U.S. President Donald Trump traveled this Saturday to Palm Beach County, in the southern state of Florida, to vote early in the midterm elections on November 3, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump. Before boarding the plane bound for the state of Georgia to support the candidacies of Republican Representatives Mike Collins and Rick Jackson, Trump spoke to the press after voting early, a practice he himself had criticized in recent weeks. There, he criticized the Democratic Party's "corruption" and outlined his plans for the wars in Iran and Ukraine. When asked by reporters whether he was weighing the possibility of a new attack against Tehran, the White House occupant responded ironically, addressing the journalist directly: "Do you really think I would tell you?" Trump did not rule out such a possibility, just as he has not taken a possible deal off the table. "They want to make a deal, but the question is, will they keep it?" he noted. As for Ukraine, the U.S. president thanked his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, for her work; she has in recent hours successfully mediated a ceasefire in the Ukrainian region of Oleshki to facilitate an evacuation. "I think right now she's doing better than the professionals," he asserted. With that, Trump once again expressed his desire to comp…
US President Donald Trump traveled this Saturday to Palm Beach County, in the southern state of Florida, to vote early in the midterm elections on November 3, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump. Before boarding a plane to the state of Georgia to support the candidacies of Republican Representatives Mike Collins and Rick Jackson, Trump spoke to the press after voting early, a practice he himself had criticized in recent weeks. There, he criticized the Democratic Party's "corruption" and outlined his plans for the war in Iran and Ukraine. When asked by journalists whether he is weighing the possibility of a new attack against Tehran, the White House occupant responded ironically, addressing the journalist directly: "Do you really think I would tell you?" Trump did not rule out that possibility, just as he has not taken a possible deal off the table. "They want to make a deal, but the problem is, will they keep it?" he noted. As for Ukraine, the US president thanked his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, for her work; she has in recent hours successfully mediated a ceasefire in the Ukrainian region of Oleshki to facilitate an evacuation. "I think right now she's doing better than the professionals," he asserted. That said, Trump once again expressed his desire to complete a permanent ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow as soon as possible, in order to "do business (with both nations) after the war ends." "We'd like to get back to a life where Russia and Ukraine reach an agreement, and then we could do business with both... We'll do business with Ukraine and with Russia after this war ends, I suppose," he clarified. Finally, the Democratic Party was once again the focus of the Republican leader's criticism ahead of the November 3 elections, where polls predict a broad victory for the progressives. "The Democrats are very corrupt. To me, corruption is one of the biggest things. If you look at Minnesota, if you look at Los Angeles, if you look at New York, corruption is out of control — and to me, corruption is a very big factor," he criticized, while regarding the Republican Party — to which he belongs — he recalled that when he began his political career it was "very weak" and that now, thanks to him, the party "wins." This Saturday was the first day of early voting in Florida, which runs from October 24 through Halloween. Trump's plans for Election Day are still unclear. He did not respond when journalists asked him this week what he would do that day.
