What is the use of being president if you don’t do the job as you see fit?

Weather be damned, President Trump held a rally in Oklahoma to a full house. He told the crowd, “So I was in Texas. And they said, ‘Sir, I think we’re gonna have to cancel Oklahoma.

We’re going to Oklahoma. We’re going to Oklahoma.’”

Midterms diplomacy: Iran is waiting for Democrats to take back Congress

by

But the Wall Street Journal’s spin is Trump is twisting arms to make Iran a pariah. After 47 years of Iran declaring “death to America,” the Journal should not act surprised, but it does.

by

I want to make something clear about my support for President Donald Trump. Supporting many of his policies does not mean I approve of his personality, every word that comes out of his mouth, or every person he chooses to place around him.

by

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa of California reacts to President Trump’s threats against Oman, saying the President’s comments should be taken “in context.” Issa describes the confrontation with Iran as a 47-year problem and says Trump shouldn’t feel pressured to resolve it on a political timeline, arguing that appearing to be in a hurry would play into Iran’s hands.
