President Trump gives an impromptu press conference aboard Airforce One returning to Florida following the solemn ceremony at Dover Airforce Base. Emissary Steve Witkoff and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also delivered some comments on questions from the media.
President Trump answered questions about rising U.S. gas prices saying, this is a confrontation that should have taken place before. For 47 years various presidents have navigated the risk and threats presented by Iran, but President Trump is choosing to end the threat once and for all.
Keeping security issues close to the chest, President Trump refused to directly answer any questions about ongoing operations, targeting or matters of military strategy. At 7:45 of the video Steve Witkoff and Pete Hegseth also answered questions. WATCH:
At 10:35 President Trump was asked his opinion on what Russia would say if confronted about support for Iran, and President Trump showcased how well he knows the Russian approach by saying if we confronted them, Russia would just say the U.S. supports Ukraine against Russia, right? President Trump is correct; Russian President Putin is the master at pointing out hypocrisy in foreign intervention.
At 13:15 President Trump is asked about Kurdish support, and Trump notes the U.S. appreciates the offer but does not want the Kurdish forces to get involved because it only complicates the issues. The Kurds are our allies, and President Trump has had conversations with Kurdish leadership; however, within that friendship Trump notes it would be dangerous for the Kurds to get involved.
“Who are you with?” Love it! MSM unrecognizable…..
Insuring ‘gotcha’ questions gets credit….
You’re gross.
“It’s the Jooz”
— pegging Ringo into that category in the register that I keep
Langley Bugle
The most accessible, straight-forward Commander-in-Chief in my lifetime. With the slanderous media in full war frenzy, against the Administration, The President meets them without hesitation. He gives the agenda-driven questions the response they have earned then flicks them off his cuff like lint.
Wodis….just like I tell loonie lefties, give us facts to back up that slanderous statement… oh that’s right; you don’t have any.
I dont believe anything unless I hear myself
or right hear on my Branch at the TREEHOUSE
“Your branch of the treehouse” Ha. Well said.
I agree with you, teaforall. If Sundance doesn’t say it here at Treehouse, I don’t believe it either. He’s been spot on for the 6 years I’ve lurked here.
President Trump is making it difficult for anyone who comes after him. He is the best most transparent, intelligent and courageous president we have ever had. I am amazed at how much he handles the issues with grace and confidence every single day. Will we ever fully appreciate him and his ability while he is here? Many of us do! I wish it were more of us.
How many appreciate the country God gave us, or the new day when the sun rises? Another opportunity to do good and improve our surroundings? Many are not thankful.
👍 I agree everyone else seems to be supported by or tied to some billionaire with their own agenda and not an America First agenda!!
Ringo, you sound like a troll.
This is mess. Pretending others wise is just foolish Qanon level stuff
biting off more than you can chew comes to mind
but lets see how it pans out
Show me the evidence that he has bitten off more than he can chew.
Here’s what comes to mind about your words, Tom
If a kitten looks a what a Lion normally bites off it is overwhelmed
So far everything PDJT has bitten off, he has been able to turn into blessings for US citizens who are living by the Constitution, and blessings for the peaceful living citizens of the rest of the world. It is amazing and awesome to watch.
What PDJT is doing is well within the purpose and limits of the constitution — and is exposing in increasing measure years of treason by others – both within and abroad. That is the main purpose of the U.S. Government. It had to be done and should have been addressed years ago.
He just took out a Muslim government in the heart of the Muslim territory, and most of the other Muslim countries in the world and their citizens are greeting him with the reception of a hero and king.
Life if full of lemons and He is amazingly making lemonade and sharing it with other hardworking people.
If you are “concerned” as you watch, you might want to just keep your focus in the house and eat your cat chow and drink your milk out of your saucer. Enjoy the quiet for now.
Its fixing to get uncomfortable inside the house as well. You will see that Little Red Riding Hood’s sweet frail grandmother isn’t who she claims to be, and PDJT isn’t going to be acting very “gentlemanly ” toward grandma — and though you may think he isn’t being very Presidential — he will be doing exactly what a president and the government is supposed to be doing.
