Trump: “The Chancellor of Germany should be fixing his broken Country”

Latest news:

  • Trump said the US “might need” to restart war with Iran, even while claiming Iran’s leaders “want to make a deal badly”.
  • Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the US’s naval blockade on Iranian ports amounts to “an extension of military operations” and is “intolerable”.

Trump slams Germany’s Merz again as rift over Iran war widens

Berlin says ‘prepared’ for fewer US troops, as Trump says German chancellor should focus on European affairs, not Iran.

 

Trump scolds Germany’s Merz for criticism of Iran war

“The Chancellor of Germany should spend more time on ending the war with Russia/Ukraine (Where he has been totally ineffective!), and fixing his broken Country, especially Immigration and Energy, and less time on interfering with those that are getting rid of the Iran Nuclear threat,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

He added that the war on Iran, which has sent energy prices soaring across the globe, is “making the World, including Germany, a safer place”.

The episode underscores the fraying effects of the Iran war on the US-Europe alliance, which Trump launched jointly with Israel without consulting Washington’s NATO partners.

On Wednesday, Trump said his administration is considering scaling back the number of US troops in Germany, where Washington’s military presence is seen as the centre of its security umbrella over Europe.

Berlin has said it is ready for the possibility of fewer US soldiers on its soil while emphasising NATO cooperation.

  • Oil prices surge as Trump warns Iran blockade could last months

    President Donald Trump says a US naval blockade against Iran could last months, leading oil prices to spike to their highest in more than four years.

In a post early Wednesday on Truth Social, Trump sharpened his tone, writing that Iran “can’t get their act together” and warning, “No more Mr. Nice Guy,” signaling a tougher posture as negotiations remain stalled.

Trump went on to call the US blockade of Iranian ports “genius” and “foolproof”.

Iran “has to cry uncle, that’s all they have to do. Just say, ‘We give up’,” Trump added.

TRUMP VOWS TO MAINTAIN IRAN BLOCKADE UNTIL NUCLEAR TERMS MET

TEHRAN THREATENS ‘UNPRECEDENTED’ RESPONSE

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will maintain the U.S. naval blockade on Iran until the regime “cries uncle” and agrees to a deal ensuring it will never obtain nuclear weapons.

Speaking in a phone interview with Axios earlier in the day, Trump explained that he rejected a proposal from Tehran that would have involved reopening the Strait of Hormuz and easing the blockade before addressing the nuclear issue, making clear he will not lift the blockade until Iran agrees to U.S. demands.

Trump says King Charles ‘agrees’ that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon

The US president, who is hosting the UK’s King Charles III at the White House, has addressed the war on Iran in a speech at a state dinner.

He said his administration was “doing a little Middle East work right now” and that the situation was “going very well”.

“We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever – Charles agrees with me even more than I do – we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon,” he added.

The deep ties between the United States and Britain are over…

Charles endorsed NATO – which most Americans found distasteful and inappropriate given the UK and Europe’s lack of support.

Urging Trump and the U.S. to work with the Europeans that have betrayed the U.S. Charles and his idiotic ‘climate change’ rhetoric and supporting the faux climate change con.

And Charles didn’t mention his pedo brother Andrew…

Iran Could Start “Exploding from Within” as Its Oil Capacity Is Stretched to the Max

The United Arab Emirates is walking away from OPEC after nearly 60 years of membership. The withdrawal takes effect on May 1, and it strips the cartel of one of its three largest producers in the middle of an active war, with the Strait of Hormuz still contested.
 
Read between the lines of this announcement. For half a century, OPEC dictated what Americans paid at the pump, and the cartel used energy as a weapon against the United States and our allies. President Trump called it out for exactly what it was, which is a rigged system designed to rip off the American people and the rest of the free world.
 
Today, the cracks are showing for everyone to see. That cartel is fracturing under the leadership of a Commander in Chief who refuses to let foreign capitals dictate the price of a gallon of gas in America or the security of the American homeland.

Iran Negotiations: Iran tries to play President Trump for a fool

NYPost Editorial: Iran’s peace offer tries to play President Trump for a fool

Iran has no leverage in this game of chicken. While they threaten to harass commercial shipping through the Persian Gulf, the US has blocked all Iranian shipping.

