White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will hold a briefing today to discuss President Donald Trump’s latest plans and administrative agenda. The briefing was scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET.
There may very well be questions about the Michael Cohen tape and the Carter Page FISA document and the continued Russia fallout and the President yet again going after the NRL and Trump’s continued attacks on the press and all the rest of it, but right now it’s very likely Trump’s Iran tweet will be a rather big topic:
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

This Trump tweet came after a statement from President Hassan Rouhani warning Trump not to “play with the lion’s tail.”
Sanders will also likely face questions about Russia and North Korea, two topics Trump tweeted about today with the angle of going after the media:
When you hear the Fake News talking negatively about my meeting with President Putin, and all that I gave up, remember, I gave up NOTHING, we merely talked about future benefits for both countries. Also, we got along very well, which is a good thing, except for the Corrupt Media!

A Rocket has not been launched by North Korea in 9 months. Likewise, no Nuclear Tests. Japan is happy, all of Asia is happy. But the Fake News is saying, without ever asking me (always anonymous sources), that I am angry because it is not going fast enough. Wrong, very happy!
