Between Versailles victory laps, he warns he 'will, sadly, be the last Republican President' unless the filibuster goes

He spent the day celebrating the Iran agreement signed at Versailles, sharing a TV segment that called him "the boss" and ending one post with "YOU'RE WELCOME!" The celebration kept stopping so he could hit back at critics. People who said he went easy on Iran were "jealous, bad people, or stupid," and a reported $300 billion payment to Iran was "Fake News." Batches of look-alike endorsements, from Utah congressmen to a Colombian presidential candidate, filled the overnight hours, and he never went long enough without posting to have had a normal night's sleep. The sharpest moment came in the afternoon. A complaint about mail ballots in Utah became, within minutes, a post calling anyone who won't scrap the filibuster "a FOOL" and warning he would "sadly" be the last Republican president.

Five sessions around a short night

The first post, a Fox primetime clip (ts_116768373188854516), has him "just landed in Paris after the G7" and on his way to "Versailles for dinner." The last one (ts_116773601993335103) is a photograph of him holding a signed page up to the camera in a hall with checkerboard marble and a chandelier. Nothing in between shows where he was. The post-level analyses read the clock in Eastern Time, so the times below are EDT (UTC−4). Where Paris time would change the answer, it is given too.

On that clock the 36 posts run from 8:52 PM on June 17 to 7:02 PM on June 18:

EDT	Posts	What filled it
8:52 PM – 12:31 AM	15	Versailles clips, endorsements, praise from others, Intel
2:44 – 4:32 AM	10	Ballroom lawsuit, a seven-post burst, "These fools"
8:57 – 9:59 AM	3	Pope Leo and Newsom links, "YOU'RE WELCOME!"
12:44 – 2:24 PM	6	$300 billion denial, peace appeal, Utah, filibuster
7:01 – 7:02 PM	2	Oklahoma endorsement, signing photo

The two overnight breaks last 2 hours 13 minutes (12:31–2:44 AM) and 4 hours 25 minutes (4:32–8:57 AM). Posts scored as his own writing sit on both sides of each break: Intel at 12:29 AM, the Ballroom post at 2:51 AM and "These fools" at 4:32 AM. If he was in Washington, that leaves two short blocks for sleep. If he was still in France (UTC+2), the first session ran from 2:52 to 6:31 AM and posting resumed by 8:44 AM, which leaves even less. Suppose his body clock was still on Paris time after a flight home. The 2:44 AM session would then fall in his mid-morning, but the evening session would move into the small hours. Jet lag shifts the short night to different hours without making it any longer.

Two bursts drive much of the pace: five posts in eight minutes (10:07–10:15 PM) and seven in five minutes (4:27–4:32 AM). Both are made of template endorsements, shared images and links, and reposts. All four of the day's reposts are of his own posts. Each burst ends on a post in his own voice: the SAVE AMERICA ACT list and "These fools." The posts he wrote himself stay on two subjects, the Iran deal and election rules, and his two longest, at 12:29 AM and 2:24 PM, are equally well organized. The grandiosity lasted all day and he posted through the night. Even so, a volume padded with templates and writing that stays on topic do not add up to a hypomanic episode.

Three of the 32 analyzed posts were scored mixed instead of expansive: the Savage list, the Utah post and the filibuster post. Each is about what the other side does, or would do, with power.

Versailles at both ends

The opening clip presents praise in royal terms: "the boss," "the Europeans are already telling 47 merci," "they do call him daddy," and a treaty toasted in "the world's largest royal palace." He added no words of his own. The same four minutes mock the "gay Ayatollah," joke that an inspector would be "Mohammed something, about a 50/50 guess," and report that Iranian scientists "are all dead — so status quo is still bueno." Those lines are why this post was rated elevated. The analysis leaves open the possibility that he posted the segment for the praise and the jokes simply came along with it.

