HE plans to speak at 530 EDT

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cz0g2yg3579t

(snip)
Donald Trump has just announced an unexpected news conference at 17:30 local time (21:30 GMT) in Doral, the Miami suburb where he has spent the weekend.

It will follow a Republican event in which Trump will meet House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican members of the House of Representatives.

The US President has been making a handful of phone calls to journalists regarding Iran, and we spoke to him on Air Force One on Saturday.

Trump is likely to be asked about rising petrol prices, as well as his thoughts on Iran’s new leadership and how he views the potential “end game” in the country.

…for not taking their country back themselves, after ALL Trump has done for them.
So Trump will declare victory, as far as he’s concerned, and blame everyone else.
Leaving nothing but a giant mess.

Let's see, Beat the Bridge is on at 5:30 on GSN. I think I'll watch that.

I will read about it later here on DU. Thank you in advance to those willing to take one for the team. I just can't look at him or hear him speak. Life's too short.
