President Trump accused the leftwing media of pushing Iranian disinformation, which he said could be “criminal,” while speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Sunday evening.  

The President contemporaneously called for treason charges in a Truth Social post.

Over the weekend, Trump said that he turned down a deal with Iran to end the war, saying, “The terms are not good enough yet.”

However, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told CBS on Sunday, “We never asked for a cease-fire, and we have never asked even for negotiation. We are ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes.” He continued, “And this is what we have done so far, and we continue to do that until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war with no victory. And, you know, there are, you know, people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun.”

The Hill’s Julia Manchester asked the President about Iran’s claims, and Trump went off on Iran for pushing disinformation and using AI-generated propaganda.

Iran has resorted to using AI-generated photos and videos to propagate narratives of mass support for the regime and show fake military strikes, including one on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

On Saturday, Trump slammed the Wall Street Journal for reporting, “Five Air Force refueling planes hit in Iranian strike on Saudi Arabia,” which he called “an intentionally misleading headline.”

“In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not ‘struck’ or ‘destroyed.’ Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines,” Trump said. “The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife ‘Papers’ and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media!”

Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump made similar comments to reporters on Air Force One, adding, “Iran is known for a lot of fake news, and they deal with our fake news, and I actually think it’s pretty criminal because our media companies, who have no credibility whatsoever, are putting out information that they know is false, and it’s a very dangerous thing for the country.”

He continued, “I think they could be in serious jeopardy, frankly.”

WATCH:

Manchester: You mentioned that Iran wants to make a deal. However, earlier today, we heard their foreign minister say, they never said they wanted to make a deal, and that they’ll do whatever they can to defend—

Trump: What they tell you and what they tell the public— you know, I just put out a truth about their disinformation. I assume most of you saw it. They used AI. They said they attacked the USS Abraham Lincoln, one of the largest ships in the world, an aircraft carrier, and they show pictures of it burning. It was never attacked. It was never burning.

The Wall Street Journal put out a false story that five of our big, beautiful tankers that we feed the planes with to give the planes the gas, jet fuel, hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline, that they were all essentially destroyed. They weren’t destroyed at all. In fact, four of them weren’t, not even, I mean, literally, were not damaged. And one of them has slight damage. It’ll be back in the air soon. But if you read the Wall Street Journal, it’s like they were totally decimated and destroyed, like Iran has been.

So, they put out phony story— the kamikaze boats. The kamikaze boats don’t exist. They’re fake. And you can almost see that when you look at them; it looks fake, yeah, because if they did exist, we’d hit them just like we hit other boats all over the place. But they don’t exist. In fact, some of the people say, “Where are the boats?” How come nobody’s seen the boats? You know why? Because it’s aI generated. It’s fake.

And I found, I didn’t realize this before we started, but Iran is known for a lot of fake news, and they deal with our fake news, and I actually think it’s pretty criminal because our media companies, who have no credibility whatsoever, are putting out information that they know is false, and it’s a very dangerous thing for the country. I think it’s— I think they could be in serious jeopardy, frankly.

Moments before speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump fired off a statement, calling for the media to be “brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information” on Truth Social.

“I am so thrilled to see Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), looking at the licenses of some of these Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic ‘News’ Organizations,” Trump added. “They get Billions of Dollars of FREE American Airwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in News and almost all of their Shows, including the Late Night Morons, who get gigantic Salaries for horrible Ratings, and never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, ‘FIRED.’”

Iran has long been known as a Master of Media Manipulation and Public Relations. They are Militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at “feeding” the very appreciative Fake News Media false information. Now, A.I. has become another Disinformation weapon that Iran uses, quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day. They showed phony “Kamikaze Boats,” shooting at various Ships at Sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and vicious, but these Boats don’t exist — It’s all false information to show how “tough” their already defeated Military is! The five U.S. Refueling Planes that were supposedly struck down and badly damaged, according to The Wall Street Journal’s false reporting, and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon be flying the skies. Buildings and Ships that are shown to be on fire are not — It’s FAKE NEWS, generated by A.I. For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the Fake News Media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious Ships in the World, burning uncontrollably in the Ocean. Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at — Iran knows better than to do that! The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information! The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they “win” are those that they create through AI, and are distributed by Corrupt Media Outlets. The Radical Leftwing Press knows this full well, but continues to go forward with false stories and LIES. That’s why their Approval Rating is so low, and I can win a Presidential Election, IN A LANDSLIDE, getting only 5% positive Press — They have no credibility! I am so thrilled to see Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), looking at the licenses of some of these Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic “News” Organizations. They get Billions of Dollars of FREE American Airwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in News and almost all of their Shows, including the Late Night Morons, who get gigantic Salaries for horrible Ratings, and never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, “FIRED.” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

