- Trump Reveals Why He Agreed to Iran Deal: ‘Stock Market Is More Brilliant Than...
President Donald Trump held a press conference on Wednesday while attending the G7 meeting in France and spoke at length about his Iran peace deal, including a long riff about how the stock market influences his thinking. “The past two days have provided a chance to discuss the details of this historic agreement with many of our closest friends and allies, including the G7 nations and many presidents and prime ministers, as you saw. Prime Minister Modi was here. We had a long talk. He’s a great guy. They are thrilled that we made a deal,” Trump began his remarks, pivoting to the deal: Every one of them. There’s not one nation that came to us and said, “Please, sir, keep dropping bombs on them. Please keep dropping bombs.” That’s what stupid people say. But I’m thrilled to report — and by the way, those last two days were brutal — $200 million worth of bombs. And, you know, it is expensive, too, by the way, aside from everything else. And they knew I was coming for a third night. We informed them we’re coming for a third night. They didn’t have their Navy — it sunk. They didn’t have their Air Force — it’s gone, not one plane. They didn’t have anti-aircraft equipment, so we got free rein. They didn’t have their leaders, but they have a new group of leaders that I think is — actually, I think they’re smarter. I think they’re very smart. I think they’re far less radicalized, and I think they’re really good. They love their country. You know, you talk about regime change — nobody will say that, but I guess that’s… look, their one set of leaders is all gone. The second set of leaders is all gone. Their third set of leaders, a little bit gone, but for the most part — and frankly, I think that’s regime change. I think they’re going to behave much differently. I think that they see a different way of life that they were never exposed to. Trump then launched into a tangent about the market, “So the one thing I didn’t want to see is — I didn’t want to see economic catastrophe. If you kept this going, that could have happened. But all I know is, every time we talked about the possibility of peace, the stock market shot up like… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘F*ck, F*ck, F*ck!’ Tennis Player Defiantly Swears in Post-Match Interview D...
Screenshot French tennis player Corentin Moutet had his post-match interview cut short Monday when he repeatedly dropped the f-bomb against the reporter’s wishes. Moutet defeated fellow Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the round of 32 in the HSBC Championships at the Queen’s Club in London. Following the win, Moutet was seemingly overcome with emotional with let the f-word slip in response to one of the interviewer’s questions. “That’s so frustrating,” Moutet said in reference to Perricard ability to serve the ball at over 140 miles per hour. “You know, when I had the match point, I was on the second serve. ‘Ok, you aim in the middle. Whatever you do, you just put the ball in the court.’ And then he hits me [with] 142. I was like, ‘F*ck.’ I would have to serve and I will have to–” The report quickly jumped in to tell Moutet, “No f-bombs, please.” Moutet appeared to take that as a challenge as he responded with “F*ck, f*ck, f*ck.” The interview quickly took the mic back and said, “No, no, no!” The crowd laughed as the interviewer apologized. When she asked her final question, she asked Moutet to “keep it clean.” Instead of answering the question, he simply repeated the f-word three times again. “OK, Corentin, we need to improve that for the next round,” the interviewer said. “Apologies, everyone. Corentin Moutet!” Moutet’s interview in London was interrupted after he embarrassingly dropping SEVEN F-bombs following his first round win at the Queen’s Club. The interviewer apologized to viewers/crowds several times during the exchange. pic.twitter.com/LFxy0GoQPn — José Morgado (@josemorgado) June 16, 2026 —The post ‘F*ck, F*ck, F*ck!’ Tennis Player Defiantly Swears in Post-Match Interview Despite Reporter’s Plea to ‘Keep it Clean’ first appeared on Mediaite.

(Graeme Sloan/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) A new poll conducted by CNN and SSRS found that more than half of Americans say they don’t have any source they trust for political news — not even CNN. Recent polls have shown Americans have deeply negative views on issues like the economy and inflation. They’re also tying a lot of that negativity to Republicans, with President Donald Trump in the White House and a GOP majority in both the House and Senate, and giving Democrats a dose of hope about November. Americans are also deeply cynical about the media. A Gallup poll last October showed that trust in media had sunk to its lowest level ever since the pollster began tracking the issue in the 1970s. Seventy percent of Americans said they had “not very much” confidence or “none at all” in mass media like newspapers, TV, and radio to report the news “fully, accurately and fairly.” The latest CNN survey shows that pessimism has not abated. The poll was conducted between May 7 and 31, 2026 among 2,480 Americans 18 years or older, online or by phone, and with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. When asked, “Which best describes your approach to following what happens in American politics?”, 33% said they frequently seek out the latest political news, 32% follow major developments in politics but don’t seek them out, 26% only pay as much attention to politics as necessary, and 9% don’t follow politics at all. This showed a slight uptick in interest in political news from a previous poll taken April 30 to May 4, in which 26% said they frequently seek out the latest political news, 36% follow major developments in politics but don’t seek them out, 29% only pay as much attention to politics as necessary, and 9% don’t follow politics at all. The pollsters tracked an extensive list of answers to a question about trust in media. The full text of the question asked: There are a lot of different ways to find out what’s happening in politics. Some people hear about it from journalists and the news, from celebrities or online influencers, from academic or political experts, from business leaders, or people in their own community and social circle. For you, personally, is there a specific person or source you trust to tell you about what’s happening in politics?

