Trump’s War on History
ON A JUNE AFTERNOON in Washington, swarms of mosquitoes were feasting on thousands of Americans as they watched a military parade roll past the National Mall. It was the US Army’s 250th birthday, which also happened to be President Donald Trump’s 79th, and the MAGA-heavy crowd watched the procession trudge down Constitution Avenue, largely silent but for the squeaking of armored personnel carriers. Groups of soldiers marched by at seemingly random intervals, as if to foreshadow the actual military occupation Trump would unleash on the city two months later. It was overcast and muggy, and spectators had lined up for hours to get inside the security perimeter.

Trump vs. Leo: Why the president took on the pope

What happened President Trump this week declared that the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran was “very close to over,” even as he ordered a naval blockade of Iranian ports and Tehran threatened to strike back by attacking shipping routes across the Middle East. The blockade is intended to force Tehran to accept terms after direct talks between U.S. and Iranian officials in Pakistan ended without a deal to halt the conflict or to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a Persian Gulf waterway that carried a fifth of the world’s oil before it was closed by Iran during the war. Vessels attempting to access or leave Iran’s ports will face “interception, diversion, and capture,” said U.S. Central Command. More than 15 U.S. warships and 100 aircraft are enforcing the blockade, which turned…
