as costs reportedly balloon to $47 billion

U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the Iran war will end “whenever I want it to,” but insists that Tehran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

Speaking at a rally in Lubbock, Texas, Trump said “Somebody asked me before, ‘When will the war in Iran end?’ I said, ‘Whenever I want it to end.’”

If he is so brilliant and perfect, that he can make the war end whenever he wants to, why hasn't he done that months ago? Well, there is one way he could make the war end on cue, surrender.

Hoof 'n mouth seems to run in this regime.

JD Vance’s ‘tinpot dictator’ excuse for skyrocketing gas prices backfires spectacularly online

Vice President JD Vance blamed high gas prices on “tin-pot dictators” during an energy speech Monday, giving online critics an opening to turn the description on President Donald Trump.

“Remember in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, and gas prices skyrocketed — they skyrocketed, by the way, far higher than they are today,” Vance said. “They skyrocketed in 1979, they skyrocketed in 2001, they skyrocketed in 2007. They skyrocket every time some tin-pot dictator decides to throw a tantrum. And we’ve got to remember that.”