Trump riffed at length, attacking Democrats when asked about his decision to try to delay the confirmation hearing for his pick for director of national intelligence. “It was like a rush act by the Democrats, and they said they were going to approve FISA. And I said, but we want FISA approved, but want the Save America Act approved. Voter ID, proof of citizenship, no mail-in ballots, with exceptions, like for the military, sick — you’re sick, or you’re traveling, disabled — very open and generous. We also want no men playing in women’s sports,” Trump fumed, rattling off some of his greatest hits, adding: Until we went… No transgender mutilization of our children. None. Those are five things that are 99%… I mean, that’s all we want. It’s not a lot. The Save America Act, and that can be passed. Anyway, they want to pass it, but I’m not going to sign FISA unless it’s done. And this was like a Russia Act. And it was a Russia Act by the Democrats. All of a sudden, they wanted to get… And why are they afraid of this guy? I mean, they’re so afraid of him. They’ll do anything not to have Pulte go in there. He’s a very capable guy, and they’re worried about that. A reporter then jumped in, “You said the deal — the Iran deal — the text is still being finalized. How confident are you that this Friday signing will happen?” “You’re talking about this one, on the deal? You know, deals are amazing. I’ve done them all my life. I’ve gone into deals that were 100%, and they don’t happen. I’ve gotten into deals that there was no chance of getting them done, and it happens, and they happen easily. So you never know with deals, do you?” Trump replied, adding: But you’re gonna find out pretty soon. I think it’ll be done. They want to sign, and then they want to… get back to a normal life. You know, we hit them very hard. Don’t forget, you know, people talk about when this started. This didn’t start three, four months ago. This started years ago when I took out Soleimani. That was a… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Top GOP Senator Tom Cotton Defies Trump in Heated Battle Over DNI Nominee
(Julia Demaree Nikhinson/Cliff Owen/AP photo) Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton (R-AR) stood firm against President Donald Trump on Wednesday after the commander-in-chief announced he was canceling a planned Senate confirmation hearing for his pick for Director of National Intelligence. In a statement posted to X, Cotton voiced opposition to Trump’s earlier statement that the White House was canceling Jay Clayton’s confirmation hearing, which is scheduled for later Wednesday. “Jay Clayton is a pending nominee before the Intelligence Committee,” Cotton posted to X. “We will proceed with his hearing as scheduled unless the president directs him not to appear or withdraws his nomination.” Jay Clayton is a pending nominee before the Intelligence Committee. We will proceed with his hearing as scheduled unless the president directs him not to appear or withdraws his nomination. — Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) June 17, 2026 Cotton later confirmed that the hearing was off, because Clayton was told not to appear. “It’s regrettable that the president has directed Jay Clayton not to appear at his confirmation hearing today,” Cotton said in an X post at about noon, two hours before it was scheduled to begin. “Mr. Clayton is a patriot and a highly qualified nominee, as the president has said repeatedly. While today’s hearing is now unfortunately postponed, I look forward to proceeding with his confirmation in the near future.” It’s regrettable that the president has directed Jay Clayton not to appear at his confirmation hearing today.

Tillis says it’s a “bad move” and “a mistake” for Trump to pull Jay Clayton’s nomination to DNI: “I think it's undermining our ability to produce the very results he wants.” “We are not the manufacturing department of the Article II branch, we are the board of directors for the… — Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) June 17, 2026 Also on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told Punchbowl News’s Andrew Desiderio, “We’ll just have to take… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - JD Vance Admits Why Iran Deal Details Are Being Held Back: ‘Some Diplomatic Pr...Vice President JD Vance admitted he doesn’t “fully understand” some of the “diplomatic protocols” preventing the administration from releasing details of the U.S.-Iran deal sooner. Vance joined CBS’s Norah O’Donnell on Wednesday morning following multiple outlets publishing details from a deal between the United States and Iran, which potentially includes Iran policing the Strait of Hormuz and seeing sanctions lifted. President Donald Trump has stressed the deal will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Vance told O’Donnell there have been “misrepresentations” of the deal in media coverage and blasted The Wall Street Journal editorial board for calling the agreement a “strategic retreat.” Vance explained that sanctions could be lifted for the Iranians if they stop “the funding of terrorism” and any pursuit of a nuclear weapon. “The president says he wants to put this war in the rearview mirror, and yet this framework remains silent. Why not allow the world to see whatever this deal is that you signed?” O’Donnell asked Vance. The vice president explained: Yes, so there’s some frankly diplomatic protocols that I don’t fully understand. The Qataris and the Pakistanis, who have been helpful in mediating this agreement with the Iranians, they’ve asked us not to release the full text for a little while. It’ll come out at the latest on Friday. We’re actually trying to push them to get it out today because we want to tell the American people what’s in this deal. It’s fundamentally a good deal for the American people, but it’s also very simple and I’ve also seen some some misrepresentations about it. So, and in short, what it does is it opens the Strait of Hormuz immediately. This is why you see oil prices down in the 70s from a high in the 120s is because you’re seeing the Strait already open its traffic to the flow of oil and gas. It also provides a framework whereby if the Iranians give us what we need on stopping the funding of terrorism, on no longer pursuing a nuclear weapon, then they can get some benefits, be reinvited into the world economy. And when I say benefits, I’m talking about sanctions relief on their economy.