About an hour later a second segment (ts_116768603925563453) took on the deal's skeptics for him. It admits the memorandum "seems to be very misunderstood," says his threats are "more impactful than any memorandum," keeps coming back to "hell will rain down" and "bomb the hell out of them," and ends: "Who do you want to believe?" That question asks viewers to trust the leader's word over a document they can read for themselves. In the first clip, a two-page text ends a nuclear program "forever." Within an hour he had shared two opposite accounts of the same paper: in one the text settles everything, in the other it counts for less than the threat behind it.

The deal comes up in every session after that, ten posts in all. The signing photograph ends the day, with the signature turned toward the camera.

Overnight: templates, borrowed praise and a parenthetical

Three Utah endorsements (ts_116768665410839599, ts_116768683883291622, ts_116768684458318874) went up within five minutes. Each opens "It is my Great Honor to endorse," and each scored among the day's least likely to be in his own words. Forty minutes earlier he had congratulated the PGA Tour and U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton on a "BIG VICTORY" against the USGA's plan to roll back golf-ball distance (ts_116768514151266766). That was the night before the USGA's U.S. Open began at Shinnecock. Kentucky's Ed Gallrein and South Carolina's Don Chapman got endorsements later in the night.

The Colombia endorsement (ts_116768689781682400) is the first post with political risk in it. It praises "El Tigre" for his "political support for me," casts him as a reflection of Trump ("just like I do for the United States of America"), and says that as president he "will have the total support and strength of the United States behind him." It went out three days before the June 21 runoff, so full U.S. backing is tied to one result.

Two minutes later he posted the SAVE AMERICA ACT list (ts_116768696093434401). Its fifth line, "NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION SURGERY ON OUR CHILDREN," contains a made-up word an aide would have caught, which fits his long habit of blending words more than any new slip. The list puts photo ID, proof of citizenship, mail ballots, women's sports and medical care for minors under one banner, so agreeing with any one item reads as agreeing with all of them. The rating on this post rests on the "MUTILIZATION" label for care of transgender minors, and on ballot rules that take fraud for granted without naming a single case. He reposted it six hours later (ts_116770165395319673). An hour after the original came the Michael Savage screenshot (ts_116768894897805802), a numbered list of 30 things that would have gone wrong "If Kamala had won."

After midnight the praise came in other people's voices. Tyrus "was right!" that "TRUMP is going to win" (ts_116769129718272146). A "Presidential Historian" gets a "Sounds good to me!" (ts_116769142648175922). A freed hostage calls him "the greatest Commander-in-Chief ever" (ts_116769231931716794), which the analysis links to the prisoner release around the Iran deal. In the middle of these, the Intel post (ts_116769225357410422) treats the government's stake in the company as his own investment win and blames "Stupid Presidents" who "let Taiwan and others steal our Semiconductor Factories." Then it interrupts its own boast: "When I won my Second Term (Third, actually!)."

He brings up his own election wins in other posts too. The Utah post calls it a state "which I won each time, and handily." The Oklahoma endorsement (ts_116773596380247574) calls him "the ONLY President to win ALL 77 Counties in three straight Elections." In posts about computer chips, ballots and a governor's race, his electoral record comes up unprompted three times, and once it brings the 2020 claim with it. The sentence around "(Third, actually!)" is grammatically fine. What intrudes is the belief.

Before dawn: the Ballroom suit and "These fools"

The Ballroom post at 2:51 AM (ts_116769781426549874) moves from a boast to a jab to a grievance. The project is "on time, and under budget," unlike the Federal Reserve building, where "Too Late" "has done a terrible job of Cost and Time Control." Then the person suing over the construction is called "highly litigious," and the post says flatly "there is no Building there." This is the day's first post with rage, and it is aimed at whoever threatens a project with his name on it. The building theme continued with a post about the regilded "Valor" statue (ts_116769886136736615) and a Townhall screenshot headlined "My Gift to the United States" (ts_116770159731133948).

That screenshot starts the seven-post burst. Next come a G7 France photo showing a man who resembles Narendra Modi (ts_116770160614131644), a repost of his own with an image (ts_116770161935260082), an India Today cover dated January 19, 2026 (ts_116770162723287735), a Bloomberg link from February (ts_116770163996850294) and the SAVE AMERICA ACT repost. Last is "These fools" (ts_116770180426363226). The India material is months old, which looks more like scrolling through saved items than reacting to news.

