Donald Donald Trump is having a meltdown on late Sunday afternoon as the strikes on Iran do not seem to have been as successful as he initially claimed. He's now posting, make Iran great again, and calling for regime change. And this follows earlier today, Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth saying that there is no intention for regime change. And then Donald Trump's vice president, J.D. Vance, went on the morning shows and said,

the United States is not pursuing regime change. But here Donald Trump is saying MIGA, make Iran great again, and regime change? Here's what he posted. He goes, it's not politically correct to use the term regime change, but if the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be regime change? Make Iran great again! As our editor in chief Ron Filipkowski writes, just when the paid MAGA shills got done cranking out 36 hours of post to their divided cult that this was only about nukes and not about regime change, Trump does it again.

Now this was earlier today when JD Vance was on Meet the Press and he says, our view has been very clear and has not changed. We don't want regime change. Here's JD Vance saying at PlayThisClip. And then we want to talk to the Iranians about a long-term settlement here. Now here's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the mission was not and has never been about regime change, the exact opposite of what Donald Trump just posted. Play this clip. So is regime change off the table, Mr. Secretary? And to the chairman, you said the battle damage assessment is still ongoing, but do you believe that some nuclear capability in Iran remains? This mission was not and has not been about regime change.

The president authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program and the collective self-defense of our troops and our ally Israel. Now Donald Trump is posting that the he posted this as well about a half hour ago The damage to the nuclear sites in Iran is said to be quote Monumental the hits were hard and accurate. Great skill was shown by our military. Thank you exclamation point. However, that's not what the intelligence seems to be showing right now. It seems that the Fordow complex was not completely destroyed. There's also a bunch of messages as well coming out from J.D. Vance

and others like this from the Wall Street Journal. J.D. Vance signals that Iran still controls enriched uranium stockpile. So that would seem to undercut everything that Donald Trump is saying there. Also, even Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says the extent of damages is still to be seen. Again, more hedging right there. Also, this is what CNBC was reporting moments ago. US is now calling on China to prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz and disrupting global oil flows. So the United States, which was once a superpower, now has to go and beg China's leader Xi Jinping

to help stop Iran from disrupting global oil flows. So Trump is begging Xi Jinping right now. That's what is taking place. Also, Donald Trump is posting the following. Just look at the way this visually looks. It looks like a crazy person wrote this. And Donald Trump in this message is attacking Thomas Massey of Kentucky.

And here's what he says, Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. Actually, MAGA doesn't want him, doesn't know him, and doesn't respect him. He is a negative force who almost always votes no, no matter how good something may be. He's a simple-minded grandstander who thinks it's good politics for Iran to have the highest level nuclear weapon while at the same time yelling death to America at every chance they get. Iran has killed and maimed thousands of Americans and even took over the embassy in Tehran under

the Carter administration. We had a spectacular military success yesterday, taking the bomb right out of their hands and they would use it if they could. But as usual, and despite the praise and accolades received, this lightweight congressman is against what was so brilliantly achieved the last night in Iran. Masi is weak, ineffective, and votes no on virtually everything put before him. Rand Paul Jr. and then Donald Trump goes on and just continues to whine there but you see oh you know I had to do it. Moink. Four companies control over 80% of the

US meat industry. China now controls the largest portion of US pork. These companies are using mobster-like tactics to crush American family farms, and with the additives they're putting into our food, Americans are stuck with sketchy meat. So what can we do about it? Let me tell you about a company that's coming up swinging on behalf of American Family Farms and your family's food security. It's called Moink. As I said at the beginning, Moink Moink.

The business is simple. Moink's meat comes from animals raised outdoors where a pig is free to be a pig. Their farmers are given an honest day's pay for an honest day's work and they deliver meat straight to your doorstep at prices that you can actually afford. Born, raised, and harvested right here in the United States. Support American Family Farms and join the Moink movement today at moinkbox.com slash Midas Touch right now and get free wings for life.

