Trump News

A new poll from NBC News revealed Sunday that support for the U.S. war against Iran has plummeted as the conflict inches closer to the two-month mark, and at such a rate that it left several critics astonished.

“It took two years for two-thirds of Americans to disapprove of Bush’s handling of Iraq. It took less than two months for the same number to disapprove of Trump’s handling of Iran,” noted historian and foreign policy analyst Stephen Wertheim, reacting to the poll in a social media post shared on X Sunday with his more than 33,000 followers.

President Donald Trump made several dozen social media posts Saturday night about everything from election fraud to his administration’s policy regarding farmers, but one post in particular sparked concern among onlookers.

The post in question was a nearly four-minute video of cultural icon Frank Sinatra performing “My Way” – among his most recognized songs and notable for its use at funerals – in 1978 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. Trump posted the video without commentary, leading many observers to voice concern due to both the song’s subject matter and the post’s ambiguity.

President Donald Trump doubled down Sunday on his long-running threats to destroy Iran’s civilian infrastructure, warning Tehran that he was ready and willing to authorize such an attack at a moment’s notice.

Trump’s latest round of threats were issued shortly after Iran shut down travel through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing two tankers to turn around early Sunday morning in opposition to the U.S. naval blockade authorized by Trump last week.

Amid the ongoing U.S. war against Iran, President Donald Trump considered awarding himself the Medal of Honor, the most prestigious military award issued by the U.S. government, White House insiders claimed in a report published Saturday evening in the Wall Street Journal.

Citing a “senior administration official” and people who have “spoken” with the president, the Journal’s report revealed that Trump had privately panicked in early April after learning of the downed U.S. fighter jet over Iran.

A former GOP speechwriter was blown away on Saturday as President Donald Trump's "strategy" to win the war in Iran appeared to backfire.

Last week, Trump announced that Iran had agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway that accounts for 20% of the world's energy, which had been closed since the war began in late February. Its closure has sent global energy prices skyrocketing, and American allies in Europe have said they may have as much as six weeks of reserve jet fuel.

An author who has written four books about President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the president's "political charm" is starting to backfire on the administration.

For years, part of Trump's appeal to voters has been that he does not course-correct when things go sideways, journalist Michael Wolff argued in a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosts with Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast. However, that strategy appears to be failing him as the administration and the Republican Party limp toward the 2026 midterms.
