Why did Donald Trump shut down the White House press briefings amid the Iran crisis?
Donald Trump is closing down the White House all day today to the press, as Iran is refusing to even allow him to surrender. Donald Trump is saying, Iran, you can control the Strait of Hormuz. Can you please just open it up? And Iran's like, Nope, you owe us reparations. You need to make sure that Israel leaves Lebanon and you need to get the United States. Military out of the region, then maybe we'll consider opening up the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump's like, please can I try to save face? And Iran's like, no, we're not going to let you do it. And Iran hit another tanker yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis hit hard in eastern Saudi Arabia. In Jubal, another Aramco facility was hit very hard there.
The Houthis struck hard in northern Yes. Yemen and in other areas of Yemen against these Saudi backed groups there. And so Iran's saying, absolutely not. Just look at Donald Trump's press schedule for today. Close 8 a.m., 9:30, 12:30, 2, 2:45, 6:30 p.m. The American people are demanding answers. What the hell is happening? Right? Donald Trump gave that, I don't even want to call it an interview. He called up his Personal stenographer at Axios, Barak Ravid, and said, we're just going to play it low-key with Iran right now. We're not really even negotiating. We're going to do semi-negotiation and we're just going to let it be because if we do nothing, then Iran is definitely going to just fall. That's the new line from the Trump regime.
We're going to go low-key with this right now and just let things evolve. Evolve naturally, and we'll just see what happens. I mean, by the way, Donald Trump's just been looking awful these last couple of weeks. I mean, he's always looked awful, but remember how he looked a few weeks back? And then yesterday, he was at Bedminster in New Jersey. He was doing this weird stuff with some like the gold coin thing that he hands out or some fake gold coin. You see, Nattle. Harp in the background, right there. That's Donald Trump's human printer. Other people call her uh his other thing, some people say caretaker, some people say other thing, but that's Donald Trump. You see that him there with Eric, he's doing what the hell is Donald Trump even doing there?
And then because he looked so awful, he was posting all of these AI images of himself. Because if you look at how he really looked. Folks, it's bad. So here's an AI image he posted of himself and Gary Player at Bedminster. He's like, with the great Gary Player today at Bedminster, that's not what you look like. Here's what he looked like. And folks, those bruises that are on both of his hands and on his neck, they're spreading all up his arm right now. Zoom. In right there, he is physically and cognitively declining quickly. And I know corporate news doesn't want to talk about it. Oh, we can't talk about no. We'll talk about it here, that this dude is cognitively and physically declining quickly. But he posts the following as well: 51 years of bad behavior.
Iran has no money, he posts on social. media and then he very quickly starts to post a photo of the tenth hole at the golf course. The tenth hole at Trump International Golf Club, Palm Beach County, Florida. Hell are you posting? The American people can't afford homes. They can't afford groceries. They can't afford gas. You're talking about low-keying the negotiations with Iran, or you're not even negotiating. You're doing a quote semi-negotiation, is what you told Barak Ravid. While we see the Houthis control the Red Sea, Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. You look utterly lost in control. confused and scared, but you're showing what the tenth hole of the International Golf Club looks like while you grift in the Oval Office.
And we're just learning even more disturbing details. about the extent to which he's grifting. Like we know he's made billions of dollars. It's it's that's a undisputed fact, grifting from the Oval Office and all of these quid pro quo deals with foreign countries and with companies and 21,000 stock trades. He has all the insider information.