"These fools, who think I haven't been tough enough on Iran, when the Stock Market Just Hit A RECORD HIGH, and Oil prices are 'tumbling' down, are either jealous, bad people, or stupid." Those three options leave no room for honest disagreement, and he treats the market as the verdict on his judgment. According to the historian's record, Israelis across the political spectrum were saying "Iran emerged stronger; Israel emerged weaker." The post names no one, though, so it could be answering them or American hawks.

From "YOU'RE WELCOME!" to a peace still pending

Next came the four-and-a-half-hour break and two links scored as unlikely to be his: Pope Leo praising the deal (ts_116771222226594566) and Newsom raising $340 million (ts_116771224859937865). Then the 9:59 AM post (ts_116771467656011073) lists the deal's results as already achieved: "OIL IS FLOWING, IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON (THE WORLD WILL BE SAFE!), THE STOCK MARKETS ARE ROARING, JOBS ARE AT RECORDS, AND PRICES ARE DROPPING (AFFORDABILITY!)." It signs off "YOU'RE WELCOME!", which turns policy results into a gift people owe him thanks for. The oil and market claims match the week's events. Nothing in the record supports the claims about jobs and prices.

At 12:44 and 12:45 PM he reposted two of his own links: a California voter-fraud investigation (ts_116772115745401759) and a former Trump economist predicting a boom from the deal (ts_116772117261615722). Four minutes later he wrote "There is no 300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S. That's Fake News!" (ts_116772135215188960), followed by "Check out the Stock Market. Dumocrat propaganda at play!!!" His answer to a specific dollar figure is a stock index. This is the third post of the day to use the market as proof, and the next post makes it four.

That next post (ts_116772416131420569) is the calmest of the day. It says "The United States is committed to PEACE," asks "everyone in the Middle East Region" to "maintain their commitment to allowing our negotiations to beautifully unfold," and adds "We expect a complete Ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel." Four hours earlier, Iran "CAN NEVER HAVE" a nuclear weapon. Now the talks are still under way and the ceasefire is only expected. The memorandum as signed starts a 60-day negotiating period, which matches the later post. The ceasefire he describes also goes beyond the deal's confirmed terms. The historian's record shows Israeli strikes in Lebanon continued, and 83 people were killed two days later.

Utah, the filibuster and "the last Republican President"

Eight minutes after the peace appeal came the Utah post (ts_116772448531484273). It says the state "which I won each time, and handily" is moving to "the All Mail In Ballot format of Colorado, and the rest, that always head LEFT, as soon as the move is made," and that "We should stop Utah from doing this." It says mail ballots, "dishonestly handled," make "CHEATING" the Democrats' "only Road to Victory," and then it wanders to ending the filibuster. The analysis notes that Utah already votes mostly by mail, so his own wins there undercut "always head LEFT." Utah had also taken up three of the night's endorsements.

Fifteen minutes later, that last point became a post of its own (ts_116772506497851104): "Anybody who doesn't want to Terminate the Filibuster is a FOOL, a very stupid one, at that!" The Democrats "will end it within minutes of taking office, and then rapidly proceed to destroy our Country, adding 2 Radical Left States, 4 Dumocrat Senators, many Congressmen/women, their dream of 21 Supreme Court Justices." Holdouts will be "on the wrong side of History." He names Senate Majority Leader Thune, adds a side note that 13 is an unlucky number, and gets to "I will, sadly, be the last Republican President." From the Utah post to this one, intensity went from 0.60 to 0.78 and rage from 0.40 to 0.60, the day's highest on both. A state ballot rule and a long-running Senate fight produced a forecast of national ruin, a 21-justice Supreme Court with nothing to back the number, and an image of himself as the last Republican president. It is the day's second numbered list of disasters, a mirror of the Savage list from the night before.

