CNN’s Jake Tapper aired an old clip of P0TUS blasting then-Pres Obama for hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state dinner in 2015. “I would not be throwing him a dinner,” T declared. “We’ve had this conversation. I’d get him a McDonald’s hamburger, and I’d say, ‘We gotta get down to work.'”

Tonight the US struck Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran struck Kuwait. Kuwait activated air defenses against hostile missiles and drones. Both sides say the ceasefire is holding. A ceasefire where both sides are actively firing at each other is not a ceasefire. It is a war without an honest name.
