1. Reiterate that all three Iranian nuclear facilities have been completely destroyed - US President Trump posted that Iran's three nuclear facilities have been "completely destroyed." It will take several years to bring these facilities back into operation; if Iran intends to rebuild, it is more advantageous for them to start anew at three new locations rather than repairing the destroyed old sites. 2. Request to release Epstein case testimony reiterated - US President Trump stated: I have requested the Department of Justice to disclose all the testimonies related to Jeffrey Epstein from the grand jury, but it must obtain court approval. That said, even if the court gives full and firm approval, it will never be enough for the troublemakers and radical left-wing lunatics who made this request, they will demand more. 3. Found it difficult to cut ties with SpaceX - According to the Wall Street Journal, sources said that just days after Trump proposed the possibility of cutting ties with Musk's company back in early June, the government began reviewing SpaceX's contracts with the federal government. However, officials believe that most contracts cannot be canceled because they are crucial for the Department of Defense and NASA. 4. Calls for cancellation of August congressional recess - On July 19th local time, US President Trump stated on his social media that he hopes Senate Majority Leader John Thune can cancel the August recess and the long weekend. 5. Treasury Secretary advises against firing Powell - According to the Wall Street Journal, sources said that US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin privately advised Trump in recent days not to try to dismiss Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. The main reasons focus on the potential impact on the economy and markets, the prospect of a rate cut by the Fed later this year, and the political and legal obstacles that this action may face. 6. Accuses Obama of "fabricating materials" - According to the International Wire Service, US intelligence agencies found in their investigation that former President Obama and his government officials tried to discredit the election results after Trump was elected president in 2016 by fabricating information. Trump later posted: "An expert group brilliantly demonstrated to sue Obama and those 'thugs' just exposed in the highest-level elections."
