It's not quite a new year resolution, and it's certainly not a prediction. Think of it instead as a hope or even a plea for the next 12 months. May the coming year see those leaders who have done so much damage to their own countries, and far beyond, at last be called to account. Let 2026 be a year of reckoning.

America is toast if the radical left wins. They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. Won't be America anymore. https://t.co/9lppGuSyAV Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 1, 2026

The portrait of Jesus had been painted onstage by artist Vanessa Horabuena who, the president said, was one of the greatest artists anywhere in the world. To me, she's one of the greatest. In fact, she did something last night that was incredible. She can paint, slowly, a beautiful portrait for the White House, or she can paint the most incredible painting in literally 10 minutes, he added on video of the event broadcast on conservative channel Newsmax.

God Bless Tina Peters, who is now, for two years out of nine, sitting in a Colorado Maximum Security Prison, at the age of 73, and sick, for the crime' of trying to stop the massive voter fraud that goes on in her State ( where people are leaving in record numbers!), began Trump in a post on Truth Social. Hard to wish her a Happy New Year,

Shortly after the director's death, president Donald Trump himself took to social media to blast him as a "tortured and struggling artist," adding that Reiner was a "deranged person as far as Trump is concerned."

They don't raise money for it. They never show up, wrote the president via Truth Social on Tuesday, next to a Mediaite article about anger from JFK's family after Trump's proposed addition of his name to the Kennedy Center. The Trumps have always been supporters of the arts. The Kennedys are supporters of the Kennedys, read another screenshot from a Truth Social user posted by Trump.

Has the president convinced himself that he doesn't need to sell his policies and actions? It appears that he believes he can will people into agreeing with him by claiming his achievements are the biggest, best and most amazing in American history. He's gone way too far by slapping his name on buildings (the Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts) and government programs (the Navy's Trump-class battleship).

I want to issue a disclaimer. I'm not playing those clips because any of those men are heroic. I'm playing those clips because all three of them contributed to Donald Trump's victory in an important way, in a way that maybe people like me didn't appreciate, Wallace told her guests. She then singled out Rogan and his past talk about Trump's aging while admitting she likely didn't appreciate the influence he and other podcasters had in the last election.

US presidents have redecorated the Oval Office in different ways since it was first built in 1909. Most presidents have sat at the Resolute Desk, but others brought in their own personal furniture. President Donald Trump has added numerous gold embellishments to the Oval Office. It's been nearly 100 years since the Oval Office was first built under President William Howard Taft. Throughout that time, US presidents have each made different design choices to redecorate the formal workspace.

On Sunday, the president welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Mar-a-Lago, and Trump appeared to be wearing different colors of concealer on each hand. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted that the discoloration on Trump's right hand is due to handshakes. President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history.

We do have an understanding regarding Syria. Now, with Syria, you know, your new president, I respect him, he's a very strong guy and that's what you need in Syria. You can't put a choir boy, you can't put somebody that's a perfect person, everything's nice, no problems in life. You have the opposite there, he's a strong guy. We get along with him great. I can't ask for any more, he's been with us all the way.

Maher said this fixation has been going on for over a decade and that he doesn't have the energy or interest to have so many Trump-focused conversations. I do think you have to fight that. Like I say, if that's your whole personality is the first thing out of your mouth is, What are we going to do about Donald Trump?' I just can't, Maher said. I can't.

A deal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine was 95% done, Donald Trump claimed after his meeting over the weekend with Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago. Unfortunately, the 5% still remaining includes the small matter of getting Vladimir Putin to agree to a deal and there are precious few indicators that that is any closer. Instead, Trump's claim seems to be the latest in a long line of overoptimistic

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he was hopeful that US president Donald Trump will visit Ireland either next year for the Irish Open golf tournament or in 2027 for the Ryder Cup. Mr Martin - who will meet Mr Trump at the White House for St Patrick's Day - said he was particularly keen to underline Ireland's long-standing transatlantic relationship as the US marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

President Donald Trump took Christmas Eve calls from children inquiring as to the whereabouts of Santa Claus, according to NORAD's Santa Tracker. At one point, he fielded a call from a child in Pennsylvania, and it went as one might expect. Trump spoke to the children on speakerphone in front of cameras and was connected with a five-year-old boy and his mother in State College. Pennsylvania's great, Trump told the boy. We won Pennsylvania, actually, three times. We won Pennsylvania. We won it in a landslide, so I love Pennsylvania.

On Tuesday, CBS will broadcast the annual Kennedy Centers Honors. Yesterday, the newly appointed board of the Kennedy Center voted to change the facility's name to the Trump-Kennedy Center. But it would take Congressional approval to officially change the name. Therefore, CBS News will continue to use the Kennedy Center. If the president or other administration officials use the new name in a soundbite, that is their prerogative.

It has been a year dominated by Donald Trump. It has not yet even been 12 full months since his return to the White House in January but already the changes he has wrought in the US and around the world would have seemed scarcely conceivable in 2024. Katharine Viner, the Guardian's editor-in-chief, tells Annie Kelly what it has looked like from the editor's chair:

He bent the Republican-controlled Congress to his will and dismantled much of the federal bureaucracy. He brought powerful institutions, including prestigious universities and law firms, to heel, demanding that his ring be kissed and his wallet fattened. He upended the nation's economic and diplomatic relations with the world. He hijacked Americans' attention-he was everywhere!-while openly musing about tearing up the Constitution and serving a third term.

On October 7th, the Washington Post's David Fahrenthold published a video of Trump, circa 2005, chatting merrily on a bus with Billy Bush, the co-anchor of "Access Hollywood," as Trump prepared to make a guest appearance on an episode of the soap opera "Days of Our Lives." Trump bragged of his impulsivity. "I don't even wait. And, when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything," he said. "Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."