He is attacking Republicans for basically reiterating what Donald Trump's campaign position was, which was no wars in the Middle East. But of course we know that Trump was lying.

Donald Trump also posted the following. He refers to himself as Donnacht. He spells his name wrong. Here's what he posts. The great B-2 pilots have just landed safely in Missouri. Thank you for a job well done. And he spells his name Donnacht, D-O-N-A-K-D J. Trump, President of the United States. And it's just post after post like this looking incredibly, incredibly erratic.

What other information are we learning right now as well? There's something called Pickaxe Mountain, that there's another Iran, lesser known underground nuclear facility that's actually deeper than Fordow, which may have enriched uranium as well. There may be a place where there is nuclear capabilities. Iran is claiming that they've been able to remove the nuclear capabilities before the attack on Fordow. Lots of leaders in Iran are claiming that the Trump regime choreographed when the strikes would take place because the Trump regime was hoping it would just be a one-off strike, the way they killed Soleimani in 2020, and then that the Trump regime would just move on.

And that enabled Iran to move some of its weapons or move some of its materials outside of those facilities. We also know that Iran's foreign minister is now taking a trip to meet with Vladimir Putin. As we speak, he's going to be flying to Russia as part of a defense pact between Russia and Iran that Donald Trump clearly does not or didn't know about or take into account for, but if Trump knew basics about politics, he would know that. You have Israel Media, Channel 13, reporting the following, the Iranian nuclear program cannot be destroyed with bombs even if we attack it for another year with the Americans. So it seems as it is becoming more clear that this attack was not as effective as advertised, the Trump regime is changing its view on it and now it's regime change

and make Iran great again. I want to share this with you because this happened a little bit earlier as well where you had Marco Rubio on Face the Nation and he was asked Why would you do this if your intelligence said that Iran couldn't build a nuclear weapon anytime soon and Rubio goes Well, that's irrelevant here play this clip Are you saying there that the United States did not see intelligence that the supreme leader had ordered? weaponization That's irrelevant I think that question being asked on the media all that's any relevant question

That is the key point in us intelligence assessment. You know, it's not yes. It was not political decision I know that better than you know that, and I know that that's not the case. But I'm asking you whether the order was given. And the people who say that, it doesn't matter if the order was given. They have everything they need to build nuclear weapons. Why would you bury things in a mountain 300 feet under the ground? Why would you bury six? Why do they have 60% enriched uranium?

You don't need 60% enriched uranium. The only countries in the world that have uranium at 60% are countries that have nuclear weapons because it can quickly make it 90. They have all the elements. Why do they have a space program? Is Iran gonna go to the moon? No, they're trying to build an ICBM so they can one day put a warhead on it.

That's a question of intent. And you know in the intelligence assessment that it was that Iran wanted to be a threshold state to use this leverage. How do you know what the intelligence assessment says? I'm talking about the public March assessment. And that's why I was asking you if you know something more from March. That's an accurate representation of it. That's not how intelligence is read. That's not how intelligence is used. Now, why would that be irrelevant? Wouldn't that be most relevant before getting the US into

protracted wars in Iran? And finally, Donald Trump's been attacking again, MAGA Republican Thomas Massey for basically saying the things that Trump was saying before. And here's Thomas Massey this morning on Face the Nation. You can see for yourself. Let's play it. The speaker of the house who is from your own party has really rejected this. He says the Article One power of Congress

really allows for the president to do this. It was a limited, necessary, targeted strike, he says. Well, he's probably referring to the War Powers Act of 1973, but that's been misinterpreted. There was no imminent threat to the United States, which was what would authorize that. And I think that's peculiar to hear that from the Speaker of the House. Look, Congress was on vacation last week when all this was happening.

You haven't been briefed on any of these things. We haven't been briefed. They should have called us all back. And frankly, we should have debated this War Powers Resolution that Ro Khanna and I offered instead of staying on vacation and doing fundraisers and saying, oh, well, the president's got this under control. We're going to cede our constitutional authority. Ro Khanna.
