💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Israel and Lebanon tried to make peace before, what is the difference this time?

Trump: The difference is me—big difference.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I am not happy with Australia because they were not there for us at the Hormuz Strait.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

When we asked NATO allies to get involved in a very minor skirmish by comparison to what it could be, they weren't there, so I don't think they would be there for a large skirmish.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Europeans should be buying more oil and gas from us.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is very routine for us.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Iran is going to execute four more protesters, including the first woman protester. What do you tell Iran?

Trump: Tell that to the Pope.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I think we have a very successful negotiation going on right now...

That'll give us free oil, free Hormuz Strait. Everything will be nice.

💬 🇺🇸 Reporter: Scientists with access to classified stuff, nuclear materials, aerospace—they've gone missing or turned up dead in the last couple months. What's happening?

Trump: I hope it's random. We are going to know in the next week and a half. Pretty serious stuff. Hopefully coincidence.

💡 🇮🇱🇱🇧 The 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire is now in effect.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

Who’s dumber, Tucker Carlson or Joe Kent? It’s very interesting! I met Joe Kent at Dover Air Force Base, along with numerous others who had lost their loved ones in War. I said hello to all of the families. Kent, horribly, lost his wife. Her casket was being brought to Dover, along with the rest, although he married again, quite quickly, in my opinion. In any event, a number of years later, I noticed the same person was running for Congress in Washington State, and lost. I then noticed a couple of years later, he was running again, and lost. While I didn’t know him other than our brief Dover encounter, but feeling sorry for him after the two Election losses, I told my people, “Hire him for the White House. Give him a job, make him feel good, he lost his wife and two Elections.” They did so and, while I rarely saw him, I certainly didn’t expect disloyalty, but that’s what I got. He was really a SLEAZEBAG, and some would say, on top of it all, A LEAKER! I don’t know whether or not that was true, but next time, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! Kent is a LOSER, just like Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and the rest of them are LOSERS — You’re born that way, LOW IQ, and there’s not a damn thing they’re going to be able to do about it!

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

I hope Hezbollah acts nicely and well during this important period of time.

It will be an GREAT moment for them if they do. No more killing. Must finally have PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

💬 🇺🇸 Trump:

A year ago, our country was an embarrassment, and all over the world, they laughed at us.

They're not laughing anymore.

💬🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump:

Our economy is booming. You don't read or see it so much because of what's going on in Iran. It's been two months.

You've been in other wars for 18 years. Four years with me—I'm in there for a month, and they say, "Well, he said he'd get out."

Did you see where I did a list last week? Seventeen years in Vietnam and five years in Afghanistan and more, much more than that. And all these different places.

And I said, "We're in there for two months. And you know what? We're going to have victory very shortly."

💬 🇺🇸 Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:

Hezbollah is no different than Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Hezbollah is Shiite, and Al-Qaeda and ISIS are Sunni, but they have the same goal.

If anybody tells me that Hezbollah is different than the Ayatollah, Al-Qaeda, or ISIS, you don't understand Hezbollah.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:

Why end the blockade? Because it's working. The currency of Iran has collapsed. They're on the verge of actually financial ruin from the blockade.

I want to make sure Iran can't block the Strait of Hormuz going forward.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:

It would be insane to allow Al-Qaeda to enrich uranium, to allow ISIS to enrich uranium.

The state of Iran under the Ayatollah is no different. They have the same agenda.

Now, what happens if they say no? Keep the blockade in place, but be willing to go after the energy infrastructure on Kharg Island.

I'm not asking President Trump or anybody to invade the country.

💬 🇺🇸🇱🇧 Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:

We are inside the 5-yard line... we got Lebanon—Hezbollah pinned down. Don't throw them a lifeline.

If you get a peace deal in Lebanon and it doesn't have a pathway to disarm Hezbollah, it is a fake peace deal.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:

President Trump—our guy—is directly talking to the Iranians. He is negotiating himself.

He was on the phone with the Iranians a couple of days ago, and it got rather sporty to the point that President Trump loudly told Iran what would happen if they keep playing games.

He actually lost his voice. I'd hate to be the Iranian on the receiving end of that.

So President Trump is now directly involved in the negotiations.

#️⃣ 🇬🇧 THE BANK OF ENGLAND HAS REMOVED WINSTON CHURCHILL'S IMAGE FROM BANKNOTES DUE TO HIS "ELITIST AND IMPERIALIST" VIEWS, ACCORDING TO THE TELEGRAPH.

A study conducted by the central bank found that figures such as Winston Churchill, Alan Turing, and Jane Austen are considered "controversial figures" and do not reflect the diversity of modern Britain.

As a result, it was recommended that their portraits on banknotes be replaced with images of nature.
