The president posted a picture of him towering over a Navy ship and pointing forward with the caption \u201cIt was the Calm Before the Storm.\u201d Trump is flanked by a very serious-looking admiral in the pic:<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"588\" height=\"998\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/c4b5d399249f828e3b67ec74a493994b.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Trump told reporters before he left for China last week that he was thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/05\/12\/world\/middleeast\/trump-iran-ceasefire-strikes.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:ending the month-long ceasefire;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;ending the month-long ceasefire&quot;}\" class=\"link \">ending the month-long ceasefire<\/a> and restarting attacks on Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe\u2019re either going to make a deal or they\u2019re going to be decimated,\u201d Trump said on May 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He added a post on Saturday afternoon about the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/trump-absolutely-melts-down-biased-101450618.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:renovation;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;renovation&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> renovation<\/a> of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Trump said the project is costing a \u201csmall fraction\u201d of the $355 million he said ex-Presidents Biden and Barack Obama spent on it.
