Look, I'm seeing this from the inside, and am admittedly biased towards our president (and my friend), but there's a lot of crazy stuff on social media, so I wanted to address some things directly on the Iran issue:

First, POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy team to reach a deal with the Iranians to accomplish this goal. The president has made clear that Iran cannot have uranium enrichment. And he said repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways--the easy way or the "other" way.

Second, I've seen a lot of confusion over the issue of "civilian nuclear power" and "uranium enrichment." These are distinct issues. Iran could have civilian nuclear power without enrichment, but Iran rejected that. Meanwhile, they've enriched uranium far above the level necessary for any civilian purpose. They've been found in violation of their non-proliferation obligations by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is hardly a rightwing organization.

It's one thing to want civilian nuclear energy. It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capacity. And it's still another to cling to enrichment while simultaneously violating basic non-proliferation obligations and enriching right to the point of weapons-grade uranium.

I have yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. I've yet to see a single good argument for why Iran was justified in violating its non-proliferation obligations. I've yet to see a single good pushback against the IAEA's findings.

Meanwhile, the president has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our military's focus on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens.

He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president. And of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy.

But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue. And having seen this up close and personal, I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people's goals. Whatever he does, that is his focus.

I'm proud to announce with @SecKennedy and @DrJayBhattacharya that the Trump Administration is launching a program to study long-term health effects of the chemical spill in East Palestine, OH and help residents access the care they need.

East Palestine, we will never forget you.

Two thoughts this morning:

The operation last night is an incredible testament to American pilots and other service members, from General Caine and General Kurilla on down.

While the media has attacked the president's senior team relentlessly, and tried to sow fake division, last night would have been impossible without perfect coordination and discretion from the president's national security team. I'm incredibly proud of them, and I know the president is, too.

"We do not want war with Iran. We actually want peace, but we want peace in the context of them not having a nuclear weapons program — and that's exactly what the President accomplished last night."

“The way you achieve peace is through strength...you can't sit there and allow the Iranians to achieve a nuclear weapon and expect that's going to lead to peace.”

This is such a revealing clip. The American media is full of the least curious, least insightful people in our country.

To recap, an out of context, "low confidence" and incomplete intelligence report was selectively leaked to the media. The media reported on the findings without any real effort to figure out whether they represent any part of (much less the full) truth. The way the media has presented the report is contradicted by the IAEA, the Iranians themselves, and the administration's political and defense leadership. More importantly, the media's reports are contradicted by common sense.

To summarize: a dozen 30,000-pound bunker busters were dropped on Iran's main nuclear site. (The other two sites that were targeted suffered heavy damage too). No one disputes they hit their targets. No one disputes the explosive or destructive power of the weapons. No one disputes that a week ago, Iran could have easily assembled a nuclear weapon and now they can't.

The entire debate--even accepting the press's dishonest framing--is not about whether Iran can now build a nuke. They can't. It's about how much rebuilding the Iranians would have to do in order to achieve a nuclear weapon. In other words, after a wildly successful military operation with no American casualties, the American media is trying to blame Donald Trump for the existence of facilities *that haven't even been built yet.*

(Set to the side Iran's willingness to rebuild their program. As the President himself said, they now know there are serious consequences for rebuilding. They also learned that we can very easily set their progress back.)

There is actually an interesting story here, if the media was interested in telling it. Why are members of the intelligence community leaking incomplete reports against the elected leadership of the country? Why have the same reporters who have gotten so much wrong learned so little? What is the purpose of these leaks--who is behind them, and what are they trying to achieve?

The media won't investigate that story, though it would be in the public interest to do so. So pay attention to the reporters who are laundering talking points from junior careerists in the intelligence community.

President Trump has obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. The American media seems destined to obliterate their own credibility on this fake story.

. Pete Hegseth just DESTROYED the FAKE NEWS by calling out their LIES after they tried to SMEAR @POTUS and EMBARRASS OUR AMAZING WARFIGHTERS.

A huge rulling by the Supreme Court, smacking down the ridiculous process of nationwide injunctions. Under our system, everyone has to follow the law--including judges!

Hello Republicans👋,
Telegram is the only platform that has allowed me to share all my information without censorship.

So buckle up, get ready to expand your mind, and see the truth. We will be exposing them all, the Satanists, Pedophiles and Child Traffickers!

"Americans are finally getting what they voted for. No longer will we have rogue judges striking down @POTUS' policies across the entire nation — NO LONGER!"

The thing that will bankrupt this country more than any other policy is flooding the country with illegal immigration and then giving those migrants generous benefits.

The OBBB fixes this problem. And therefore it must pass.

Massive tax cuts, especially no tax on tips and overtime. And most importantly, big money for border security.

This is a big win for the American people.

Our nation's heart breaks for the victims in Texas and their families. Just an incomprehensible tragedy.

I hope everyone affected knows they're in the prayers of my family, and of millions of Americans.

***Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.***

Usha and I brought the kids to Mt. Rushmore yesterday as we all get ready to celebrate Independence Day.

Today, we're also celebrating passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which will increase take home pay for families all across America.

.@POTUS says he signed around a dozen letters, set to go out on Monday, notifying certain countries of their tariffs: "Different amounts of money, different amounts of tariffs, and somewhat different statements"
