Rather, he remained at his luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach Florida, to playact as Commander-in-Chief. We can also see that he is in a room with curtains for walls, with all of the electronic devices exposed. This is a serious breach of security protocols.<\/p>\n<p>This meeting ought to have taken place in the White House Situation room, or at least some other Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) that is designed to prevent unauthorized access, eavesdropping, and electronic surveillance. But those are inconveniences that Trump can&#8217;t be bothered with when he&#8217;s trying to pump up <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68847\" target=\"_blank\">his grossly faltering public image<\/a><\/strong>. Never mind the potential for leaking confidential plans and analyses.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump is bragging about his success in terminating the Ayatollah Khamenei, But that is a double-edged sword. Yes, Khamenei was a brutal tyrant and a sponsor of terrorism that the world is well rid of. But the assassination of foreign leaders is a violation of international law and specifically prohibited under the United Nations Charter. So Trump has not only broken the law (again), he is setting a precedent for offing heads of state that he may come to personally regret.<\/p>\n<p>Further fluffing his supposed achievements, Trump is now saying that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2028179727148859469\" target=\"_blank\">Iranian leaders <em>&#8220;want to talk.&#8221;<\/em><\/a><\/strong> But Iran&#8217;s Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, the man expected to replace Khamenei, is vowing retribution against the <em>&#8220;shameless Americans.&#8221;<\/em> Which doesn&#8217;t sound much like talking.<\/p>\n<p>For some perspective on Trump&#8217;s views regarding starting a war with Iran, see this clip from Saturday Night Live where Colin Jost catches the extreme hypocrisy of Trump in his own own words&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mfyq2jvnv22g\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreicj465keerma32sgp6bw5rp3xl5342ckf73qcfr72f2pltjkrqkxm\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Saturday Night Live catches the extreme hypocrisy of Trump&#39;s positions on Iran.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg?ref_src=embed\">News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/post\/3mfyq2jvnv22g?ref_src=embed\">2026-03-01T12:21:03.453Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68926\" target=\"_blank\">SO MUCH WINNING?
