Pinky's got Trumpache
So much drama this Trump is doing. My best friend Pinky's mother-in-law's visa expired and Pinky's husband said fine, we'll fast track a new visa for Mummy but no. Now there is chaos and long long queues and poor Aunty is stuck in Delhi summer and can't see her newborn grandson, Pinky's sister-in-law's sweet sa fair baby in San Francisco.
When will this Trump die, Aunty was shouting when I met her, will I not see my grandson till he becomes a teenager or something? Aunty does too much drama like Trump only but it is true. This Trump is stopping everyone doing everything.
Pinky and her husband have visas, till 2030, but her husband is now saying let it be, Mummy will feel bad if we go to America without her. Pinky is so angry but she can't say anything bad about her mother-in-law so she tells her husband we can go to only Manhattan and not to California, we don't have to see the baby. Pinky is smart, and she's right, no one needs to see the baby, bas.
Pinky's husband says you are being selfish to Pinky as if he wants her to be Nirupa Roy or something, you know that mother in a white sari. And then if that isn't enough, Pinky's nephew who studies in Harvard is also in some trouble, some flag he was waving in America, stupid boy, so when Pinky goes crying to her own Mummy about her mother-in-law and husband she says keep quiet Pinky, Deepak bhaiya's son in Harvard loves Gaza or something and now what will happen?
Pinky's cousin sister Meenu is very political, she got excited and said forget about US, think of the state of education in our country, professors being jailed for social media posts. This Meenu talks too much but it was good only, everyone stopped saying mean things to Pinky and got angry with Meenu instead. What is this Meenu even saying?
We give visas and say come come see the Taj Mahal to foreigners. The Mughals were killing the Hindus and all that, but we are forgiving, peace-loving, and we say it's fine only, Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal, so good. Our country is not bad like America, she should go and stay there if she doesn't like India but hai ram how will she get a visa?

From Israel-Iran ceasefire to US strikes: How Trump has turned his Truth Social into megaphone
If anyone missed out on the developments in the war between Israel and Iran, they can turn to Donald Trump's Truth Social to learn about the big developments. From announcing American bombing of Iranian nuclear sites to a ceasefire between the West Asian rivals, the US president has been regularly dishing out details on his social media platform read more US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran on his Truth Social account. Picture illustration/Reuters United States President Donald Trump has announced that a 'ceasefire' between Israel and Iran is 'now in effect'. In a post on Truth Social, his social media website, on Tuesday (July 24), he urged both sides: 'PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!' Hours ago, the US president declared the ceasefire, saying it would begin at 12:00 am Eastern Time (9.30 am IST) for Iran, and 12 hours later for Israel. Following Trump's post, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that his government accepted a ceasefire with Iran. Iranian state media also reported that a ceasefire had been 'imposed on the enemy', without mentioning a precise time. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD If you are someone who does not regularly follow the news, browsing through Trump's Truth Social account will give you some idea of what has been going on in the war between Iran and Israel. The US president has employed his social media platform to provide real-time updates and make claims even before the parties involved get a chance to notify the world of the changed developments. Let's take a closer look. Trump's Truth on US intervention in Iran Donald Trump informed the world about the US attacks on Iran's three key nuclear sites last week in real time. 'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,' the US president wrote on his social media platform on early Sunday (June 22). 'All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,' he further added. Shortly after, Trump posted, 'Fordow is gone.' The US president later addressed the nation regarding what he called 'our very successful military operation in Iran.' He said it was a 'historic' moment for the US, Israel, and the world, adding that 'IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR.' Trump also threatened that 'any retaliation' by Iran against the US will be countered with a far 'greater' force than the American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which he described as 'monumental'. Calling for regime change in Iran Trump also took to his Truth Social account to spark a discussion on regime change in Iran. He posted, 'It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,'' he wrote, 'but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump demands oil prices control The US president has no qualms about issuing warnings or threats via his social media platform. After the American bombing of Iranian nuclear sites, he called on 'everyone' to keep oil prices down. He wrote on Monday, 'I'M WATCHING! YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON'T DO IT!' In a separate post, he demanded that the Department of Energy 'DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!' Trump declares Israel-Iran ceasefire Iran retaliated against the US attacks on its nuclear sites by launching strikes on an American airbase in Qatar on Monday night. The Al Udeid Airbase was evacuated days earlier and there were no reports of injuries or deaths, with Iranian missiles being successfully intercepted. On his Truth Social account, the US president responded to Iran's retaliatory attack, calling it a 'very weak response', which he said was 'expected'. Trump also celebrated that there were no casualties in Tehran's strike on the US airbase. 'Most importantly, they've gotten it all out of their 'system,' and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. He went on to thank Iran for giving the US 'early notice' of its missile attack , 'which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump later wrote in a separate post in all caps: 'CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT'S TIME FOR PEACE!' Just after 3.30 am IST on Tuesday, Trump announced that Iran and Israel had agreed to a 'Complete and Total CEASEFIRE.' 