Trump’s unprecedented $37B failure exposed as secret meeting details leak: report

President Donald Trump's escalating military campaign against Iran is achieving the “opposite” of its intended effect, according to a senior U.S. official cited in a New York Times report Saturday.“The official said the strikes have the opposite effect of what is intended, keeping Iran cohesive and allowing Iranian leaders to focus attention on an external threat,” the Times’ report reads.The assessment came after insiders leaked details to the Times about a Friday meeting between Trump and his top advisers and Cabinet members, where officials weighed whether or not to escalate the war further. According to the Times, few, if any, in Trump's inner circle believed intensifying the bombing campaign was wise.A separate senior official who was briefed on the discussion expressed doubts that resuming major combat operations would push Iran back to the table at all.The “private deliberations” focused on what officials warned was the Pentagon’s “shrinking inventory of Patriot interceptors and other air defenses,” the Times reported.“Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has cautioned privately that resuming major combat operations against Iran was doable but that it would dangerously deplete interceptors available to the military’s Central Command, which is responsible for operations in the Middle East, the officials said,” the Times’ report reads.Earlier this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told a congressional committee that Trump’s deeply unpopular war against Iran had cost taxpayers $37.5 billion so far.The internal skepticism adds to a growing list of signs that the administration's approach to Iran isn't producing the results Trump has publicly promised, even as the financial and human costs of the conflict continue to climb.

Trump blasted after critics suspect he plagiarized joke during ‘excruciating’ WHCD speech

President Donald Trump faced backlash Saturday after critics accused him of recycling a joke that had circulated online for decades during his speech Friday at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.During the event, Trump joked about a text message a senator apparently received from his wife, who said, “when you get home, I want you to immediately come up the stairs and make love to me.” Trump then recalled that the senator said “I can’t do both.”As flagged by the progressive media organization MeidasTouch, Trump’s joke – which the president later claimed to have thought was “the only thing good in this whole frickin’ stupid speech they wrote” – had existed for decades.“Trump (well, his writers) recycled this joke,” reads a Saturday post from MeidasTouch’s X account. “It appeared in a Brad Paisley song released in 2007, a Tampa Tribune article back in 2000, and has been shared numerous other times on the Internet throughout the years.”The recycled material was just one part of what reviewers widely panned as a flop performance. CNN reported that Trump bombed at the dinner, even attempting to meta-joke his way out of it, though his self-deprecating jokes also fell flat.Writer Nick Bryant summed up the reaction bluntly on X."I don't think anybody would label him the comedian-in-chief. Excruciating to watch," Bryant wrote.In his rambling remarks, Trump insulted journalists by name, repurposed old nicknames for political opponents, and made a string of fat jokes that fell flat, and at points appeared to grow frustrated with his own writers over the material he'd been given.Trump (well, his writers) recycled this joke. It appeared in a Brad Paisley song released in 2007, a Tampa Tribune article back in 2000, and has been shared numerous other times on the Internet throughout the years. https://t.co/9ptq6G8tXX pic.twitter.com/QIRjT3Kvn1— MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) July 25, 2026
