WASHINGTON " President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Iran wrongly assumed he would retreat from his demands during negotiations to avoid a long standoff ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Speaking at a Cabinet meeting on May 27, Trump said the Iranian regime "thought they were going to outwait me" regarding a peace deal.

"'We'll outwait him. He's got the midterms,'" Trump said. "I don't care about the midterms. Look what happened last night. That was the prelude to the midterms."

Cornyn, 74, and Paxton, 63, made it to Tuesday's runoff after each failed to garner a majority of votes in the state's March primary.

The Trump administration will never admit this, but the biggest reason that Trump is a fan of AI is because of how easily AI can conjure up images that make Donald Trump look great.

The image you're looking at now of Trump as Superman was posted by him last summer, but it's been just one of many, many AI images in which Trump looks better than anyone else.

Just a few weeks back, we had of course Donald Trump as Jesus, excuse me, I mean Donald Trump as a doctor healing a patient while people around him pray and there is a strange creature in the background at the top.

But again, it makes Donald Trump look better than others.

It turns out that getting bright, natural light early in the day can help reset your internal clock (called your circadian rhythm) which plays an important role in how well you sleep and how you feel during the day.
