President Donald Trump has an interesting perspective on everything that is happening around him. In a Thursday interview with Politico, he took the time to dismiss concerns without answering questions, talk about Cuba as his next target, slam Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and boast that he “fired” Anthropic “like dogs.” The president brushed off worries about how the Iran war might impact gas prices or even the U.S. military’s ammunition reserves. He insisted that the military action is popular with voters, claiming, “People are loving what’s happening.” While some recent public polls show mixed opinions on Iran, many others indicate the opposite of widespread popularity. Trump is definitely looking to shape the future in Iran. “I’m going to have a big impact,” he stated, adding that the U.S. will “work with the people and the regime to make sure that somebody gets there that can nicely build Iran but without nuclear weapons.” Trump emphasized that the U.S. will “help them make the proper choice” to avoid having to “do this again in another 10 years.” I would love to have his self-confidence and delusions for even an hour Trump described the U.S. campaign against Iran as highly controlled, despite concerns from Pentagon officials and lawmakers about dwindling weapons supplies. “We have unlimited supply of weapons, unlimited,” he asserted. “They have no navy. They have no air force. They have no detection of air. It’s all wiped out. Their radar is all wiped out. Their military is decimated. All they have is guts.” Beyond Iran, Trump predicted that Cuba is “going to fall, too.” because of “my intervention.” He explained that cutting off Venezuelan oil supplies, which were Cuba’s “sole source,” has intensified instability on the island. Trump views it as a relatively minor achievement for him, saying, “And that’s one of the small ones for me.” Statements like this carry significant weight in international discourse. When a prominent political figure such as Donald Trump suggests that Cuba “is going to fall” and mentions sending Marco Rubio, it inevitably shapes perceptions and raises questions about diplomatic intent,…— Pantheist (@Pantheist20) March 6, 2026 When asked about Ukraine, Trump reiterated that Vladimir Putin is ready to make a deal to end the war. Trump insisted that Zelenskyy “has to get on the ball, and he has to get a deal done,” suggesting that Ukraine’s leader isn’t showing enough willingness to negotiate. “It’s unthinkable that he’s the obstacle,” Trump remarked, adding, “You don’t have the cards. Now he’s got even less cards.” Trump also took credit for ‘solving’ the dispute between the Pentagon and the AI startup Anthropic after the firm refused to give the military unfettered access to its technology. He claimed, “Well, I fired Anthropic. Anthropic is in trouble because I fired [them] like dogs, because they shouldn’t have done that.” Dario Amodei just went on live television to apologize for a Slack post.The sequence of events that forced him there is the most important story in the AI arms race right now.Amodei: “I want to completely apologize for this memo.”Here is what happened in the hours before… pic.twitter.com/5vp7E9K3gb— Dustin (@r0ck3t23) March 6, 2026 He underscored his support for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, stating, “You see how good Pete’s doing, and you see how good the military.” Trump also took credit for the military’s current strength, noting, “I built the military in my first term, and I’m using it in my second term.” It is clear that despite severe backlash, he remains entirely on offense, projecting an image of unwavering confidence and control.
