Trump on Saturday submitted a required notice to Congress defending his decision to authorize a deadly attack on a top Iranian general.

The end-of-the-year holidays passed Wednesday without a new nuclear test in North Korea, but with the threat of one from Kim Jong Un.

Trump’s increased popularity allowed him “to tie Barack Obama as the most admired man, but not to end Obama’s streak of 12 first-place finishes.”

Trump’s statement comes after North Korea signaled it would no longer consider denuclearization and after officials lobbed insults at the president.

Trump spoke out shortly before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., planned to announce the next steps in the impeachment inquiry.

Once a frequent guest on the network, Fox News has now taken a string of hits from Trump. The president lamented “the good old days” on Thursday.

Trump and aides plan to tell Pelosi that they will not cooperate with the inquiry until the full House votes to authorize it, officials said Friday.

A new book says Donald Trump once suggested radical and even violent ways to stop illegal crossings – including the snake-and-alligator-filled moat.

Trump kept tweeting Monday morning, saying he is being subjected to a “witch hunt” and claiming that “the Fake Whistleblower complaint is not holding up.”
