Strong chance that Iran will wait until Trump leaves office before unleashing its stockpile so maybe four years before kick off?

Big difference between kissing arses and being quietly diplomatic.
Saying they have ‘slapped the US in the face’ amongst other things and ridiculous boasts of the ‘great Iran’ won’t go down well in the White House, and linked to refusals for nuclear inspections in the years ahead could lead to more bombing of their country.Not sensible.

Or bombing by them of other countries? Iran won't go quietly which is a danger to all of us.

Agree Oreo 27 and female

Oreo Sat 28-Jun-25 09:49:08

Whoa!
Steady on there 😄 27 is quite a young age to have such a top job with the administration.
She doesn’t get flustered and manages the noisy journalists with great aplomb in my view.

Ms Leavitt is 27 years old, has a baby, took ten days maternity leave and returned to work. Photos of her bottle feeding her baby and typing away…. Is married to a self made millionaire plus is the youngest person to hold the role ….

…and?

Like or dislike her, she has remarkable composure and confidence for her age.

She is 27 years old! Hardly a baby. She has a child of her own, stop infantalising her...she is a grown woman and responsible for her own actions.

But then, when were religious fanatics sensible? It won’t end well for them.

I think Trump is very annoyed by Israel and Iran judging by his outburst. Perhaps both need to keep quiet.

LizzieDrip Sat 28-Jun-25 09:23:22

Perhaps the Iranians have decided not to kiss Trump’s ar** like many world leaders have.

Is ‘putting his back up’ a valid reason for the bombing of another country? Really???

The Iranians should have the sense to keep quiet, all the ridiculous and grandiose claims about Iran are still being touted on SM by the foreign minister there.It’s almost as if they want things to escalate when the truth must be quite different.They don’t’get’ DTrump at all, if they put his back up then he’s likely to tell Isreal to go ahead with future bombing missions.

Oreo Sat 28-Jun-25 09:06:42

Well, it’s true he doesn’t have to work! Given his money and his age, 79.
Whatever anyone thinks of Trump he sure has energy.

And...she is addressing a group of Reporters approved of by Trump, so not a full cohort of established newscasters, and yet she still berates them if they ask 'difficult' questions, and has actually scolded them for questioning a President who has given up a 'life of luxury' to serve the American people.

I haven’t seen any of those qualities in Ms Leavitt in fact quite the opposite Claremont. Any concrete examples? In fact Ms Leavitt always appears very poised and professional in her appearances. An asset to her team!

Wow- this s not about her looks!

appearances not appearance.

A subtle difference!

keepingquiet Fri 27-Jun-25 21:55:56

It's all fake confidence- she tries far too hard- and so isn't confident at all. Most of the time she veers between arrogance and desperation...

She is a nasty, horrible and ridiculous to boot!

Do you know her personally?
Do tell us more!

Exuding confidence - and ?

ronib Fri 27-Jun-25 20:20:22

In her appearances meant when she turned up to talk - that is do her job. Claremont Although to be fair, she does exude confidence.

Leavitt is paid to read the script, I didnt agree with or believe any of it, it’s called propaganda.

keepingquiet Fri 27-Jun-25 13:28:07

She is fascinating to watch but clearly doesn't care about telling the truth and just wants to attack the media. She reminds me of a North Korean newsreader- terrified of going off-script and losing her job!
