The SAVE America Act barely came up at a Wednesday lunch with Senate Republicans that became a vent session for President Donald Trump. The Iran conflict consumed much of the closed-door meeting, which took place one day after the Senate passed a measure to limit his war powers, and Trump was fuming over the four […]

Meet the two men who are getting paid $50,000 (£37,800) to watch every single World Cup match from a glass enclosed living room in the middle of Times Square.
President Trump's lunch with GOP senators devolved into a lengthy shouting match between him and outgoing Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.).Why it matters: Trump's handling of the war in Iran and the Senate's passage of a war powers resolution consumed the conversation, despite Trump's renewed pressure to pass a voter ID bill and kill the filibuster.Trump kicked things off by calling out the four Republican senators who voted Tuesday for the war powers resolution to rein in his military campaign in Iran. Cassidy then stood up, telling Trump, "You have not told the American people what's going on. It was supposed to last four weeks. It's lasted four months," the senator told reporters afterward.It went off the rails from there. The president twisted the knife, bringing up Cassidy's recent primary loss to a Trump-backed challenger, Cassidy and others said."If someone tries to bully me and say, 'Wait a second, because I am whatever I am, I'm going to bully you.' I ain't going to put up with it because I'm sticking up for my people," Cassidy told reporters. "I make no apologies for standing up to the president."Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) described the lunch as "spirited." One source in the room described Cassidy's anger level as "out of body." Trump, at one point, told Cassidy to sit down.Between the lines: Trump urged senators to pass the SAVE America Act and do away with the filibuster — demands he has made numerous times before. But there was little productive conversation about the next step for SAVE, nor the fate of a bipartisan housing bill after Trump canceled a planned Wednesday signing ceremony at the last minute. Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) did not say anything during the lunch, sources said. "I think everybody walked out with the very same opinion they had before he came in, but, you know, we heard him out," Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) told reporters of the debate about doing away with the filibuster. What they're saying: "The President got a lot of things off his chest," Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) told Axios.Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who organized the lunch, told reporters that Trump was "disappointed" with senators who had voted for the war powers resolution. "I think if I was a president, and I was in the middle of a negotiation to try to protect American lives, I would be frustrated too," Scott said. Zoom out: Trump was joined by top officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and special envoy Steve Witkoff. Trump defended the Iran deal and praised Vice President JD Vance extensively for his role in securing the agreement, sources familiar with the discussion told Axios.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that President Donald Trump will be presenting the World Cup trophy to the victors of the global soccer tournament.While Infantino has presented the trophy in the last two tournaments under his administration, he said Tuesday that the president will join him for the presentation this year.'It’s an amazing success. ... I would like to be able to have the people that voted for me to be able to go.' "We will be together with the president enjoying the final and handing the trophy to the winner, of course, together," Infantino said to the hosts of "Fox & Friends.""We are together all the time," he added. Other heads of state have presented the World Cup trophy to the victors, including King Juan Carlos of Spain to the Italian team in 1982 and Queen Elizabeth II to the English Three Lions team in 1966. The championship match will be played on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The World Cup events in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico have been a big hit on social media, where foreign visitors have praised the prosperity of the U.S., the food and party atmosphere of Mexico, and also Canada."Americans, take note! We really do live in the BEST country in the world," responded Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck. "Don't listen to the media. Listen to everyone coming here for the World Cup, and the tourists and immigrants who came before them who have learned how blessed we are to live in the Land of the Free."Trump meanwhile has praised the success of the games while criticizing the high prices of tickets, which have boxed out many fans. "I know that is extremely successful. Setting every record in the book. They’ve never had anything like it," said the president in comments to the New York Post. "If people from Queens and Brooklyn and all of the people that love Donald Trump can’t go, I would be disappointed, but, you know, at the same time, it’s an amazing success," he added. "I would like to be able to have the people that voted for me to be able to go."RELATED: World Cup fans from Scotland drink Boston dry — and then clean up after themselves The word "covfefe" crashed into the U.S. lexicon after Trump mysteriously posted the word in a message on social media just after midnight on May 31, 2017."Despite the constant negative press covfefe," the president wrote. "Who can figure out the true meaning of 'covfefe' ??? Enjoy!" he added later in a second post.The word became one of the jokes in the comical pantheon of the Trump era, used by his foes to mock him, but also used by his supporters as a humorous pro-Trump reference. The president has never revealed the true covfefe meaning.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