At 9:59 AM he had called the country "STRONG, SAFE, AND RESPECTED LIKE NEVER BEFORE." The filibuster post presents its ruin as something that happens only if the filibuster stays, so the two claims don't strictly contradict each other. Still, the gift and the apocalypse came less than four and a half hours apart. The escalation ended there. After 4 hours and 37 minutes with no posts, the Oklahoma endorsement went back to county sweeps and "I LOVE Oklahoma." The Versailles photo followed a minute later.

Thune took the most pressure of anyone he named. The others were Powell, the Ballroom plaintiff and Newsom. Each was attacked over competence, motives or ethics, and none came with a call for followers to act. The day's violent language came from a broadcaster and was aimed at Iran's government. Taken together, the posts do not fit a stochastic-terrorism pattern.

What the image shows photo

A news photograph taken indoors in a grand building with checkerboard marble flooring, stone columns, and a chandelier visible in the background — consistent with a palace or historic government venue. Donald Trump sits at a white-clothed table in a navy suit, holding up a single-page signed document toward the camera so his signature ("Donald J. Trump") is visible at the bottom. Seated across the table to his right is a man resembling French President Emmanuel Macron, wearing a black suit and applauding with both hands, with a folded piece of paper in one hand. Standing behind Trump is a man resembling Senator/Secretary Marco Rubio in a navy suit with red/blue striped tie and a small American flag pin, looking down at the document with a neutral expression. Standing further back near a staircase is a bald man in a dark suit and tie, also applauding. On the table in front of the group are additional printed documents and a black pen.

MAGA Warrior Mike Mazzei is running for Governor in Oklahoma, where I was the ONLY President to win ALL 77 Counties in three straight Elections. Additionally, I won more votes than any Candidate in the State’s History! I LOVE Oklahoma, and Mike has my COMPLETE and TOTAL Endorsement for Governor! Meanwhile, his Runoff Election Opponent, Gentner Drummond, is a FAKE Republican.

The Drummonds donated to SLEEPY Joe Biden, and the totally corrupt Lincoln Project, at levels that are shameful — Frankly, that makes him a Radical Left Dumocrat. Additionally, he wants to dethrone a magnificent, Job producing, desperately needed Aluminum Plant that will be one of the best projects ever conceived or built in the Great State of Oklahoma. The group that’s doing it is extraordinarily wealthy and, if they don’t do it in Oklahoma, they have 20 other sites that would love to have them. We need Aluminum for many reasons, we barely make it in the United States but, in particular, it’s all about National Security, and Oklahoma can lead the way. Very simply, Mike Mazzei is for this desperately needed Job Producer. Drummond, for his own reasons, is not — He even SUED, unsuccessfully, to block it. It’s going to be the Biggest Aluminum Plant in the Country, and it’s all financed and done.

Gentner Drummond has also stated publicly he had "no opinion" on the BOGUS IMPEACHMENT of a gentleman named, President Donald J. Trump (ME!). All Republicans feel the opposite on the Dumocrat inspired Impeachment Hoax. He even SUED to BLOCK a religious based charter school strongly supported by my Administration — Very troubling for Educational Freedom, and an outright attack on Christianity!

Drummond is not the right guy, he’s got a bad attitude, and he doesn’t stand for the Values of Oklahoma, which must VOTE “MIKE MAZZEI FOR GOVERNOR” on August 25th — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Anybody who doesn’t want to Terminate the Filibuster is a FOOL, a very stupid one, at that! The Dumocrats will end it within minutes of taking office, and then rapidly proceed to destroy our Country, adding 2 Radical Left States, 4 Dumocrat Senators, many Congressmen/women, their dream of 21 Supreme Court Justices (Not just 13, an unlucky number!), an impossible to beat number of Electoral College Votes (and that’s the Ballgame!), “Popular” Vote Landslides, and so much else. The Republican Party will never win another Election. I will, sadly, be the last Republican President. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Senate, must not let this “carnage” happen. They will go down on the wrong side of History, as will all Republicans who just stood by and watched. The Republican Party isn’t at stake, our Country is. TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, AND IMMEDIATELY APPROVE THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. President DONALD J. TRUMP

