NOW: Trump is holding a news conference at NATO summit
From CNN's Sophie Tanno and Maureen Chowdhury
US President Donald Trump has begun his news conference at the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
Trump touted the success of the US strikes on Irans nuclear facilities during the opening of his remarks.
As you know, last weekend the United States successfully carried out a massive precision strike on Irans nuclear enrichment facilities and it was very, very successful. It was called obliteration. No other military on earth could have done it, and now this incredible exercise of American strength has paved the way for peace with a historic ceasefire agreement, Trump said.

2). I don't think the world is holding its breath waiting for us to explain how 77 million Americans thought re-electing him was the smart choice
I'd say that "Trumpism" isn't some mystical, unfathomable force.
I think we know exactly how and why Trump awoke multiple sleeper cells of morons across the USA for his amusement, his need to exploit them, and to wring them dry of their cash as they buy his "merch."
I'd say the conclusion the world has drawn, and accurately so, is that we have at least 77 million ignorant people in America, and it "just is."
When we see a duck walk by, we don't question its webbed feet or the fact that it's quacking.
The world knows.

Would be funny if it weren't so serious.
