1 Minute Political Update

Pope Leo XIV said Donald Trump's threat to annihilate Iran was truly unacceptable then referred to him as “una mucca grassa” (a fat cow). Soon after, Trump backed down and agreed to a two-week ceasefire during which he expects the Strait of Hormuz to reopen. And if it doesn’t, he plans to hold his breath until it does. (One can only hope.)

Donald Trump threatened Iranian leaders via Truth Social, writing, “Open the effin’ Strait you crazy bastards or you’ll be living in hell” (that should do the trick) while he claimed the feds can’t fund Medicare and Medicaid because we’re fighting wars, telling states to pony up the cash. (Clearly, he sees Americans like his contractors—people to stiff.)

The Attorney General was canned by Donald Trump and the question on everyone’s mind is: didn’t she lie enough on his behalf? Meanwhile, Trump announced he’s going to hit Iran so hard they’ll end up back in the Stone Age—and no one knows more about the Stone Age than our neanderthal president.

Donald Trump claimed opening the Strait of Hormuz is the responsibility of countries that rely on it, not the U.S.—cue the laugh track—while a judge halted construction of the White House ballroom because only Congress can approve federal property alterations. (In Trump’s defense, he’s not altering the White House, just destroying it.)

In honor of America’s 250th birthday, Donald Trump’s signature will appear on future U.S. paper currency along with the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the first time a sitting president has ever done this. It’s also the first time a sitting president has ever printed currency in his basement.

Donald Trump announced he’ll pay TSA agents who have not received a paycheck since the partial government shutdown—and by pay he means an IOU—while a 15-point U.S. peace plan was rejected out of hand by Iran because the plan was written in crayon.

A Florida state democrat flipped a house seat in a district that includes Mar-a-Lago (Trump can’t complain it was due to mail-in ballots because he used one himself) while Trump is convinced Iran will make a deal because they gave him a very big present—the Strait of Hormuz home game where he can pretend oil is flowing and gas is 22 cents a gallon.

Due to longer lines at airports, ICE agents are being sent to U.S. airports to help TSA agents even though they have no training (make sure your suitcase is documented) while Trump delighted in the death of Robert Mueller because he had the audacity to do investigate Russia interfering in the 2016 election. (A class act—Mueller, not Trum.)

In a fundraising email, Donald Trump promised donors access to national security briefings for cash (paging Benedict Arnold!). Then while meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister, Trump explained that he didn’t alert allies to the bombing of Iran because he wanted it to be a surprise, you know, like Pearl Harbor. (Read the room much?)

After being rebuffed by NATO countries to help with the Iran war, Donald Trump said we don’t need their help. (Clearly, we can screw this up on our own). Meanwhile, a federal judge temporarily blocked health officials from cutting the number of childhood vaccines, saying RFK, Jr. didn’t base his decision on science. (There’s an understatement.)
