Trump Promises Iran War Almost Over, Senate Must Please First

KEY POINTS

  • •President Trump told House Republicans in Doral that the conflict in Iran will be over 'pretty quickly' without a set date.
  • •He warned he will not sign any legislation except the SAVE America Act requiring photo IDs at polling stations.
  • •Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed concerns about reviving the talking filibuster, citing unlimited debate and amendments.

At the sunny Doral retreat, President Trump delivered his patented mix of 'we won but not enough' Iran war updates, announcing 'very complete, pretty much' progress on military strikes launched 10 days earlier. While hyping a SAVE America Act that demands photo IDs at polling stations—and threatens to veto all else until it clears the Senate—he casually suggested resurrecting the 'talking filibuster' for those 'old days' vibes. Senate Majority Leader John Thune begged to differ, warning unlimited debates and amendments will turn Congress into an endless Senate sleepover. Surprisingly, Trump is fine with reopening the Department of Homeland Security, reportedly an existential threat exemption. And in classic Trumpian irony, he griped that Democrats 'don’t use the word affordability anymore,' despite inflation and rising gas prices wrecking wallets everywhere.