'On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR,'' the US president wrote. Before the ceasefire came into effect, both rivals carried out strikes against each other . Israel said Iran's airstrikes killed at least four people and injured 22 in the southern city of Beersheba. Israel's overnight strikes on residential buildings in northwest Iran killed nine people and wounded 33, Iranian state media reported, citing a regional official. The governor's office in Gilan termed it a 'terrorist' attack on the city of Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh. As per an Iranian government official, 16 of those killed or injured are women and children. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Mohammad Reza Seddiqi, a nuclear scientist, is believed to be among the dead, BBC reported, citing media outlets. Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had said Tehran would consider halting its military response if Israel stopped its strikes on Iran by 4 am local time (6 am IST) in Tehran. 'Together with all Iranians, I thank our brave Armed Forces who remain ready to defend our dear country until their last drop of blood, and who responded to any attack by the enemy until the very last minute.' In his Truth Social post on early Tuesday, Trump claimed that both Iran and Israel approached him 'almost simultaneously, and said, 'PEACE!' I knew the time was NOW. The World, and the Middle East, are the real WINNERS!' Around 10.43 am IST, the US president announced on his social media platform that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel 'is now in effect', urging the rivals not to violate it. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Why Trump's Truth Social is his megaphone Since returning to the White House in January, US President Trump has used his Truth Social account to give official updates. Anyone can go to his social media platform to know his views on an array of issues. From announcing India-Pakistan ceasefire to attacking Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Republican leader has turned his social media into his megaphone. Notably, Trump is the majority shareholder in Trump Media & Technology Group, the company that owns Truth Social. The social media platform was launched in 2022 after the Republican was banned from Twitter, now X, Facebook and YouTube the previous year. The US president will directly benefit if his posts drive traffic to Truth Social, as Trump owns 53 per cent of Trump Media's shares. In December, he put his shares in a trust solely controlled by Donald Trump Jr, his oldest son, who is a company board member. As Trump Media plans to expand into financial services, there are concerns of conflicts of interest. Speaking to New York Times (NYT) in February, Harrison Fields, a White House spokesman, said responding to Trump's possible conflicts of interest that 'President Trump is committed to using every direct line of communication to the American people. Alongside his consistent interactions with the press corps, this cements his legacy as the most transparent president in history.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD John Pelissero, a government ethics expert at Santa Clara University, however, advised against it. 'He should, as other presidents have done in the past, use just official White House communications when he's talking about the government and not the company he owns," the expert told the American newspaper.

US enters Iran-Israel battle, hits nuclear facilities; Tehran retaliates; ceasefire brokered: 48-hour timeline
In the last two days, the Middle East saw a sudden and dangerous spike in conflict. What started as tension between Israel and Iran turned into a major crisis when US President Donald Trump stepped in. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now US strikes Iran The US carried out major airstrikes on three of Iran's most important nuclear sites -- Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan -- marking a major escalation in the region. The attack involved some of the most advanced weaponry in the American arsenal. B-2 Spirit bombers, commonly known as the Stealth, were used, six of them, to carry and drop massive "bunker buster" bombs on the underground Fordow nuclear site near Qom. Operation Midnight Hammer These bombs, officially called GBU-57s, are the most powerful bunker busters the US possesses. The same munitions were also used on the Natanz facility located in Isfahan province. In addition to the airstrikes, the US Navy launched 30 Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles at Natanz and Isfahan. These long-range cruise missiles were fired from both ships and submarines, increasing the scale and reach of the assault. The operation was named "Operation Midnight Hammer" by the United States, meant to send a clear message against the nuclear ambitions of Iran's Khamenei-led regime. 'Savage assault' Iran reacted strongly, calling the attacks a "savage assault" and vowing that it would "never" stop its nuclear program. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards responded in loaded-words, saying that they would not be moved by threats from Trump or "criminal gangs ruling the White House and Tel Aviv." 'US will change history': Netanyahu Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, praised the operation. In a public video message, he said, "Congratulations President Trump. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history." The conflict did not stop there. Missiles continued to be exchanged between Iran and Israel, keeping the region on edge. Iran's response to US Then, Iran turned its attention to the United States. Late Monday, Iran launched a retaliatory strike on the US airbase at Al Udeid in Qatar, the largest American military base in the Middle East. Loud explosions were heard across Doha and Lusail, and missiles were seen streaking across the sky. In response, Qatar shut down its airspace as a precautionary measure. And just when a broader war seemed imminent, President Trump took to his social media platform to make a surprise announcement of peace. Ceasefire brokered by Trump "Israel & Iran came to me, almost simultaneously, and said, 'PEACE!' I knew the time was NOW. The World, and the Middle East, are the real WINNERS!" Trump posted. He added, "Both Nations will see tremendous LOVE, PEACE, AND PROSPERITY in their futures. They have so much to gain, and yet, so much to lose if they stray from the road of RIGHTEOUSNESS & TRUTH. The future for Israel & Iran is UNLIMITED, & filled with great PROMISE."