It seems as though the Great State of Utah, which I won each time, and handily, is going to the All Mail In Ballot format of Colorado, and the rest, that always head LEFT, as soon as the move is made. We should stop Utah from doing this. All Mail In Ballots, dishonestly handled, are a big advantage for the Dumocrats, whose only Road to Victory, because their Policies are so insane, is CHEATING. Does the Republican Party have any idea what is happening to it? Step by step, State by State, the Democrats are smiling all the way to the "Bank." Stop the onslaught by either immediately terminating the Filibuster and/or pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! President DONALD J. TRUMP

A screenshot of a Townhall.com article. The Townhall logo appears top-left in red. The headline reads "'My Gift to the United States:' President Trump Offers an Update on the White House Ballroom." Below is a photo of Donald Trump outdoors on a sunny day, wearing a dark suit and light blue striped tie, looking upward and to the side with his mouth open as if speaking, with a tree and blue sky with clouds behind him. The photo is credited "AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson." Below the photo is article text describing Trump stopping by the White House ballroom construction site to check progress and speak with press, stating the ballroom is part of the "East Wing Modernization Project" (a hyperlinked phrase) meant to provide a secure, large-capacity event space for state functions. The text states critics have "falsely" claimed Trump is "destroying" the White House and wasting money, asserts that's "just not true," and says he is creating an event space for future presidents. The final visible line states Trump "had a message for those critics today," cutting off before revealing the message. A page number "1" appears in the bottom right corner.

He's creating an event space that will be used by every president who succeeds him, and one that will provide the security and space for the White House to host functions.

This is my gift to the United States of America. I'm going to be able to use it very little because, when it's finished, we're talking about six or seven months." "But it will be used for, hopefully, hundreds of years for other presidents. And there will never be anything like this built again. There will never be anything like this built again," the President added. "As an example, if we have the White House Correspondents' Dinner here, we'd have no problem." The ballroom, which will be about 90,000 square feet in size, will be able to accommodate up to 1,000 people and is scheduled to finish construction by September, 2028. 4

The Ballroom is coming along fantastically well. It's on time, and under budget (Unlike the Federal Reserve Building, where "Too Late" has done a terrible job of Cost and Time Control!), and at a much higher quality than I ever promised, including the DronePort, and ALL of the other many Military elements, which are all vital for National Security, that are being built throughout the whole integrated, cohesive Project. It is desperately needed, and will be very special! The woman that sued me has absolutely no STANDING to do so. This should not even be a case, and it is highly damaging to our Country. She is highly litigious, a serial plaintiff, and said she was bothered in her walking by the White House, but didn't state her involvement in numerous places around D.C. Why then is she involved in litigation on other Developments in far distant parts of D.C. Is she walking there, too? How is she walking on a totally closed street at the Treasury Building — Nobody is allowed to walk there? She never saw a Building, because there is no Building there. President

The Technology the World relies on was invented in America. We all remember “Intel Inside.” Stupid Presidents took our Economy for granted, and let Taiwan and others steal our Semiconductor Factories. They forgot to protect our Industries with TARIFFS. When I won my Second Term (Third, actually!), it was clear America needed its Semiconductor Industry to come back to the U.S.A. We design everything, but we need to BUILD it here, NOW! So I decided to help Intel because we need to design and build our Chips right here in America. First, we helped bring in Nvidia, and they agreed to build their first level Chips with Intel. Next, Elon agreed to build his TerraFab, the largest Chip Factory in the World, designed together with Intel’s Technology team. And, finally, Apple has agreed to work with Intel to design and build its Chips in America. We decided to help Intel in exchange for 10% of their shares. Is that too much or, too little? They were worth around 100 Billion Dollars when we made our offer. Now they are worth over 600 BILLION DOLLARS! Nine months, and they’ve increased in value over HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. America’s stake is now over 60 Billion Dollars. When was the last time a President made America money?? Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

It’s a waste of time to talk about it. They’re not going to beat him, and they never will.” He was right! In his incredible Book, Tyrus tells the true story of the 2024 Presidential Election, with his own unique insights, strongly rooted in Common Sense and Love for our Country.

