Updates: Trump’s Stupid, Costly, and Deadly War with Iran:

We’re worse off than we were under Obama’s deal. Period.Trump blew up the 2015 agreement in 2018, and everything went backward.Under that deal, Iran’s enrichment was capped at 3.67%. Since it was canceled the deal, estimates are that Iran got it up to 60%. Just a step away from weapons-grade.

Trump accuses Iran of violating ceasefire, announces Monday talks in Islamabad

President Trump on Sunday accused Iran of violating the two-week ceasefire by firing at ships in the Strait of Hormuz. 

“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “That wasn’t nice, was it?”

BARTIROMO: Do you have anything to tell us about the 2020 election being rigged against President Trump? PATEL: Absolutely. I'm never going to let this go. They tried to rig the entire system. That's something I'm not going to allow. We are going to be making arrests. I promise you it's coming soon

BARTIROMO: I asked you about whether or not you have any information to verify President Trump's claim that the election was rigged KASH PATEL: We have the information that backs President Trump's claim, but I can't get ahead of the DOJ. President Trump speaks truthfully when he says that.
