In the five days prior to launching a strike that killed Soleimani, Trump roamed the halls of Mar-a-Lago, dropping hints to pals and club-goers [!!] that something huge was coming, a “big” response to Iran –– but not a word to key lawmakers and US allies.thedailybeast.com/trump-told-mar…
“Trump’s gossipy whispers regarding a ‘big’ response in Iraq foreshadowed what was to come ... Mar-a-Lago guests received more warning about Thursday’s attack than Senate staff did.”

So yeah, Trump's idiot spawn, Eric, knew in advance.

Defense stocks jump after Iranian general Soleimani was killed in a US airstrike ordered by Trump, who gossiped to his Mar-a-Lago pals about “big Iran action soon” in the days before the airstrike.

A little insider trading to keep his fat cat donors happy.latimes.com/business/story…
Over the past several days, Trump told friends at Mar-a-Lago he was working on a “big” response to the Iranian regime and he’d been in close contact with his top national-security and military advisers about aggressive action that could quickly materialize.

Which cool heads? Trump's? Pompeo's? The same people who supported Trump's asinine decision to order the killing of Soleimani in the first place? There are no cool heads in the White House. No adults in the room.

Thanks for all your tireless reporting, @RichardEngel.
@RichardEngel Iran is saying they will stop if the US doesn't retaliate but nut jobs like Hannity, Lindsey Graham, and Liz Cheney [of course] are goading Trump into retaliating and Trump fears he'll look weak if doesn't.

JUST IN via @LizSly: The US military confirms an ongoing rocket attack on Al-Asad airbase in Iraq where US troops are based. It’s the airbase Trump said Iraq would have to pay for if US troops were expelled.
@LizSly BREAKING via @JenGriffinFNC: Senior US military source in Iraq: “Under missile attack from Iran. These are either cruise missiles or short range ballistic missiles. All over the country.”

“... a highly unusual move against a foreign ally America spent almost 2 decades and hundreds of billions of dollars supporting.”

“You don’t typically use force against your allies. We're threatening to use extreme coercive policy tools against countries with whom we're allied.”

In the 5 days prior to launching a strike that killed Iran’s most important military leader, Trump roamed the halls of Mar-a-Lago and started dropping hints to close associates and club-goers that something huge was coming thedailybeast.com/trump-told-mar…
Those Mar-a-Lago guests received more warning about Thursday’s attack than Senate staff did, and about as much clarity.
A classified briefing on Friday, the first the administration gave to the Hill, featured broad claims about what the Iranians were planning and little evidence of planning to bring about the “de-escalation” the administration says it wants.

#CindyYang started what would become a large chain of Tokyo Day Spas, 2007.

Cindy Yang & her family members operate the Tokyo Day Spa & Massages parlor, as well as a nail salon, at a strip mall in Palm Beach Gardens which is still in business & run by her husband, #ZubinGong.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