While speaking to reporters about the war in Iran on Air Force One on Sunday evening, President Trump repeatedly slammed ABC News, calling it “one of the worst, most fake, most corrupt” outlets, and attacked other outlets for their “fake stories.” 

Trump went off on Khan after she asked whether it was appropriate for a fundraising PAC to use White House photos of Trump at the dignified transfer of a troop killed in an Iranian drone strike this month.

“You know what, ABC News? I think it’s maybe the most corrupt news organization on the planet. I think they’re terrible. I don’t want any more from ABC,” Trump told ABC correspondent Miriam Khan before turning to The Gateway Pundit and saying, “You’re much better.”

Minutes later, Trump shushed her and said, “You’re a very obnoxious person!”

WATCH:

While speaking to The Gateway Pundit, Trump said that Israel is working with the United States to secure the Strait of Hormuz as the President continues calling for countries to send warships to the Strait and ensure the safe passage of oil. Earlier in the conversation with reporters, Trump demanded assistance from NATO allies and China, noting that if they refuse to help, “We will remember.”

Asked about Israel’s cooperation in the Strait, Trump said, “They’re working with us,” and that his relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is “extraordinary” despite reports suggesting a rift.

Trump further responded to our question about the lack of progress with the people of Iran overthrowing their government, which Trump previously encouraged, by telling Iranians after the initial February 28 strikes, “seize this moment, to be brave, be bold, be heroic, and take back your country.”

Trump attributed the slow progress to the “violent and vicious,” noting that they’ve likely killed more than 32,000 protesters in recent weeks. “One other thing,” he said, “they showed about 250,000 people in a square saying how much they love Khamenei, totally AI-generated.”

Iran has resorted to using AI-generated photos and videos to propagate narratives of mass support for the regime and show fake military strikes, including one on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Via Fox:

“It was a totally AI-generated fake news story, put out by news organizations in the US and elsewhere. And honestly, they really shouldn’t be allowed to do it,” Trump said, slamming ABC again as “fake news,” adding, “your network is the worst.”

He then took additional questions about the war and highlighted the “fake stories written by you people” about the “AI-generated” rally. “Anybody that knew the country knew there’s not 250,000 people willing to stand in a circle and say how great Khamenei is,” Trumo said.

WATCH:

TRANSCRIPT:

Khan: Your PAC put out a fundraising email a couple of days ago and it’s being criticized for using official White House photos of you at the dignified transfer, and the PAC is also promising access to secret briefings.

Trump: Well, I was at the dignified transfer, unlike a lot of other people.

Khan: Do you think it’s an appropriate email to send? Your critics are saying that you’re fundraising off of it.

Trump: I do. I didn’t see it. I mean, somebody puts it out. We have a lot of people working for us, but there’s nobody that’s better to the military than me, and all you have to do is look at the election, look at the election results, look at the kind of votes that we get, look at the poll numbers. There’s nobody that’s ever been higher as a president than me with the military. Who are you with?

Khan: ABC News.

Trump: One of the worst, most fake, most corrupt. You know what, ABC News? I think it’s maybe the most corrupt news organization on the planet. I think they’re terrible. I don’t want any more from ABC.

You’re much better.

Conradson: Thank you, sir. What’s Israel doing to help secure the Strait of Hormuz?

Trump: They’re working with us. The relationship with Israel— that was other fake news. They were saying, oh, did I have an argument with Bibi? No, we really get along well. And he would tell you, we’re leading the whole thing. And I don’t— he can say it or not say it. It doesn’t matter. The main thing is to get it done. But my relationship with Bibi Netanyahu is, I would say, extraordinary, actually.

Conradson: You called for the people of Iran to rise up, overthrow the government. What’s going on there? They haven’t done that. Do you expect them to?

