Donald Trump has repeatedly issued and then extended deadline threats against Iran concerning the Strait of Hormuz, drawing criticism for the unfulfilled nature of these ultimatums.

This stance, contradicting his earlier pledges to alleviate these costs, is seen as a significant misstep.

In an unusual early morning social media post, President Donald Trump expressed strong opinions regarding the Supreme Court’s deliberation on birthright citizenship.
