Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent explained why he made the decision to resign over the war in Iran during a press conference Thursday.

Kent, an outspoken Trump supporter, stated that he made a "promise" to himself 20 years ago, when he was deployed as a soldier in Iraq, that he would "not in good conscience send young men and women off to die on foreign battlefields."

Kent said in a resignation letter posted to social media that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation," adding, "It is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

He called upon Trump to "reflect on what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for."

While speaking about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in the Oval Office Thursday, Trump said, "he's stubborn and he's got Trump derangement syndrome... it's not a curable disease."

"He should be lowering rates immediately. But he won't do that because he's a stubborn, incompetent person, and that's a bad thing," Trump said about Powell.

Trump told reporters that he did not think Newsom should be president because he has dyslexia, then stumbled over his words, stating, "The President of the United States, Gavin 'Newscum,' admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia. Everything about him is dumb."

Jennifer Aniston criticized Republican Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance about his past views on women without children.

The actress shared a clip of Vance from 2021 which had the senator say, the United States was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” Aniston, who is usually private about her life but has shared her experiences about her fertility journey in the past said in a post online, “All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”
