🇺🇸🇮🇷🇾🇪⚡- "Aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) is operating off the coast of Namibia, as it sails around the African continent and is set to join a growing naval force in the Arabian Sea amid a U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Bush did not sail through the Strait of Gibraltar and into the Mediterranean Sea, a typical transit for East Coast-based carriers headed to the Middle East. The carrier is instead sailing around Africa.

The path around Africa allows the carrier and its escorts to avoid transiting the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb, which were both hubs of activity for Ansarullah in their drone and missile attacks on U.S. and commercial shipping in 2024 and 2025," - US Naval Institute.

When does this Corrupt Media Outlet apologize for their LIES and horrible actions against me, my supporters, and our Country itself! HAVE THEY NO SHAME? HAVE THEY NO SENSE OF DECENCY?" - President Trump on Truth Social.

🇺🇸🇻🇦⚡️ — Vice President JD Vance on Trump's AI-generated picture depicting himself as Jesus Christ:
I think Trump was posting a joke, and, of course, he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor in that case.

I think Trump likes to mix it up on social media, and I actually think that is one of the good things about this president is that he's not filtered.

He doesn't send everything through a communications professional.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Hillary Clinton:
It's shocking that Trump said nobody told him that Iran might close the Strait of Hormuz.

Every war game I was ever involved in, that was the first thing we assumed Iran would do.

We're in a situation now where we are weak, where we essentially have lost the leverage and initiative that we had.
