Trump just proved he's 'the most powerful idiot' in world history: columnist
President Donald Trump's latest effort to settle the war with Iran proves that he is "the most powerful idiot in the history of the world," according to one columnist. David Rothkopf, a columnist at The Daily Beast, argued in a new column on Sunday that Trump's decision to impose a retaliatory blockade on the Strait of Hormuz showed the president is operating with the "strategic acumen of a four-year-old in a fight on a pre-school playground." The Iranian regime has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to the U.S. and Israel launching a coordinated bombing campaign across Iran in late February. The closure has sent global energy prices skyrocketing. "He is undoubtedly the most powerful idiot in the history of the world," Rothkopf wrote. "Both his idiocy and his power are unparalleled. On the latter point, his position as president and commander-in-chief of the most dominant, potent nation confirms that no idiot since the beginning of time has ever been in a position to do so much damage to so many people as a consequence of his idiocy," he added. "On the prior point, just look at the record," Rothkopf continued. "The misbegotten, ill-considered, going-from-bad-freaking-worse every damn day War with Iran illustrates Trump’s manifold mental deficiencies with shocking clarity—and, unfortunately for all of us, the damage he is doing seems certain to touch more lives in more egregious ways going forward than it already has."

Trump-endorsed autocrat in Hungary concedes election loss after 16 years in power
Viktor Orbán, the autocratic Hungarian president and staunch Russian ally, conceded defeat in the country's national election on Sunday, ending his 16-year reign in power, according to reports. The Associated Press reported that with 60% of the vote counted, opposition leader Peter Magyar’s party held 52% of the vote compared to Orbán's 38% support. Orbán described the loss as "painful." "It’s a major blow for Orbán, the European Union’s longest-serving leader and one of its biggest antagonists, who has traveled a long road from his early days as a liberal, anti-Soviet firebrand to the Russia-friendly nationalist admired today by the global far-right," the AP reported. Trump endorsed Orbán in a Truth Social post on Friday, calling him " a truly strong and powerful leader." Trump added that the U.S. stood ready to "strengthen Hungary's economy," if Orbán won.
US ally calls out Trump's fibbing about helping to 'clean out' the Strait of Hormuz
A key U.S. ally called out President Donald Trump's fibbing about other countries agreeing to help the U.S. "clean out" land mines from the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday. Trump claimed during an interview on Fox News that “it won’t take long to clean out the Strait,” referring to reports that the Iranian regime had planted several sea mines in the area to depress shipping through the waterway. Trump also claimed that “numerous countries are going to be helping us," a claim that was swiftly undercut by a spokesperson for the government of the United Kingdom, The Guardian reported."The U.K. will not be involved in any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the Guardian understands, after claims by Donald Trump on Sunday that the U.S. would be blockading the waterway with the assistance of NATO allies," the outlet reported. The U.K. spokesperson added that the Strait of Hormuz "must not be subject to tolling." "We are urgently working with France and other partners to put together a wide coalition to protect freedom of navigation," the spokesperson said. The announcement came at a time when the U.S.-Iran ceasefire appears fragile, and Vice President JD Vance announced on Saturday that peace talks between the two nations had broken down.
