Trump wishes 'peace for the world' for his birthday minutes after vow to blow up Iran

In four minutes on Wednesday morning, Donald Trump promised to bomb Iran and wished for world peace.At 11:50, gathered in the Oval Office for the signing of a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill, President Donald Trump turned to reporters with a warning about Iran. "We hit them hard yesterday, and we're gonna hit them again hard today — in case you miss it, in case you don't turn on your television set," he said.Four minutes later, a reporter asked what Trump wished for himself ahead of his 80th birthday."Peace for the world," he said.The day's strikes follow the downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night. Both crew members were rescued by an unmanned drone boat — the first such operation in U.S. military history.Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday that the U.S. "must, of necessity, respond to this attack." By 5 p.m., CENTCOM had launched strikes on Iranian air defense and radar sites near the Strait — "a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression," it said. Iran hit back within hours, targeting U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.Trump also declined Wednesday to rule out hitting civilian infrastructure. Asked about power plants and bridges, he replied: "I'm not gonna say that to you, but I could do that."He blamed Tehran for the collapse of peace talks, accusing Iran of running out the clock on a deal he called "fully negotiated.""They keep playing us for suckers," Trump said. "They dealt with some very stupid presidents."The war began February 28 with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian military and government sites. It has now surpassed 100 days.

Dems have 'clear path' to Senate majority without controversial candidate: CNN data expert

Controversial candidate Graham Platner won the Democratic nomination in Maine's Senate race, but a new analysis found the party doesn't even need him to win to take back control of the U.S. Senate.The Iraq war veteran won his primary race and will face off against Republican Sen. Susan Collins despite allegations of mistreatment by past girlfriends, sexually explicit text messages sent to other women while he was married, questionable comments posted online and getting a tattoo of a Nazi symbol – but CNN's Harry Enten said his campaign is not essential for Democrats. "So that that is the mathematical equation, right?" Enten said. "They need a net one, two, three, four seats. That is what they need to net, and I think that there is this idea out there that if Graham Platner doesn't win in Maine, then it screws the Democrats. That is not true at all. Yes, it may make it more difficult, but they have a real path, even without winning in Maine.""Why don't we just take a look at some polling in some key states, right, some state polling in GOP-held seats," Enten continued. "These are states that Donald Trump won by double digits, but look at this: The Democrats and the average polls are actually slightly ahead. Sherrod Brown in ohio, he's up by three points. He's, of course, the former senator lost the seat back in 2024. How about in Texas, which has not elected a Democrat to the United States senate since 1988? What do we see here? We see James Talarico, again, a small lead well within the margin of error. But the average poll, he's up three points.""So in two states we have polling out in the last few weeks, last few months, when you average it all together, where you actually have Democrats ahead again within the margin of error, but up by three points in two states that Donald Trump won by double digits just two years ago," he added.Platner winning in Maine would obviously help Democrats regain the Senate majority, Enten said, but he said President Donald Trump's unpopularity gave them other paths to victory."If we wind out the map, right, a puncher's chance, at least a 20 percent chance that the Kalshi Prediction Markets, people putting their money where their mouth is, in terms of Democrats winning at least a 20 percent chance, look at this," Enten said. "There are seven GOP-held seats, so the map is actually really wide this year. It has widened out, which is not a big surprise when the president of the United States has an approval rating, if he's lucky, averaging about 40 percent. If you look at most of the polls, it's under 40 percent. Bottom line is, the map is wide. Democrats have a path without Maine. Yes, Maine helps them, but they have a clear path without it." - YouTube youtu.be
