Summary

What a week, and somehow, it’s only getting more chaotic. We’re ending on what’s being called a “ceasefire” with Iran, but signs are already pointing to it unraveling. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, tensions are still sky-high, and the risk of further escalation hasn’t gone anywhere. Back home, Donald Trump is turning his fire inward, launching into a Truth Social tirade against many of his own former supporters. The cracks within his base are getting harder to ignore, and the infighting is getting louder by the day. And then, in a moment that raised more questions than it answered, Melania Trump issued a sudden statement denying any connection to Jeffrey Epstein, a strangely timed move that’s only fueling more speculation.
