He didn’t say the low is sitting real low. He used the “are” in the video.
Until one gets shot up. Good intentions, but a terrible implementation.
Don’t forget the $2 billion. And the irs can never investigate the president’s corruption.
The whole town is shut down because those people make an average of $70-$65,000 a year. Those jobs are hard to come by right now.
'Oh my God!' USS Lincoln sailor's wife rips Trump over 'infuriating' remarks
Trump thinks the sailors aboard the USS Lincoln should be deployed LONGER.
Reporter: Family members of US servicemembers are concerned about the conditions on the USS Lincoln.
Trump: No, they’re not, that ship moving.
Reporter: Did the deployment last for too long?
Trump: No. No. No. Not nearly long enough.
Stop enlisting in the military when the Commander in chief literally HATES you.

️JUST IN: The New York Times reports that the United States NOW uses Diego Garcia as a Logistics Bub for its Operations in the Middle EastDue to the long distance, U.S. troops are not receiving Supplies quickly enough, and Morale has Plummeted
Iran has Destroyed all the Warehouses that the United States used to Supply its Troops
BREAKING: Iran has just unveiled a comprehensive exhibition of US and Israeli aircraft wreckage recovered during the Iran war at an underground IRGC Aerospace Force air-defense base.
According to the IRGC:
1. Wreckage on display includes a US F-15E, multiple MQ-9 Reapers, multiple Hermes 900s and Hermes 450s, Elon Musk's Starlink Devices, and an intact Israeli Hermes 900 drone.
2. 171 aircraft (majority drones) were hit during the Iran war, including 10 crewed aircraft
3. The US F-15E was shot down on April 3 using a new domestically produced Iran air defense system and missile combined with unconventional tactics, leaving the crew "only seconds to react before impact"
4. More than 85% of Iran's air defense production infrastructure survived the war, with production rates for several missiles and systems now above pre-war levels
5. Iran also displayed Starlink terminals recovered from US and Israeli UAV operations and networks inside Iran
6. The wreckage displayed represents "only a portion of the aircraft and drones brought down"
The IRGC says drone and missile production is now running at levels stronger than before the war.

IRAN’S RAIN RETURNS, AFTER A STRIKE ON A UAE CLOUD-SEEDING BASE
For decades, large parts of Iran have suffered through severe drought, parched farmland, and dwindling water supplies. Now, areas that have struggled for generations are seeing rain and snowfall at levels not recorded in more than 60 years.
The timing is raising serious questions. The shift came shortly after a reported strike on a secret weather-modification and cloud-seeding facility in the UAE.
If the region had the capacity to alter precipitation, what exactly was that technology being used for, and who controlled it?
Was this simply a natural weather cycle finally turning in Iran’s favor? Or was outside interference involved all along? Were the U.S., Israel, and other adversaries quietly using weather technology to block rain and snowfall, deepening Iran’s drought and putting further pressure on its people?
The rain may have returned, but the questions behind it are only growing.

US navy has shifted its main regional logistics hub to Diego Garcia after Iran struck and severely damaged its base in Bahrain, contributing to supply problems aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
Bahrain and Fujairah in the UAE have traditionally been key ports for US carriers to rest and resupply, but both are within range of Iranian missiles.
Diego Garcia is roughly 4,000 km from Iran, putting it farther out of Iran’s reach. However Iran still has the capability to strike the island.

This is hilarious
Trump: "Pretty soon, I will be declaring the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States."
Araghchi: "Trump initially wanted to take Iran, then our Kharg Island. He failed so badly at both. Now he is dreaming about the Strait of Hormuz. That man is a joke."
Araghchi is strategic genius
"Soon, I will declare the Strait of Hormuz a territory of the United States."
Donald Trump today outdid himself, and in addition to the statement highlighted in the headline, he made two more sensational and, apparently, highly inaccurate claims.
The first:
"This week, we apprehended nine out of ten of the criminals on the FBI's most wanted list. This is a record."
The second:
"We have $19.2 trillion that needs to be invested in our country. You know why? Tariffs."

Iran Joins BRICS Bank. The US Sanctions Dream Is Over, and the Iranian Weasel Is Gone. Russia Had Already Shown the EU the Way. Now Iran Will Deliver the Next Lesson to the US.
Iran will very soon join the BRICS New Development Bank, said Central Bank Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati on Wednesday, describing the institution as the most significant achievement of the BRICS bloc in cooperation.
During the BRICS Summit in India, Hemmati praised India's presidency of the group and said that good cooperation between Iran and India in the areas of money, banking, and digital economy has begun.
Hemmati said the BRICS Summit is the most important opportunity to meet politicians, officials, and business leaders from member states with which Iran has the largest financial and banking exchange.
The CBI chief said Iran believes that BRICS members could conduct trade among themselves using national currencies, and that Tehran is seeking bilateral and trilateral monetary cooperation with BRICS member states.
Since the BRICS Bank has its own international IBAN and is also connected to the international Chinese payment system CIPS, payments are processed outside the US-controlled SWIFT system. This means sanctions and seizures of funds are a thing of the past.
With the deposit amount into the BRICS Bank, Iran will also become a full member of BRICS. The BRICS New Development Bank is headquartered in Shanghai, China.

USS Abraham Lincoln to return home soon amid controversy over living conditions
Justin WalkerUpdated: Aug 14, 2026 / 06:37 PM CDT
(NewsNation) — According to a release from Hung Cao, the acting secretary of the Navy, the USS Abraham Lincoln will return home soon as part of a planned rotation.
The social media post characterized the extended deployment as necessary, as “the mission demanded it.” He detailed the expectations of an active sailor and Marine, saying they’re expected to “dig deep,” noting that they “always do.”
“Deployments are hard. Combat operations make them harder,” Cao said on social media. “War is hell and normal routines are disrupted.”
Trump says USS Abraham Lincoln family members not concerned about conditions
Cao pointed to the media, saying that outlets were attempting to draw the active military on the vessel as victims, which he characterized as “dishonest” and drawing focus away from the enemy and the “threat it poses against our nation, people, and way of life.”
He acknowledged that “a small number of mental health cases were treated with no loss of life,” saying that meal plans were adjusted, but no meals were missed. He also said calls home were limited when operational threat was too high.
News reports about poor conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, including worsening mental health of sailors on board and supply challenges, prompted Democratic lawmakers to call for an investigation into the state of the aircraft carrier.
Others pressed the U.S. Navy to allow a bipartisan congressional visit to the vessel to inspect the conditions themselves following reports that some sailors have attempted to jump overboard. Navy officials denied any increase in suicide attempts on the vessels.
Lawmakers raise alarm bells on USS Abraham Lincoln conditions
On Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said conditions aboard USS Lincoln have been “completely misrepresented.”
“Listen, we make sure that every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment,” Hegseth said during his visit to Panama. “Some deployments are longer than others, and I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody. What they do in those high seas and those austere conditions with less port calls, it’s incredible.”
