President Donald Trump is taking heat for a dismissive, three-word take on the Iran war that appeared to be an attempt to downplay the conflict. Trump called in to host Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News on Monday to talk about the midterm elections and other issues.

“Lightweight Congressman Ted Lieu, one of the least respected in Washington, D.C., made a knowingly malicious, false, and defamatory statement that I wanted to change the name of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to the Trump Reflecting Pool,“ Trump said.

On Hannity, Trump told voters this is merely a “soft war” since there “hasn’t been shooting for months.” (Yesterday’s strikes don’t count.)

The administration has ramped up its efforts in the courts to push claims of voter fraud but has been rejected by judges at all levels.

The president accuses Democrats of weaponising US aid to Israel as a "talking point" with which to attack Republicans.

In a design plan submitted at federal court, the Justice Department shared NPS’ proposal to overhaul its golf course on a peninsula in East Potomac Park near the Jefferson Memorial. The design calls for thinning trees and vegetation to create open vistas comparable to when the park opened a century ago.

The two countries have long been adversaries, and the United States attacked Venezuela this year, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio is starting talks on a legal agreement.

Donald Trump’s critics said the president is threatening them with a good time after the president said Tuesday he’ll move to Israel “if people ever get tired of me in the U.S.” Trump made the tongue-in-cheek remark when he called in to “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning to boost Republicans as polls opened.
