President Donald Trump said the US would strike Iran again Thursday and threatened to take control of the country’s energy infrastructure including the key oil export hub of Kharg Island “at some point.”

President Donald Trump is increasingly turning his fury at Democratic Senate candidates, MS NOW's Jen Psaki said on Wednesday — because he's seen the data and he's getting scared. The president, she noted, "spent part of his time in the Oval Office today ranting about the Democratic nominees for U.S. Senate in the upcoming election. And he seemed to be focused on one candidate in particular" — that being veteran and oyster farmer Graham Platner, who won a landslide nomination in his primary this week despite a cloud of scandals about his personal life.Psaki played a clip of Trump speaking about Platner."Yeah, once that thug that's up in Maine, he's a thug. He's a thug," said Trump. "I know thugs. I had to deal with thugs. I built a lot of buildings. I dealt with worse than thugs. This guy's a thug. He's a low-level thug. But this is a thug. You know, he's not a businessman at all. His parents supported him. He's a loser. Other than that, he might be very nice.""That is Trump's new line of attack against Graham Platner. He's a thug, the kind of thug who — wait for it — needs help from his parents to start a business, as thugs do," said Psaki, taking care to note that Trump himself relied on his father to get his business off the ground.The key takeaway, she continued, is that "Trump is clearly worried about the Senate. He's clearly worried about Graham. He's clearly worried about [Texas nominee] James Talarico ... And he's not the only one," as a memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee warned Maine Sen. Susan Collins is uniquely vulnerable to a challenge from Platner."He's still currently leading Susan Collins in the polls," noted Psaki — and "it comes as Platner released his first general election campaign ad today, focused on how he will take on what he calls the 'Epstein class' in Washington." - YouTube youtu.be

President Donald Trump got torched online after his latest gaffe during an Oval Office event, with numerous observers arguing that he had inadvertently created the perfect midterms attack ad for the Democrats.On Wednesday, Trump was taking part in various events in the Oval Office of the White House, including one honoring the team behind his Reflecting Pool remodeling and another to mark the signing of the $70 billion immigration enforcement funding bill. At one point during the day, he took questions from reporters and was pressed about what he thought about the latest report showing that inflation had reached major levels in the U.S.Instead of expressing remorse or offering comfort to voters struggling with high prices, Trump shared his "love" for the development."No, I love it. I love the inflation," Trump said, before explaining that his optimism was based on oil barrels purportedly seized from Iran. "You know why? Because as soon as this war is over, do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now."It was the first part of that statement, however, that prominent observers on social media seized upon, suggesting that it would make perfect fodder for Democratic attack ads about his lack of care for the state of the economy."Yet another tailor-made ad for the Democrats this midterm season," Zeteo reporter Justin Baragona posted to BlueSky. "Trump admits his pointless war is making your life more expensive, and he loves it," The Tennessee Holler, a popular liberal political account, posted to BlueSky."'Sir say something good about the economy?' 'I love the inflation,'" financial reporter Ed Zitron, a prominent AI critic, posted to BlueSky. "'Something else?' 'I have eaten fifteen dollars in coins this morning and they were very tasty.'""If you're a reporter who's going to ask Republicans about Trump's latest blunder, be sure to have the audio with you ready to play," author and commentator Kevin M. Kruse posted to BlueSky. "Ask them how they feel about Trump saying, 'I love the inflation,' then play the clip, then ask them again. Just get the phrase spoken on film repeatedly.""WOW: Trump says ‘I love the inflation’ after consumer price index hits 3-year high," radio host Dean Obeidallah posted to BlueSky. "Trump reminds us he doesn't care about working class Americans. And the flip side is his oligarchs are making record profits. The entire GOP MUST pay the price for this in November.""If that’s not an ad for the midterms I don’t know what is," popular liberal political creator Joanne Carducci posted to X."If we had a media that worked, Trump saying 'I love the inflation' would be in every headline and news broadcast," writer and reality TV star Hemant Mehta posted to X."People can't afford to feed their families," Democratic Illinois Governor and 2028 contender J.B. Pritzker posted to X. "Your struggle is a joke to him."Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation. pic.twitter.com/8jFiJDo3Su— Molly Ploofkins (@Mollyploofkins) June 10, 2026
