Trump defends Iran war in interviews as strikes continue
Donald Trump defended U.S. military actions and said his negotiating role was critical while Israel and Iran traded strikes across the region. Tehran fired volleys of missiles toward Israel, and Israeli interceptors engaged those rockets after Iran said it was retaliating for recent Israeli attacks on a Beirut suburb. The escalation is already affecting global commerce, with the International Air Transport Association projecting airline profits will fall roughly 50 percent to $23 billion this year due to higher fuel costs.
Trump in an interview to FT: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept whatever deal the US negotiates with Iran. “I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.”
Trump spoke shortly after Iran launched a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel in the most serious breach of the ceasefire that was struck in early April. Trump said that Iran’s strikes had not changed his desire to conclude US-Iran negotiations.
We all know that the opposite of any such declarative sentence is what is true.
So Netanyahu is calling the shots.
It's cute that he thinks that.
Netanyahu’s relationship with Trump reminds me of that one fable: “The frog and the guy who loved smashing frogs with hammers”
NBC's tense Trump interview jumped from Iran to Jan. 6, then ended suddenly
is it really that hard for you to just say he’s fucking insane??
If by tense you mean not answering the question and blaming Biden again then, I guess
Tense? He threw a baby fit when called on his blatant, tired, election lies. Holy shit it’s on tape, Axios.
You mean mad man made unsubstantiated allegations, was asked for evidence and stropped off
Crazy that it just “ended”, like magic, and not for any other obvious reason
He stormed out like a peevish bitch. Jesus Christ. My toddler could recount this more accurately
#WELKER: Do you think anyone who attacked cops on J6 should get taxpayer money? #TRUMP: I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I'd have to see. They had #FBI agents ushering them into the building W: There's NO evidence of that T: Try looking at the tapes. Many of those people should be compensated
Like a true malignant narcissist. Attack the person asking questions. Then get up and walk out when you can’t take the heat. Or be able to answer without lying. He’s a grifter. He’s a pedo. He’s a misogynist POS. That’s all you need to learn about this interview.
“Ended suddenly?” You mean when Trump threw his microphone on the floor in a fit of anger and stormed off like a 2 year old. As the pod people say, “play the tape.”
Where is the evidence of election fraud, guys? Where is it? Have there been any prosecutions? Where the fuck is the evidence?
Tramp is a vile pathetic pos Journalists need to stand together to hold him to account and to STOP this completely unacceptable misogynistic behaviour
I didn't end suddenly. Addlepated liar had a tantrum, called her names, and stormed off.
An interview with this clown is for entertainment purposes only. Anything he says is either a lie or an insult towards the interviewer. So embarrassing and dangerous.
Tense? Tell it like it is instead of sane washing it. He had a meltdown.
Now imagine the full interview had proceeded as planned, that Trump didn't end it early, and Welker got to ask all her questions. Does any serious person think a full interview would have actually been more informative than this?
By “tense” you mean Trump became unhinged ( more than usual) and ran away.
"tense interview... ended suddenly." Erm, no. It was a madman screaming at a journalist, saying he won an election he didn't, going red (orange?) in the face, calling the journalist "crooked" and "darling", calling every media outlet "crooked", and then walking out. - Medhi Hassan
TENCE!??? More like crazed maniac goes off on journalist
Can Axios be any more in the bag?
You really are ratfucking, obsequious Trump lickspittles, aren't you. WOW AN INTERVIEW ENDED SUDDENLY, MAYBE IT WAS A METEOR STRIKE.
So fun living in a country where the guy supposedly in charge behaves like a fucking spoiled child all the time. I'm utterly sick of Grampa Sundowner and his idiotic shitshow every damned day.
"tense"?... Um That was UNHINGED! My editorial skills are free of charge.
I never knew tense meant combative, misogynistic and incoherent. Thanks for the vocabulary lesson. The administration thanks you too…..for other reasons
Has anyone checked Polymarket for a large bet on the "under" for the length of the interview???
wow did the power go out or something, that’s crazy that it just ended suddenly
FFS, it didn’t “end suddenly.”
Whenever a wag says, "Trump's crushing it!", he's not assessing an occasion of rare performance excellence. No, he's commenting on the damage he's doing to a seat cushion before he rises in place and stomps out of an interview in a fit of pique.
Weak, nonsense headline that does Axios no know credit whatsoever, why follow liars when we can all see what he said and did.
And *why* did it end suddenly? C'mon, you can do it.
Hey fuckfaces, you are liars and fascist propagandists.

The dum(b)est and laziest President in history got his feelings hurt. Good. Bravo #KristenWelker. #1.29CGPA
How many hours until the FCC investigates NBC? You KNOW how thin-skinned he is.
After he calls the young lady sitting in front of him ‘stupid’. Very presidential. 🤮
