Trump Suggests He’ll Strike Iran Again If Military Buildup Continues

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

President Donald Trump warned Monday that the U.S. could hit Iran again if Tehran rebuilds its nuclear program, delivering the threat as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida for talks.

Trump’s comments follow U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear enrichment sites earlier this year, as the administration tries to keep a Gaza ceasefire from stalling and as Israeli officials voice renewed concern about Iran replenishing ballistic missile stockpiles, according to The Associated Press.

“Now I hear that Iran is trying to build up again,” Trump told reporters. “And if they are, we’re going to have to knock them down. We’ll knock them down. We’ll knock the hell out of them. But hopefully that’s not happening.”

Trump has insisted Iran’s nuclear capabilities were “completely and totally obliterated” by the June strikes, the AP reported. That claim has been a recurring refrain from Trump since the U.S. entered the conflict alongside Israel by targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, according to AP reporting and the AP’s published transcript of his June address.

Fox News also reported Monday that Trump warned Iran against rebuilding its nuclear program and said the U.S. and Israel had already destroyed it, adding that Tehran would be “much smarter” to pursue a deal.

Trump Campaign Rakes In $34 Million After Guilty Verdict

/in , , , , , , , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign said Friday that it raised $34.8 million after he received a guilty verdict in a Manhattan court case.

After about two days of deliberation, a 12 person jury in Manhattan convicted Trump in the case brought by Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. Following the verdict, the former president’s campaign donation page displayed a 500 error stating “something went wrong.” After the news of the site crashing and the verdict, the Trump campaign announced that it had raised $34.8 million.

“From just minutes after the sham trial verdict was announced, our digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support, and despite temporary delays online because of the amount of traffic, President Trump raised $34.8 million dollars from small dollar donors. Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday’s donor’s were brand new donors to the WinRed platform,” Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, Trump campaign senior advisors, said in a statement.

Following the former president’s guilty verdict, the campaign site received major influxes in donations. Among those was Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire who donated $300,000. Former Republican New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin said that he “secured a $800k donation from someone for President Trump’s Joint Fundraising Committee.”