Thank you to Great Republican Senator, Eric Schmitt!

Video transcript 3:15

with more reaction is Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt. By the way, maybe the best baseball congressional baseball game catch in the history of the game. Congratulations. Great job. Let's get your take on all of this through the prism of they will never in a five, eight month period of time, year or two have any odds of ever getting a nuclear weapon. The president's number one priority. Uh, the president telling me directly telling the American people directly he will rain hell down on them if they try. So at that point in time, what is the downside in giving this an opportunity? There isn't. And I think this again, dealing from a position of strength and clarity, the president United States president Trump was very clear from the get go what the mission here was, which is to ensure that Iran would never have a nuclear weapon. They have no ability to do that. And they're signing on the dotted line now, Sean, for the first time that they're not going to do that. And we don't need to trust them. We just need to verify that. Right. So effectively president knocked out their military capability. Their Navy's at the bottom of the sea. They have no air defense. Um, their nuclear program is in shambles. It's nowhere near ever being started up again. And we can always go back and mow the lawn if necessary because we've got eyes on it. So the president's provided now through all of that action, space for diplomacy that has always been his north star. You know that in any situation and he's got it right now. So there's always more things to do. We need to make sure obviously we're verifying all of this, but the president's pulled off something here that most experts six months ago wouldn't have thought were possible. And I think it's good for the American people. You know, it's, it's really insane after all Donald Trump has done beating the caliphate, Soleimani, Baghdadi, uh, midnight hammer, epic fury. I don't know why people would doubt for a second that he means what he says that he has no problem going back in and, and finishing it. What I was told internally is the Iranians, even, even the people that have been negotiating with our side after he hit them hard twice last week and then threatened to hit them harder the next night and threatened maybe to take Karg Island. They were begging to just sign any dotted line and get this moving forward. That apparently was a sore point for them. Well, they're, they're, they're at their weakest point in 50 years. I mean, that's the truth. And anything that's going to happen here now is performance based. You want to talk about this compared to Obama's disastrous deal where everything was front loaded and kind of created a path to a nuclear weapon. This is just the opposite. You've got the master deal maker here who used the leverage that he has who still has that leverage, uh, as president moving forward to make sure that they're not going to secure a nuclear weapon. That has been the goal all along. And so while the Democrats, I hear him talking about it on Capitol Hill today, we're really rooting for America to lose. That's the truth. Um, we're rooting for America to win here. The president's been very successful in, in fulfilling his promise that they're not going to get a nuclear weapon. It will be incredibly destabilizing, not just for the region, but for the world if that happened. And now the president has a memorandum of understanding that's going and continue to be negotiated to make sure it doesn't happen.

Video transcript 3:03

history in the making President Trump has officially now signed the "memorandum of understanding" which seems to be very misunderstood with Iran at the Versailles of all places. Now this multi-point performance is based, it's a base plan that now is in full effect and a formal signing we expect to take place in two days. Now here are the main takeaways. The Strait of Hormuz will be free, it will be clear there will be no tolls. Iran will never ever have a nuclear weapon. If they uphold the terms of this working memorandum, although it's not really relevant to what's been going on, Iran will be rewarded with sanctions relief. The choice ultimately will be theirs. If they break the terms, well, President Trump said it pretty well, very clear, unambiguous, hell will rain down on the IRGC. Take a look. "The only thing that really matters to me is Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And it says it loud and clear, they're not going to develop it, they're not going to buy it, they're not going to do anything with it. And if they do, they suffer unbelievable consequences. They will not develop, purchase, buy or any other thing, they're not going to acquire a nuclear weapon. If they do, all hell will rain down on them." All hell will rain down on them. Now today, the president reiterated that commitment to blowing up Iran if in fact they do break the terms of this deal. He cannot be any more clear. Take a look. "I let him know. He said, 'Look, if you don't adhere to the agreement, I don't want to do that, but we're going to bomb the hell out of you. And I don't think that they're going to veer from the agreement. What else am I going to do? Am I going to say I'm going to take you to court? Let me take you to court. Let me sue you. No, we're going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement.'" Now I had a conversation with the president, I've talked to Steve Whitcoff, I've talked to others in the administration. There is so much more under the surface that has already been discussed in deep detail surrounding Iran and this working agreement. I see many people reacting to the memorandum itself that are completely ignoring those words of Donald Trump that he has no problem at all. He said it to me directly, going back and bombing any time he wants. And the guy, by the way, that wrote The Art of the Deal, well, he's been pretty clear where the red lines are. There's no ambiguity here. To me, his words are more impactful than any memorandum if you want to know what is in the president's head and what he's thinking. But anyway, he's a trust but verify guy anyway. So at the end of the day, if Iran doesn't comply, they have been told three times in two days what is to come. And it's not reconstruction. It's not one American taxpayer dollar. It's not sanctions relief that will, you know, that their country desperately needs. And hell will rain down from the sky. Who do you want to believe?

