Trump:

I can do whatever I want.

Trump:

I’ve had my shot, and still do, at Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Hussein Obama.

And I’ve had plenty of people say, “Let’s go get them.” I said, “No, you can’t do that to the presidency.”

Q: Have you spoken with Putin yet?

Trump: I have a call set up today. It’s Putin’s birthday. I’m sure you’re going to celebrate it.

Trump on Switzerland:

Trump’s decision to move U.S. bombers from RAF Fairford over terror threats has raised UK concerns that Iran and Russia could be encouraged to use criminal proxies to disrupt Western military operations.

Limited U.S.-UK communication over the withdrawal also caused confusion, with former RAF commander Greg Bagwell calling its handling “very damaging” to perceptions of UK base security.

Hegseth does two push-ups after learning that USS Lincoln sailors performed better than he thought they had.

Hegseth on Iran:

We made an arrangement with the Iranian Navy. We decided to share the ocean with them. They got the bottom half.

Hegseth:

There were a few folks in the media who tried to turn USS Abraham Lincoln into some sort of a symbol of low morale or a failed mission.

When I talk to you, I know it’s the exact opposite.

Trump on Iran:

Their whole country is wiped out.

Trump on Poland:

I love the people of Poland. I endorsed their president.

Q: Türkiye and Pakistan agreed to send military forces to Saudi Arabia as part of the Mecca Alliance.

Trump:

I spoke with Netanyahu, and I wished him well, and I wished the people of Israel well.

The other side is paying a very big price for what they did on October 7, believe me.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir:

We are too soft. That is my argument with Netanyahu.

If someone threatens my son’s life while he is serving in the military, erase the house that person comes out of.

And if you have a daughter who is a soldier, I want to protect her so that not a single hair on her head is harmed — let 1,000 terrorists die.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir:

First of all, a desire for revenge is not a bad thing. I’m not against it.

When you’re the crazy one, when you’re the boss, when you’re tough, they say, "Wait, wait — it’s not worth messing with them."