Poor Ringo, since the Beatles broke up, he don’t know what to do with himself.
Ringo, do you get paid by the word or by the post?
Your words show how simple of a mind you have if you believe PDJT is doing all of this on his own.
“Calm Before the Storm” wasn’t just a phrase.
No he’s not alone
Oh and Iran spinning centrifuges to get nuclear material for ICBMs to bomb Israel and the United States at the direction of radical crazed fanatical mullahs isn’t a mess!??? President Trump didn’t start a war he’s trying to end one the Iranian fanatical lunatics started in 1979!! Iran has been a mess ever since! President Trump didn’t create a mess he’s trying to untangle one, all our previous presidents ignored or tried to help them get nuclear materials!!! Pretending President Trump created this mess is “just foolish Qanon level stuff”!!! JMO
History goes back further than 1979 US meddling in other countries is well documented
Many believed Trump was different
but alas its just the same old story
As I said before America first via Israel will end in tears
You’re probably a lot of fun at parties. Not. There are so many things going on that we don’t know about but 47 does. I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know what those things are. I could never be President and wouldn’t want to. 47 keeps things close to the best because he is not going to let the enemy know what he is going to do. The enemies are both foreign and domestic.
The administration provides some clarifying details, even to stupid questions…bill
I continue to be amazed, very grateful, and thankful to God that this man is our President. No sugarcoating, no BS, just the truth.
A scene in the TV show “Castle”, has Beckett telling a senator she wants the truth. The senator responds by saying you should never expect the truth from a politician. Thank God 47 is an honest businessman and leader.
It pisses me off that anyone still believes Joe Biden was the POTUS for four years. President Trump demonstrates every day the mental and physical energy it takes to be POTUS. Joe Biden couldn’t even get out of bed.
I am proud that President Trump sees the world the way it is – dominated by Rockefeller-Rothschild-British Eurotrash who have had us in conflict for over 80 years. The destructive seeds they and their acolytes have sown have been devastating to the entire planet. Setting it right isn’t an easy task, but if genuine freedom and liberty are to flourish on a global scale, then the United States must set the tone. Otherwise, the loons who want to destroy the human population and reduce us to insect consumers will win.

Our country was run from Kalorama
… just to clarify / augment
Iran just killed at least 32,000 of its own people for marching against the regime. Is it not reasonable to believe that they would kill 130 school children and blame the Americans in order try to turn the American people, with the help of the media, against the Trump Administration’s military action in Iran. Hamas put terror tunnels under schools and hospitals. These are monsters!
From reports on the ground in Iran indicating the military is using schools as “safe” harbors:
In Tehran’s Sa’adat Abad district, residents said Imam Sadeq university and a nearby high school had been turned into military positions with checkpoints set up around them.
In Tabriz, residents reported government forces stationed at Imam Ali primary school in the Roshdiyeh area.
if it makes you sleep better
And you are so certain these actions are not dots connecting to that very end?
Trump just attacked the deep state: “Trump Vows He Won’t Sign Any Other Bills Until SAVE Act Is Passed!
If the Kurds get involved, they might be able to carve out an independent enclave for themselves. It would trigger a messy breakup of Iran into smaller balkanized states.
The Kurds are far too small (10%) to to take over the entire huge country of Iran and the majority Persians would never accept their takeover. Persia must be liberated by Persians.
Iran is big. It’s about the same land area as Alaska. The map shows an overlay of Iran and the continental US. It’s far bigger than Iraq or Afghanistan, way too big for an outside force to occupy against a hostile population.
thx escapee
helpful information and graphics are always a plus
Ringo was his name. 🎶. Another member of the American Enterprise Institute, I see. We all hate the deep state. It’s the ad-hominem “utter fool” language we despise.
Trump has iron stones. His ad hoc media engagement alone is epic because these j-school phonies all line up for a chance to be the next Sam Donaldson / Jim Acosta bag of manure and he gleefully dumps them in the manure spreader.
You sound so desperate. Everything DJT does serves to attack the Deep State.