Not only does that prevent Iran from selling its oil, it means that the Iranians have to store millions of barrels of oil that are being pumped every day.

But their storage capacity is quickly running out.

Pumping oil isn’t a matter of turning a spigot on and off. Shutting down productive wells means risking their usability forever, because the oil flow will effectively destroy the wellhead.

Iran’s latest “peace” offer — which President Donald Trump would be nuts to consider — continues the Islamic Republic’s history of playing from a posture of strength when the regime is actually in a state of near-collapse.

Now the mullahs say they will agree to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for an end to the hostilities.

Yet the nuclear question will remain off the table for now … future talks TBD.

What chutzpah! The whole war was started to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons, so why would the United States — which paused its hell-storm to give the Iranians a chance to get their minds right — give up a key demand, as though we were the ones on our heels?

Iran’s foreign-policy strategy seems to be “fake it ’til you make it.” Its leaders — whoever they are at the moment — think that if they pretend to be a major world power, and demand to be treated as such, eventually Washington will partake in the fantasy.

Iran To Send Revised Proposal To US In ‘Days’ As ‘Tank Tops’ Loom, Trump Claims Iran “Informed Us They Are In State Of Collapse”

Iran’s counter is that it has three M’s on its side:“munitions, markets, and the midterms.“

  • Trump TS claim: Tehran has informed Washington they are in a “state of collapse” and that the Iranians want the US to “open the Hormuz Strait” – as ‘tank tops’ loom.

  • Trump doesn’t appear open to Iran’s proposal which hinges on US naval blockade ending & nuclear issue being pushed to future negotiations (CNN). Tehran working on revised plan to be sent in ‘few days’.

  • First crude-laden Japanese tanker from Saudi port exits Hormuz Strait successfully without Iranian interference.

  • Iranian analyst describes that Tehran believes it can outlast Trump & the standoff with US in Hormuz, citing “munitions, markets, and the midterms.”

Trump: Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon – not now, not ever

That is his bottom line.

So it seems unlikely he will sign up to any sort of deal that would allow Iran to postpone those nuclear talks for the time being.

He’s also very much aware the blockade is doing significant economic damage to Iran. He thinks it’s putting the Iranians under extreme pressure and, as he said on social media, he’s waiting for Iran to effectively sort out its leadership so they can work out who to speak to.

  • US President Donald Trump’s national security team is reviewing an Iranian plan to halt the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, while postponing talks on its nuclear programme.
  • Israel and Hezbollah continue to trade fire as the death toll from Israeli attacks on Lebanon since an April 17 “ceasefire” rises to at least 40 people.
  • Dozens of nations have called for the “urgent and unimpeded reopening” of the Strait of Hormuz, with UN chief Antonio Guterres warning that the US-Iran standoff in the waterway risks triggering a global food emergency.

Strait of Hormuz should have ‘never been closed’

Qatar’s FM spokesperson al-Ansari says they are engaging with all their interlocutors over reopening the Strait.

“We believe it should have never been closed and it should be opened immediately, regardless of other considerations going on in the region,” he said.

Qatar in favour of ‘comprehensive deal’ to end conflict

The spokesperson said that Doha would be in favour of a “comprehensive deal” to end the conflict, following a question about reports that Iran wants to decouple Hormuz talks from nuclear discussions.

Lebanon:

Lebanon began discussing the group’s full disarmament, while debates raged within the country over Hezbollah’s future as a military and political power.

However, Hezbollah is now back on the battlefield, fighting Israel in southern Lebanon and appears not to be as degraded a fighting force as many had believed.

JB Pritzker on ABC on 4/27/2026

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) defends invoking Nazi Germany in reference to the Trump administration, doubling down after a Democrat voter attempted to assassinate the president: “The institutions of this democracy are being attacked by the Republicans and by Donald Trump.”

James Carville regarding President Trump:

“I do not want that man to die. I want to watch him suffer. And I can’t watch a dead person suffer.”

