President Donald Trump was able to chuckle about needing a lot of security after nearly being assassinated multiple times during a round of golf with his granddaughter, Kai Trump, that she posted to her YouTube channel on Saturday. Kai Trump, as the president drove the golf cart they were using between holes, pointed out there were plenty of Secret Service members off-camera.

Donald Trump claimed on Saturday that he has found a way to pay US military troops despite the ongoing federal government shutdown, saying he has instructed his defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, to release funds. Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: I am using my authority, as commander-in-chief, to direct our secretary of war, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our troops PAID on October 15. Trump said he had identified the funds to make the payments happen, adding: I will not allow the Democrats to hold our military, and the entire security of our nation, HOSTAGE, with their dangerous government shutdown. The radical left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT.

Phillip shared her thoughts on CNN's Table for Five on Saturday morning. Honestly, it's not unfair to say, if President Obama is going to write a whole post about a peace deal, maybe he should acknowledge the president who brokered it, she said. Her comment comes two days after Obama posted on X, saying, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight.

And I tell the story, Glenn, that in my first term, I had the honor of being the first president in 28 years to lower drug prices during the course of the year. And we actually did. And I was so proud of myself. We called a news conference. I announced it. It was one-eighth of 1 percent. One-eighth of 1 percent.

I think it was a mistake, as I already mentioned. Him putting out these demands for indictmentsI don't think it's right. I think, again, it's unseemly. Presidents don't normally do this. And to me, I think he's foolish, Bacon replied, adding: He's hurting his own case by making these demands, because I guarantee you, Director Comey and James here are going to use his words against him as the first part of their defense during these cases.

When Donald Trump appointed Lindsey Halligan to act as the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, critics worried that he had tapped her specifically to bring prosecutions against his enemies. It didn't take long for Halligan to prove the critics right. On September 25, she successfully persuaded a Virginia grand jury to indict former FBI Director James Comey. Yesterday, she secured an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

On Thursday, shortly after 1 A.M. in Israel, a sleepy screening of documentaries by recent film graduates on Channel 12 was interrupted by breaking news. An anchor announced that a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas had just been reached. The broadcast cut to the White House; footage showed President Donald Trump holding a roundtable event with conservative influencers, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio handed him a slip of paper.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the court said you have freedom of speech but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds, they've never seen anything like it on both sides and you end up with riots. So we're going on that basis. We're looking at it from not from the freedom of speech, which I always felt strongly about, but never passed the courts.

And his fixation, his mania for being in our face, day and night. He has already claimed he's the best person to host the Kennedy Center Honors, and now comes word that he's hosting a UFC fight on the White House lawn on his birthday next summer. So why not Late Night With Donald J. Trump? After all, the man has been doing stand-up comedy, unintentionally of course, for years.

people can be who they are, they can love who they love, they can live where they are

The text of the note handed to Donald Trump by Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, on Wednesday afternoon, captured in a photograph, suggested the president could soon announce a peace deal in Gaza on his social media platform. Very close, the note read, according to an image of the handwritten note taken by Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci. We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first.

Trump knows that they will mention his history-making presidencies, his ostentatious wealth, and his unusual charisma-but he also is aware that when he dies, people will remember his conviction on 34 felony counts, and that there is nothing he can do about it. Even now, White House officials have told me, Trump rages about how his guilty verdict is sure to be mentioned way up high in his obituaries.

Regarding a phone call Trump had last month with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, the president said he was taken aback by her insistence that Portland is not the hellscape he has been saying it is. I spoke to the governor, she was very nice, Trump said last month. But I said, Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.'

I haven't heard the name in so long, Trump said when asked about Maxwell, adding that he'll have to look into it.

Donald Trump went with a different tactic on Monday. During an Oval Office press conference, CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked the president if he'd consider pardoning Ghislane Maxwell, now that the Supreme Court has declined to review the 2021 conviction of Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice. "I haven't heard the name in so long," he said. "I can say this, I'd have to take a look at it."

"Absolutely, there are people I don't like," she told interviewer and TV writer Brad Falchuk, "and I would like to put them on one of Musk's spaceships and send them all off to the planet he's sure he's going to discover."