Trump: You’re dealing with thugs, you’re dealing with horrible people, you’re dealing with people that are violent and vicious, and that’s the leadership and the people right under them, their military or their police. And they’ve notified everybody, and they put out statements that if you protest, you’re going to be shot and killed. The protesters have no guns, and I know you’re a brave person, but I don’t think you’d be protesting, and so, I think it’s very hard for them to protest. I fully understand it. They said, If you protest, you will be killed. A week ago, and two weeks ago, they killed 32,000 protesters at least. We think the number is much higher than that.

They shot and killed 32,000 protesters, who were greatly enthusiastic and want to see a change because they’ve destroyed the country. The people that are running it destroyed the country. But think of it, they shot and killed much more than 32,000 people. Now, they put out a notice two days ago that we’re going to kill, to shoot and kill any protester, and they don’t have guns, meaning the protesters. They have no guns. So, I can fully understand why they’re not doing it.

Oh, one other thing that was AI-generated. They showed about 250,000 people in a square saying how much they love Khamenei, totally AI-generated. It never took place. The media knew it didn’t take place, but they built it up like they have great support. They don’t have support. And that whole rally that they had three days ago, four days ago, that they said was fake, it was aI generated. AI can be very dangerous. We have to be very careful with it. But the rally, because I was actually surprised to see, because I know how much they’re— the people hate this leadership. This leadership has destroyed the country. The rally that everybody, including ABC fake news, your network is the worst, but everybody put that rally on, like, oh, and even I was surprised. I looked, it turned out, I found out today, it was a totally AI-generated fake news story, put out by news organizations in the US and elsewhere. And honestly, they really shouldn’t be allowed to do it.

Mason: Were there any diplomatic talks going on between the US and Iran at all right now?

Trump: We’re talking to them, but I don’t think they’re ready, but they’re getting pretty close. I don’t know that I want to make a deal because, you know what? First of all, nobody even knows who you’re dealing with, because most of their leadership has been killed as you know. So I don’t even know that we want to make a deal. They want to make a deal badly. Yes.

Manchester: You mentioned that Iran’s military has been decimated economically and other ways. Are you ready to officially declare victory?

Trump: No, I don’t want to do that. There’s no reason to. I think I just say they’re decimated, but I think that we’ve done damage to them right now. If we left right now, it would take them 10 years and more to rebuild. But I’m still not declaring it over. Our military is incredible. The job they’ve done is just incredible.

And the problem is, the problem is that when you look at fake stories written by you people, written by and generated by AI, it’s incredible. And I just wonder, like Jeff, you know that these are fake stories? Did you know that the rally of 250,000 people, the supposed rally was fake? Did you know that?

Mason: I saw the reporting on it.

Trump: You wrote about it, you talked about it, and you knew it was fake. It was AI-generated.

Mason: No, I didn’t know it was fake.

Trump: You knew it. You knew it. Anybody that knew the country knew there’s not 250,000 people willing to stand in a circle and say how great Khamenei is, okay?

The daughter of a former top U.S. intelligence official will be spending multiple decades behind bars.

According to the Associated Press, Sophia Negroponte, 33, was sentenced Friday to 35 years in prison by Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Terrence McGann.

Negroponte was accused of stabbing a friend to death following a drunken dispute at a Maryland Airbnb six years ago, per Fox News.

LEARNING HER FATE: Sophia Negroponte, adopted daughter of former George W. Bush intelligence director John Negroponte, sentenced to 35 years for fatally stabbing friend Yousuf Rasmussen during drunken argument at Maryland Airbnb in 2020. https://t.co/RUGmIeeawc

— Fox News US (@FoxUSNews) March 7, 2026

The friend and victim was identified as 24-year-old Yousuf Rasmussen.

Fox News noted that after the initial dispute, Rasmussen left the home that he, Negroponte, and a third person were drinking at.

However, when he came back to grab his phone, Negroponte attacked him, stabbing him multiple times, including “a death blow that severed his jugular,” as described by Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy.

According to charging documents obtained by Fox News, a 911 call triggered first responders to arrive at the Airbnb on Feb. 13, 2020.

The then 27-year-old Negroponte was found inside the home, covered in blood and on top of Rasmussen, while screaming “I’m sorry.”

Negroponte had been facing a charge of second-degree murder for the horrific incident.

She was found guilty of that charge — and handed an original 35-year prison sentence — after the initial trial in 2023.

