David Hogg, the far-left activist and newly minted DNC co-chair, isn’t enjoying the party—or at least, not the leadership party. According to Hogg, he’s being unceremoniously pushed out of Democratic Party leadership just weeks after arriving, and he’s making it clear he doesn’t think it’s fair. He’s claiming political sabotage, a left-on-left takedown, and frankly, it’s getting messy.
Meanwhile, halfway around the globe, Number Three on the hot sheet: President Trump has launched into a whirlwind Middle East tour, wasting no time in setting the tone with blunt diplomacy and sharp rhetoric.
The trip kicked off Tuesday morning in Saudi Arabia with a searing critique of foreign adventurism in the region. Trump condemned those who sought to reshape the Middle East through war and intervention, declaring an end to that era.
Yet, the President wasn’t just there to reflect on the past—he zeroed in on the present threat: Iran. Trump made it abundantly clear that Tehran’s current trajectory is unacceptable and that the U.S. is prepared to hold the regime accountable.
And then, the Trump twist. Just as the rhetoric peaked, he offered Iran an unexpected out—an olive branch. He floated the possibility of a new relationship, even a future friendship, if Iran chooses a different path.
Expanding the circle of engagement, Trump committed to working with every nation in the Middle East—yes, including Lebanon and the devastated battleground of Syria. The message: America is back in the region, but in a very different way.
And in a surprising flourish of statesmanship, the President capped off his remarks with a hopeful message—one of peace, reconciliation, and forward vision. In a moment that felt straight out of Nobel aspirations, Trump tied a diplomatic bow around it all.
