President Donald Trump admitted he voted for a Democrat in the most recent Palm Beach, Florida, municipal elections, according to a new report.

Speaking to a crowd of supporters at Trump National Doral Miami, Trump said he voted for Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, a Democrat, because "he’s kept Palm Beach safe for a lot of years," MeidasTouch reported. Those comments stand in stark contrast to Trump's public comments about Democrats, whom he has described as "scum," "vermin," and "animals."

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy seemed to tire of President Donald Trump's doublespeak on the Iran conflict and pressed him to define the operation.

"And we did a little excursion. We had to take this little couple of weeks, a few weeks of excursion, but it's been incredible," Trump said while touring a factory in Ohio on Wednesday. "Our military is unbelievable, the job they're doing. I would say, to put it mildly, way ahead of schedule. We've knocked out their Navy, their military in it, all forms. We've knocked out just about everything there is, including their leadership, twice. We knocked out twice their leadership."

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum dismissed environmentalists' concerns by telling investment firm BlackRock that people who want to protect public lands were not "financially literate."

During the BlackRock infrastructure summit in Washington on Wednesday, the host complained to Burgum about how long it takes to get permits approved.

President Donald Trump renewed his attacks against Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) en route to a speech in his home district.

The president lashed out at the Kentucky Republican for the second time Wednesday on Truth Social ahead of a visit to Hebron, in Massie's 4th congressional district, and Reading, Ohio, about a half hour north, lumping the congressman in with fellow GOP rebels Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and Marjorie Taylor Greene as "misfits and losers."

President Donald Trump claimed not to know that the U.S. military determined that it was responsible for killing about 150 people in the accidental bombing of an Iranian girls' school.

"Day 11, and as you know, we're doing something that nobody ever thought was possible to do," Trump announced to reporters outside the White House on Wednesday. "Our military is the best, it's the most powerful in the world, and they're hitting them very hard."

One of President Donald Trump's stated objectives for the war in Iran hasn't historically been considered a priority.

The 79-year-old president told Axios in a brief phone interview Wednesday that there is "practically nothing left to target," so he believes the war with Iran would end "soon," but one of the accomplishments he cited might come as a surprise to military officials.

A coalition of peace groups on Wednesday launched a new national campaign calling for the top Democrats in Congress—Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries—to resign from their leadership roles, citing their failure to sufficiently fight back “against a war-crazed Trump administration.”

The coalition, which includes Peace Action and RootsAction, launched a petition declaring that it is “time for congressional Democrats to replace Schumer and Jeffries with leaders who are willing and able to challenge the runaway militarism that has dragged our country into launching yet another insanely destructive war,” this time against Iran.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) had an angry confrontation with an NBC film crew after he changed course on his support for the filibuster to attempt to push through a voting bill backed by President Donald Trump.

In a Wednesday op-ed for the New York Post, Cornyn admitted that he had changed his mind on the filibuster as he was hoping for an endorsement from the president in his tight Senate race.

The U.S. military seemingly contradicted President Donald Trump's assertion that some other country was to blame for a deadly airstrike on an Iranian elementary school.

An ongoing military investigation has determined that U.S. forces fired a Tomahawk missile on Feb. 28 that struck Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school, killing 175 people, most of them children, despite the president's suggestion that Iran fired the munition, reported the New York Times.