Carville gloats that Democrats will go after President Trump and his family if they regain control of Congress after the midterms:

“They’re going to start going after you… Then they’re going to go after your stupid jacka– kids and their spouses and all the other bulls— that you see, and they’re going to investigate the s— out of you.”

“I detest Donald John Trump in a way that I never ever thought I could hate another human being — with the passion and the depth that I hate f*cking Donald Trump!”

How do we end left-wing violence?

President Trump just survived yet another attempt on his life, and at some point, America has to stop pretending this is normal. It’s not. The left has a big, bloodthirsty murder problem.

“They seem to think he was a lone wolf, and I feel that too,” he said, after posting video of the suspect sprinting past security as guards drew their weapons.

’Not a Particularly Secure Building ’: POTUS Demands Ballroom

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a shocking display of the Party of Peace and Tolerance’s unwavering commitment to non-violence, a gunman armed with a shotgun attempted to breach security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night and open fire on President Donald Trump.
 
According to sources who spoke on condition of total media silence, the suspect — described only as “a concerned citizen exercising his First Amendment rights” — fired multiple shots near the magnetometer screening area before Secret Service agents heroically tackled him, evacuated Trump and the entire cabinet, and then immediately issued a statement reminding everyone that “this is not who we are.”
 
Trump, who was rushed from the ballroom unharmed, later posted on Truth Social that the shooter had been apprehended. No one was injured, unless you count the feelings of MSNBC hosts who had to cancel their “Trump Is Literally Hitler” segments for the evening.
 
“This is a tragic reminder that we must redouble our efforts to ban assault shotguns and common-sense security theater,” said an anonymous DNC strategist who asked to remain unidentified because his job depends on pretending Democrats aren’t the party of stochastic terrorism.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz calls US-Israel war on Iran “completely unnecessary”

Sure thing, schmucky.

Business is good with the mullah regime. Why worry about  fanatical 12-ers plotting to nuke Israel?

The German government defied US sanctions on Iran’s clerical regime on Monday, by continuing to insure its companies with export credit – 911 million euro for 58 companies.

German leader calls US-Israel-Iran war ‘completely unnecessary’

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has described the US-Israel war on Iran as “completely unnecessary”.

Merz said the war was contributing to rising instability, affecting Europe, Asia and the US. He stressed that only a united Europe could respond effectively to the emerging challenges.

“We have spent two days meeting with the 27 heads of state and government of the European Union to discuss how to tackle major challenges that lie ahead, including the Iran conflict and this completely unnecessary war there, as well as many other challenges we face,” said the chancellor.

He added that Europe must adjust to shifting global conditions. “We must accept this new economic reality, however difficult it may be.”

Despite sanctions, Germany supports Iran trade with nearly 1 billion in credit

The German Press Agency revealed the credit guarantee figure on Saturday, noting that the nearly 1 billion euros have been provided to German firms to protect their business with Iran.

Trump: ‘Nobody Knows Who Is in Charge in Iran’

Trump Cancels Witkoff, Kushner Islamabad Trip for Iran Talks

Calls It Waste of Time Because ‘Nobody Knows Who Is in Charge’

President Donald J. Trump delivers remarks at a press conference, March 9, 2026. (Official

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he has canceled a planned trip by U.S. representatives, including Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner, to Pakistan for talks with Iranian officials, citing time wasted on traveling and work and describing what he called “infighting” and “confusion” within Iran’s so-called “leadership.”

Trump cancels Witkoff and Kushner trip to Pakistan for talks

  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has departed Islamabad, Pakistan, after holding high-level meetings and delivering Tehran’s list of demands for ending the war to Pakistani officials.
  • US President Donald Trump ⁠later cancelled a ⁠planned trip to Pakistan by ‌envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff for peace ⁠talks with Iran saying it takes too much time and is too expensive.

The White House will say that they want to hear what the Iranians have to say, and if there is something significant, substantial, and moving towards a deal, then JD Vance and also Marco Rubio will be called over to Islamabad to essentially tie up the deal.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) said that we have to finish the job with Iran and “Iran may not end until we bankrupt them, just as we did the Soviet Union.”
