CNN: Trump directs national security staff to convene in the Situation Room, White House official says (4 Min Ago)

https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-attack-strikes-news-06-16-25-intl-hnk#cmbzrnmii00003b6zmau5hep8

Trump has directed his national security staff in Washington to convene in the Situation Room, a White House official tells CNN.

The official did not say if Trump directed the officials to convene immediately, or to be there when he returns to DC from the G7 Summit, having abruptly cut short his visit to Canada.

and we wouldn't have to suffer his hurt narcissist meltdown.

Please convene immediately in the situation room.

There is an urgent matter of national importance.

It's gonna be big. Real big.

Maybe the biggest ever.

It'll be big and horrible and beautiful.

Stay tuned.

But you caught the word choice, cadence and adolescent mindset.

If it was a guess, it was a damn good one.