The first conviction, however, was overturned in 2024 after an appeals court ruled that the jury had been allowed to hear contested audio evidence.

“The 35-year sentence mirrors the sentence imposed following the first trial in 2023,” McCarthy said.

He added, “This is an appropriate and just outcome in light of the seriousness of this crime and the consistent findings of two separate juries who carefully evaluated the evidence.”

Sophia is an adopted child of John Negroponte, who became the first director of national intelligence for the country in 2005 after being appointed by former President George W. Bush.

John Negroponte would also go on to serve as deputy secretary of state, and work as ambassador to Mexico, the Philippines, the United Nations, and Iraq.

Sophia was one of five abandoned or orphaned Honduran children adopted by John and his wife after he became ambassador to Honduras in the 1980s.

According to Campus Reform, “Socialist and pro-Palestine student groups rallied Monday at Arizona State University to protest U.S. military action involving Iran, drawing pushback from Iranian students who said the activists misrepresented the views and experiences of the country’s people.”

This anti American protest was lead by ASU Students for Justice in Palestine, United Campus Workers Arizona, and the Phoenix chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

The framing of the protest was misleading saying in their joint statement the protest as an opposition to “corporate greed” and “endless war,”.

They added that “students have always been at the forefront of past anti-war movements.”

The groups were accused of deleting comments from members in support of The US operation.

Eventually the groups disabled the commenting opportunities.

“The ASU Iranian Students Association organized a counter-protest following the campus demonstration, writing in a March 2 Instagram post that the “Iranian people have been in conflict with their own government for over 47 years, suffering repression, crackdowns, and human rights abuses.”

“The organization stated that its members would “make clear that the Iranian people stand with the United States and for human rights, accountability, and peace.”

”For over four decades, the Iranian people have lived under a dictatorship, facing a lack of basic freedoms and violent crackdowns for speaking out against their government.”

She also said “Most of our members strongly support greater international pressure and accountability toward the Iranian regime, which has brutally oppressed its own people and contributed to violence affecting Americans as well,” Azimi of The ASU Iranian Students Association continued.

Its unclear if there were any rule violations by collaberating with organizations such as Phoenix Party for Socialism and Liberation.

The ASU Media Affairs division cited the University’s free speech policies in defending this rally.

While many people may disagree to going to war with Iran and many would support the efforts of The Trump administration against The Iranian regime, supporting the Iranian regime against America is a uniquely leftist take.

The Socialist groups are using deceptive language to promote pro Iranian regime propaganda.

In outrageous yet not shocking news according to Campus Reform“, Employee donations to federal candidates and campaign committees in the 2026 midterm cycle confirm the overwhelmingly liberal makeup of Duke University.”

According to The FEC or Federal Election Commission an absurd $1,620,859.80 (97.46%) went to Democratic-aligned candidates.

“42,259.08 (2.54%) went to Republican-aligned candidates and committees.”

“The dollar gap between the two totals stands at $1,578,600.72, meaning that Duke-affiliated donors gave roughly 38 times more money to Democratic candidates and committees than to Republican ones.”

The largest donor was Cynthia Kuhn who is Duke affiliated.

Among the other Democrat donors were a number of professors.

This proves the inherent bias at Duke.

“The largest share of Duke-affiliated employee donations flowed to Democratic committees and progressive PACs. The top recipient was ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s primary online fundraising platform, which received roughly $675,000 in contributions.”

Among those leftists receiving donations from Duke employees were “Ro Khanna for Congress and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), each receiving about $100,000.”

In addition “the top recipients include the Democratic Party’s principal online fundraising platform, its national governing body, congressional campaign committees, and multiple campaigns and advocacy groups aligned with progressive causes.”

Clearly Duke is not interested in providing a well rounded education but rather enforce liberal bias.

While this is hardly shocking that the professors lean left the fact that they are supporting leftist politicians and organizations is outrageous.

This should offend anyone paying for a real education.

“Donation data comes from the 2026 Federal Election Commission filings, analyzed by Campus Reform, which tracked self-reported political giving from university employees at institutions that receive federal funding. Donors were matched to the Department of Education’s official database of colleges and universities, and faculty and staff donations were analyzed separately from student contributions.”

Clearly despite efforts to end indoctrination at college the problem of liberal bias and enforcing a liberal left agenda persists.
