It turns out: not that many world leaders or global citizens. That's because the Board of Peace, created last year by a UN security council resolution, and intended to have a singular focus on implementing a Gaza peace plan, is increasingly looking like a Donald Trump fiefdom, which could allow the US president to wade into other countries' affairs as he sees fit.

It took barely a glance at Donald Trump's social media posts on Tuesday for Jimmy Kimmel to know: We've got a code orange de-mental emergency going on here right now. I mean, he's gone. He's totally gone. The host focused in particular on the US president's meltdown over the $4.6bn Gordie Howe international bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, which Trump falsely claimed had been built with virtually no US content.

Lord, we beseeched thee.

FOX BUSINESS NETWORK HOST LARRY KUDLOW: So you've been very generous with your time. Just last question, can you beat history on these midterm elections, carry the House and the Senate for the GOP? Can you do it on the economy? Do you need more communication? Do need more marketing? Do you need more help? I mean, the numbers are on your side. The question is, does the public know this?

The organizers of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) did not hesitate to name who they thought is behind the "period of wrecking-ball politics." "The most powerful of those who take the axe to existing rules and institutions is US President Donald Trump," they wrote in the Munich Security Report 2026released on Monday. The release came as organizers announced that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead "a sizable delegation" of officials to the MSC this weekend.

Speaking at the Museum of the Bible earlier today, Donald Trump appeared to minimize the severity of domestic violence, complaining that it is a crime "if a man has a little fight with the wife." He was saying that crime has decreased since his federal takeover of D.C., claiming that statistics show crime is down 87% but that in reality, crime is down "more than 87%." The reason that he's not getting credit for crime being down even further, he claimed, is that there are things that are counted as crimes that should not be. Like domestic violence.

A 15-foot-tall golden sculpture of the president-"Don Colossus" to friends-has recently been completed and will likely soon stand triumphantly, his fist in the air, atop a 7,000-pound pedestal that has already been installed at Trump's Miami golf club. By the standards of leader worship, it might be too modest-Lilliputian when compared with the 40-foot-tall shining effigy that Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov built for himself in the late 1990s.

In some ways yes and in some ways no, referencing the recent bombshell Wall Street Journal story about investments from Abu Dhabi into the Trump family business just before he became president for a second time. If the name were Biden instead of Trump, people would be screaming bloody murder, Shapiro said, before adding that he's confident that the president will likely pardon himself and his children in the same way that [former President] Joe Biden did on his way out.

This time, however, Trump's account posted a now-deleted video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, drawing harsh criticism from lawmakers in both parties. What they're saying: "This disgusting video, posted by the so-called president, was done intentionally," Jeffries said in the clip, contradicting the White House's claim that it was an erroneous post by a staffer.

in other countries are going down hard for it. Not in America. We're just going to act like it never happened or that it's fake.

I'm in Philadelphia. I've just smoked a joint in a back alley and then checked into my hotel. My room is on the 10th floor: a corner room with a beautiful view of downtown Philly in front of my bed and to the right of it. I plop down on the hotel bed and close my eyes, taking in the late afternoon sun blasting through the windows.

ABRAMS: Yes, about the fact that the president of the United States is demanding if it's true, if it's not a joke, right, I would think it's kind of embarrassing that he's saying, well, all right, you know, I'll do it, but you got to put my name on Penn Station. You got to put my it's like, come on, man. He's almost got to be saying, are you serious?

We're not going to keep going to work and boosting the world's greatest economy in exchange for us to give up on democracy. If we have to destroy the stock market to save democracy, we need to accept that and, more importantly, the richest and the most powerful people in the world and in this country need to understand that that is a real possibility. There is no economic stability without democratic stability. If you take away our democratic stability, we will take away

It's the latest and dumbest chapter of the assumption of the figure of Columbus into the right-vs-left American culture war, in which the reactive American right has been compelled to champion and obsess over the historical and cultural validity of an Italian explorer born in 1451, who never even physically set foot on the land that would become the continental U.S.A., because the left dared to add context to the historical record.

Asked whether he'd respect the results of the elections that will be held later this year, Trump said he would only do so if he deemed the outcomes to be legitimate. "I will [accept the midterm outcomes] if the elections are honest," Trump said. Trump also said that if the elections aren't "honestly" conducted, "then something else has to happen." The president's judgment on what constitutes an "honest" election is highly suspect, as he has repeatedly peddled falsehoods.
