Trump's "We got him" victory lap reads like a teaser promo for this week's episode of "Apprentice: War Monger." [View all]

His full "Truth Social" post reeks of equal portions of Miller and Cheung. And while it is absolutely a cause for celebration to have the pilot safe and sound, what happened to him is the direct result of Trump's bogus war. He posted his "WE GOT HIM!" victory lap and I was sitting here thinking "You know what would represent a REAL "victory?" Those 160 Iranian school kids showing up for class tomorrow morning. So hopefully I can be excused for not playing Lee Greeenwood's "God Bless The USA" while a tear rolls down my cheek and I say "THANK you, SIR..."

The second crew member of an F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet that crashed in Iran has been rescued by U.S. forces, President Donald Trump said early Sunday in a social media post.

In the Truth Social post, the president described an intense search and rescue operation that led to the crew member being found safe.

"This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone," Trump said.
