"[Trump] came in as an America First president, that he wasn’t going to get involved in international affairs. I think the shock is not that he has so many different ideas, but that it's so at odds with what he promised the administration would be,” said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.

"To go outside of our planet and the immediate vicinity to go to another world is, and should be, an inspiring event. Unfortunately, it happens at a time when we're so divided at home," @peterbakernyt.bsky.social said about Artemis II. "It is this one thing, I think, that brings people together."
"I think, you know, there were Arab diplomats flooding Washington ... saying it's going to be different this time," said Felicia Schwartz. "Trump has been able to do things that everyone told him he couldn't do, and I think some of it was confirmation bias."
Is the Iran war winding down? "You could argue that the war is winding up because [Trump] is sending more Marines in, he is increasing the pace of the attacks," said @sangernyt.bsky.social.
"I was on the ground in southern Iraq on the day that Saddam's forces left the southern city of Basra," said @sbg1.bsky.social. "The American and British officers we spoke with had no idea what they were doing there. They didn't know what the goal was."
"Trump reveres royalty, and he loved the state visit that he had in the United Kingdom," said @tylerpager.bsky.social. "The Brits see this as an opportunity to reestablish a good relationship with Trump because they know how much he reveres the king and the queen."

David Ignatius, foreign affairs columnist for The Washington Post, joined moderator Jeffrey Goldberg to discuss the global consequences of America’s unpredictability, including the current state of negotiations with Iran.
[President Trump] went and said help is on the way to the Iranian protesters. Time after time over the last, mostly over the last 10 days or so, he has been encouraging the Iranian protesters, and at the same time the Ayatollah has come out and … called him a tyrant,” said @jonathankarl.bsky.social.
"The fact that [Pete Hegseth] has this ability, as a former television reporter, to kind of deliver the message to the president in a way the president not only understands, but that resonates with him, that has kept him in his job," said Vivian Salama.

Donald Trump is clear: American families’ financial struggles don’t matter to him at all. If congressional Republicans don’t want to hold him accountable and help end his reckless wars and bring down prices, they should get the hell out of the way.