Congratulations to Commissioner Brian Rolapp, the PGA Tour, and the Governing Bodies, and also, the Great U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, for a BIG VICTORY where the USGA wanted to roll back the distance of a Golf Ball, for whatever reason, and now they are precluded from doing so, at least for a long number of years. It was a ridiculous idea, that nobody wanted, especially PGA Tour Players, and people that don’t want to go to a Course to be told that their drives will be going 20 yards shorter. What the USGA should do is agree that, far into the future, they will not allow the current ball to go further. In other words, they will keep the ball the same! The game of Golf is “hot as a pistol.” The last thing we should do is tell people that, for no reason whatsoever, you will not be able to hit a ball as far as you used to. Has anyone ever heard of anything so ridiculous? President DONALD J. TRUMP

we we Trump just landed in Paris after the g7 47 swung through the French Capitol to commemorate America 250 the Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War they toasted the occasion in the world's largest royal palace we're going to Versailles for dinner with some of Europe's great people and we'll see how that works out I think it'll be very good the president will be there with madam and I think we're gonna have a good time the president signed another treaty at dinner more on that in a sec but the Europeans are already telling 47 merci I think I think I was right I'm sort of always right they do call him daddy but they can also call him this they gave the boss a big gift the EU trade deal we raised tariffs on him and they dropped a bunch of tariffs on us to zero monies being made and love was in the air he was in a hotel and I met him and we fell in love deeply in love and he didn't even want to see Hillary he said you're gonna win I don't want to meet her so you're gonna win he didn't want to see you remember that the atmosphere was intoxicating deals seem to turn Trump on you know deals are amazing I've done them all my life I've got into deals that were a hundred percent and they don't happen I've got into deals that there was no chance of getting them done and it happens and they happen easily so you never know what deals do you but you're gonna find out pretty soon I think it'll be done they want to sign they want to get back to a normal life and Fox News alert president Trump just signed the Iran deal over dinner he said it they snapped a pic of the sheet and emailed it to the gay Ayatollah without Wi-Fi he'll probably get it Friday and primetime just got our hands on the deal we've read it three times it's only two pages the headline Iran's nuke program is over forever the mullahs have agreed at the very least that they're enriched uranium stockpiles will be destroyed on site and that the International Atomic Energy Agency which means us will supervise since Iran can't dig it out we'd be the ones doing it they only get sanctions relief after the dust is destroyed and if Iran backs out they've still agreed that they'll maintain the current status quo of their nuclear program and the status quo is they have no new program the uranium is buried the centrifuges shattered and their scientists are all dead so status quo is still bueno even then Iran agreed to this quote we shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons and if Iran so much as comes near the sites it'll be trouble we have space force cameras on every single door every so well there are no doors have been pretty well shattered but every area of that if somebody walks in and he's got a badge with his name on it like Mohammed something which is about a 50/50 guess Mohammed something they can tell the name they can give you a serial number moving on the straight immediately opens no attacks no tolls and we slowly lift the blockade Iran's allowed to sell oil again that means two things one the price of oil is gonna fall so we'll gas prices and inflation here and to China can't buy sanctioned Iranian oil at a discount anymore they have to pay full price oil closed a day in the 70s which was the exact same price it traded at before the war so we're back and here's where it gets a little cute it says after 60 days Iran can talk to Oman and the Gulf States about how to manage the strait under international law now people are saying that that means Iran can go back to tolling now tolling the strait is illegal under international law and the Gulf States would never agree to tolling they just put that language in there so that Iran can save face and this just in for the first time since the start of the war Iran didn't fire at a single vessel in the strait it's a pretty