Trump vows to seize Iran's oil and 'assume total control' in stunning Truth Social post
President Donald Trump proclaimed on Truth Social on Thursday morning that not only would the United States engage in new offensives against Iran, they are gearing up for an invasion of the country and a seizure of its oil industry."The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT," wrote Trump. Furthermore, he added, "At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America."As of now, Trump's claims about the takeover of Venezuelan oil "working out brilliantly" are unverifiable, because there has been next to no transparency about how that money is being spent.Kharg Island is a major hub for Iran's oil infrastructure, and U.S. forces have attacked it in the past — though experts are highly skeptical that a full invasion and seizure of the island would be defensible.This comes shortly after Trump boasted that he had secretly secured the passage of 100 million barrels of oil through the still-blockaded Strait of Hormuz, a claim analysts say is impossible.

Trump threatens to seize Kharg island as U.S. strikes continue
President Trump said the U.S. will hit Iran with new strikes Thursday and threatened to seize Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export hub. Why it matters: This will be the third consecutive night the U.S. military strikes Iran. U.S. officials say the goal is to push Iran to show more flexibility in the negotiations over its nuclear program. What he is saying: "The United States will be hitting Iran VERY HARD TONIGHT," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account. He added that "at some point in the not too distant future" the U.S. will take over Kharg Island, and other oil facilities in the country "and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets" like it did it Venezuela.

'Every Republican just winced': DC insider reveals 'big problem' Trump created for GOP
This fall's midterm election is a referendum on President Donald Trump, according to a veteran journalist, and he's not making things easy for Republicans trying to hold onto their congressional majorities.Polling has made clear that affordability remains the top voter concern, and Punchbowl News co-founder John Bresnahan told "CNN News Central" that Republicans on Capitol Hill, whom he's covered for decades, were aghast when Trump declared "I love inflation" during an Oval Office event."Oh yeah, Trump is the issue of the election," Bresnahan said. "I mean, he is the biggest issue. His conduct, the war, his handling the economy, his conduct in office. I've got to tell you, I was on the Hill yesterday when he made those comments and they went through the Capitol pretty quickly, and it was just, you know, every Republican just winced. They're upset."Trump was re-elected to a second term on a promise to fix the economy on Day One, but a year and a half later, voters have soured on his handling of the affordability crisis."The messaging they're hearing out of the White House is not about inflation," the well-connected reporter said. "It's not about the economy. It's not about Americans' financial status, their overdue credit card payments. They're struggling to pay for school, and every day that Trump is out talking about Iran, he's talking talking about other issues, he's talking about the 2020 elections is a disaster for Hill Republicans. They're just – it's a big problem for them.""Speaker Mike Johnson can talk, you know, say Trump's labors are focused on inflation, but the American public doesn't think so, Congress doesn't think so – even the Republicans in Congress, I'll tell you that," Bresnhan added. "So this is a big problem for them." - YouTube youtu.be

Crime expert floored by Trump's 'quantum' trail of slush funds: 'Quite remarkable'
An international crime expert was floored by President Donald Trump's "quantum" trail of slush funds that he's set up during his second administration. Jonathan Winer, a former State Department official who investigated international money laundering cases, said during a new episode of the "Court of History" podcast on Wednesday that Trump's slush funds appear quantum in nature because "you never know where [they're] going to end." He referred to the $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund," the U.S.-controlled fund in Qatar established to hold money from Venezuelan oil sales, the so-called Board of Peace, and the America 250 celebration, which is being organized with private donations, and Trump's ballroom. On top of all that, Winer noted that Trump's Department of Justice just gave him immunity from tax cases as part of a settlement over a 2019 case involving the president's leaked tax returns. That settlement has been valued at roughly $100 million, according to public reports."It's really quite remarkable," Winer said. Winer added that there are instances in which Trump used existing federal structures to create slush funds, even those not designed to operate that way. The silver lining, according to Winer, is that there are documentable ways to find out what Trump has been up to. For instance, there will be shipping logs and bank records that correspond with the oil sales. There will also be ways for a future Congress to trace donations to the Board of Peace and other entities controlled by Trump, Winer said. The problem future lawmakers may face is enforcing the laws against Trump if he can prove the money was connected to official activity, Winer added. "Congress has absolute right to investigate it, but the problem is enforcement," he said. "There's no penalty at this point. There's no such thing as contempt of Congress for the president and, on this, no one can go after him criminally if he stole all the money in connection with official activity. So it's essentially impeachment and removal for him."
