The lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade County, Florida, said the nation's largest lender violated its own policies by singling him out, to ride the "political tide" by terminating several of his accounts. "While we regret President Trump has sued us, we believe the suit has no merit. We respect the President's right to sue us and our right to defend ourselves," JPMorgan said.
The U.S. stock market bounced back from its worst day since October on Wednesday after President Donald Trump said he reached the framework for a deal about Greenland, an island he's long coveted, and won't impose tariffs he had threatened on several European countries. The S&P 500 rallied 1.2% after Trump said the deal, "if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America" and its allies in the North Atlantic region.
Trump told reporters he was mildly shocked that his speech earlier in the day was getting great reviews because normally he gets framed as a tyrant, he said. I can't believe it, we got good reviews on that speech. Usually they say he's a horrible dictator-type person, Trump said. But sometimes you need a dictator but they didn't say that in this case.
His administration played a role in brokering ceasefires between Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, and Armenia and Azerbaijan, though these were incremental agreements, and some leaders dispute the extent of his involvement. He did secure the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage deal, but it involves multiple stages and remains incomplete with hundreds in Gaza reported killed since the first phase took effect in October.
The president's rallying cry was aspirational for the same reason that his economic agenda is flailing: He and his party have no abiding interest in advancing an economic program that would actually benefit working-class Americans. And Trump, being Trump, has refrained from devoting any serious thought or attention to deep and lasting economic reforms. Instead, he's pushed a series of gimmicky policy responses that amount to opportunistic photo-ops at best, and cynical afterthoughts at worst.
Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The president repeated wild 2020 election conspiracy theories, raged at former CNN host Don Lemon, baselessly claimed that a witness to a fatal ICE shooting this month was a paid agitator, alleged that pirating ships, is the only thing Somalis are good at, said people in Washington, D.C. can act like a real lover after he deployed the National Guard there, dunked on former Special Counsel Jack Smith, and declared that God is very proud of the president's first year back in office.
President Donald Trump's own supporters are among the staggering majority of Americans in a new poll who say they don't want him to serve a third term. Trump has been floating the idea of blowing off term limits for years, and one Republican has already introduced an amendment to allow it. But support for Trump's flirtation with defying constitutional term limits sits around the Belief-In Sasquatch level, according to a new poll from YouGov taken January 9 14, 2026.
One year ago today, Donald Trump was inaugurated as president of the United States. Standing alongside him that day were the leaders of the tech industry's most powerful companies, who had donated to him in an unprecedented bending of the knee. In the ensuing year, the companies have reaped enormous rewards from their alliance with Trump, which my colleague Nick Robins-Early and I wrote about last month after Trump signed an executive order prohibiting states from passing laws regulating AI.
Oh, did he say that? Well nobody wants him because he's gonna be out of office very soon. That's alright. What I'll do is if they feel like hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes and he'll join. But he doesn't have to join. If he said that, you're probably giving it to me a little bit differently, but if he actually did say that but as you know, he's gonna be out of office in a few months.
The Kremlin says it is seeking to clarify all the nuances of the offer from Washington. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been invited to join United States President Donald Trump's board of peace, purportedly aimed at resolving global conflicts as well as overseeing governance and reconstruction in Gaza. The invitation, which emerged on Monday, was extended as Russia's nearly four-year war on Ukraine continues and a peace deal there remains elusive.
Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has long sought close ties to the Trump administration in its quest for powerful international allies and an end to its political isolation at home. But as public sentiment in Germany increasingly turns against U.S. President Donald Trump and his foreign interventionism - in particular his talk of taking control of Greenland and his seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro - AfD leaders are recalibrating, putting distance between their party and a U.S. president they previously embraced. "He has violated a fundamental election promise, namely not to interfere in other countries, and he has to explain that to his own voters," Alice Weidel, one of the AfD's national leaders, said earlier this week.
