Description
At 6:20 PM, Donald Trump picked up the phone and called into the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox News Radio from the White House. Over the next 45 minutes, the President rambled from eugenics to dress shoes while the country faced active threats on its own soil.
The Breakdown:
Trump told a white interviewer that certain people do not share "your genetics," using the language of eugenics to classify human beings by their DNA on a nationally broadcast phone call from the White House.
When asked when the war in Iran would end, Trump said he would know "when I feel it in my bones" and admitted he convinces his advisors to do things his way, with no benchmarks, no timeline, and no Congressional authorization.
All six American service members aboard the KC-135 refueling plane that crashed in western Iraq on March 12 were confirmed killed, bringing the total to 13 dead and roughly 140 wounded in what Trump continues to call an "excursion."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved 2,500 additional Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the USS Tripoli to deploy to the Middle East, a clear escalation despite administration claims the war is ahead of schedule.
Trump erupted when Kilmeade asked about seizing Kharg Island, Iran's most critical oil terminal. Hours later, Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. had "totally obliterated every military target" on the island.
Trump admitted Putin is helping Iran, saying "I think he might be helping them a little bit." Russia is aiding the country our troops are fighting and dying against while Trump protects the relationship.
Trump attacked Senator Mark Kelly, a decorated combat veteran and former astronaut, calling him "pathetic" and saying "you follow him into a grave" for daring to question the war.
Three separate acts of ideologically motivated violence struck American soil this week, including a shooting at Old Dominion University, a vehicle attack at a Michigan synagogue with 140 children inside, and an ISIS-inspired explosive attack near Gracie Mansion in New York.
Trump mocked Gavin Newsom's learning disability and said a president "can't have learning disability," while struggling to complete coherent thoughts during his own 45-minute phone call.
Trump revealed he buys Florsheim dress shoes for his cabinet members because he does not like when they wear sneakers. Photos show Rubio wearing shoes that are clearly too big because no one in this administration will tell Trump anything he does not want to hear.
Chief Judge James Boasberg quashed grand jury subpoenas targeting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, ruling there was no factual basis for a criminal probe and that the subpoenas were retaliation for refusing to lower interest rates.