good signal next there's going to be a 300 billion dollar fund where Gulf neighbors not us Gulf neighbors will invest in rebuilding Iran any relief they receive under this deal they'll have to get based on merit and it won't be from us we don't have to give them anything but some people may want to invest like what are you gonna do say you can never ever invest in a country I mean it's pretty tough they need investment because we did a trillion and a half maybe two trillion dollars worth of damage so somebody's gonna have to help them out this isn't free money the deal says that we control who does business in Iran quote we grant all required licenses waivers and permissions needed that means if Iran screws around they don't get any investments their country doesn't get rebuilt usually after we win wars we like to rebuild the loser Japan Germany the south after the Civil War when neighbors do business they usually don't go to war because war is bad for business that's the thinking here next in terms of sanctions the United States will only lift sanctions as a part of the final deal that means not now that means when the dust's been destroyed and Iran signs the final deal which is only gonna get tougher the deal also says the United States won't be reducing our force posture until the final deal is signed that means the two carrier strike groups remain in position locked and loaded also Iran has to keep their dog on a leash Hezbollah has to stand down if they attack Israel Israel can hit back and hit back hard but Israel they have to behave too we have a little dispute over Lebanon and I say you can do a little softer touch maybe they're off to knock down a building every time somebody walks into it that's from Hezbollah a senior official tells primetime that Netanyahu thinks the deals a home run if Iran complies but he's skeptical here's the bottom line they'll never have a nuclear weapon the straights open the ayatollahs dead their military is whipped and we did it in three months with no ground troops and Muhammad's not getting a penny until he performs and none of these pennies are even ours and as a bonus the United States is now the world's biggest energy exporter and hopefully fingers crossed we rewired the Middle East so they make love not war and we don't have to babysit him Trump actually set the stage for peace in the Middle East in his first term by bombing the hell out of Isis and whacking Iran's top general this was years in the making you know why because I was the one that killed General Soleimani if I didn't kill General Soleimani we probably wouldn't be talking right now about this deal because he was a mad genius a lot of people forget that the tough guys you know the tough guys that would drive the country right down the tubes then Trump terminated the Obama deal and in his second term the president visited the Middle East first remember beefed up the Abraham Accords sold the Arabs AI Chaching and came home with trillions of American investments last week's airstrikes and project freedom sealed this deal American deterrence is back and the guard lost its leverage over the straight when we started secretly shepherding tankers out senior US officials tell Fox News that they don't trust the Iranians they're not in the trust business but the Iranians in private have been saying all the right things now that doesn't mean anything this is a performance-based deal if they BS us we slap back the sanctions and the blockade and maybe bombs away I don't like it we'll go back to shooting at him dropping bombs on their head I don't like it if they don't behave we'll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their head now you're hearing a lot of noise about the deal not everyone's gonna love it I get it but Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul polar opposites both say it's good so what happens next the talks in Switzerland this weekend are critical in the first 30 days the Iranians prioritized we'll see how serious they are one thing's clear the mullahs no Trump's serious they tried to bribe their way out of it and you know what the Iranians did they laughed at Obama and they said he's a stupid son of a bitch the president's no sucker he's been a part of deals that blew up that's why he's sending JD why not stick around for the signing ceremony with this Iran peace deal I might you might yeah I might but I'd rather this is a memorandum of understanding it's very important but it might not be the kind of a document that I should be sending this way if it works out I'm gonna take the credit if it doesn't work out I'm blaming JD you better be careful JD he's gonna turn his plane around and get the hell out of here yeah I like that idea
