President Trump appearing today on TIME’s cover for the 56th time, putting him one ahead of Richard Nixon’s 55.
Takeaways after reading @EricCortellessa piece.
Biggest foreign-policy headlines -- Trump says that if the U.S. can't reach a deal with Iran, he could ramp up bombing after the midterms.
Trump also acknowledges the Iran war has depleted some U.S. munitions, saying certain forms of ammunition are “a little bit lower” than others.
The President also says he does not believe reports that Netanyahu received warnings from Egypt and the UAE ahead of the Oct. 7 attack and stopped short of endorsing Netanyahu for reelection.
On AI -- when asked about reports of OpenAI agents accessing federal government websites, Trump responded: “Who breached it? They’re not allowed to do that.”
When asked who, exactly, is perpetrating the supposed hoax of AI concern, Trump threw his hands in the air. “The whole country is based on fake stuff,” he says, “because these people have Trump derangement syndrome.”
On the White House -- Trump claimed the Secret Service wanted to tear down and rebuild the Oval Office, but said he intervened, telling them: “My ass, you can’t build a new one. This is a special place.”
