As tensions with Iran spiral and global leaders brace for potential escalation, Donald Trump… unveiled a flagpole.
Yes, really.
The US president found time this week to oversee the installation of a massive flagpole on the White House lawn — describing it as “a gift from me” — and then delivered a rambling monologue about its beauty.
🗣 “Best poles anywhere in the world”
Speaking to reporters during the makeshift press conference, Trump gushed over the pole’s craftsmanship.
“It’s such a beautiful pole,” he beamed. “These are the best poles anywhere in the country, or in the world, actually.”
He likened it to the one he had installed at his Doral golf resort in Miami, before trailing off into a bizarre commentary about words he’s “not allowed” to use.
“They also use another word, but I’m not gonna use that word. It starts with an E… If I ever used it, I would be run out of town by you people.”
Yes, Trump managed to turn the word erect into a national security tangent.
💣 War? Maybe. Maybe not.
Asked about Iran and whether he’d launch air strikes, Trump replied in classic Trumpian fashion:
“I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.”
That’ll be reassuring to both allies and enemies alike.
Meanwhile, as the region inches toward possible war, Trump is far more interested in flagpoles — and the chance to hold another headline-hogging media circus.
