But I also did a cognitive exam, which is always very risky because if I didn't do well you would be the first to be blaring it. And I had a perfect score, and one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score, I got the highest score. And that made me feel good.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has praised US President Donald Trump's leadership in the Gaza peace talks, claiming the deal "would not have happened" without him. On Wednesday, Trump announced Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of his 20-point peace plan, in a major step towards a permanent end to their war. It comes two years and two days after the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others taken hostage.
President Donald Trump appears poised to put his image on both sides of a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint. On Oct. 3, the White House reshared an X post from U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach confirming reports that the Trump administration was seeking to put the president's image on the front and back of a dollar coin commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary. U.S. currency typically does not feature living people - or sitting presidents - but it's not unprecedented. "There have been times in the past where commemorative coins have been printed with the faces of living people," White House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett said on CNN's " State of the Union " Oct. 5. He's right: Several living people have been featured on U.S. coins in both the recent and distant past, including one sitting president.
Just over an hour later, Trump published a Truth Social post announcing that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! he wrote.
Sanctimonious Richard Da Nang Dick Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest joke in the United States Senate, is at it again! Dick lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great War Hero who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years fight for freedom while in Vietnam.
When I watch television last night, and I'm watching the news and I see that nine people were killed in Chicago and 54 were badly wounded with bullets, I say, That's not our country. We have to do something,' Trump said in early September.
Trump took questions after he and Carney gave remarks at the top of the meeting, much of which aired during Tuesday's edition of CNN's Inside Politics. At the end of approximately 32 quotable minutes of Trump, Carney, and the press pool, guest anchor Manu Raju turned to CNN senior reporters Edward-Isaac Dovere and Daniel Dale for a reality check on some of what Trump said.
You just said that this is an unenviable choice, said ABC's Mary Bruce. But the president has described this as an unprecedented opportunity to lay off additional workers. He posted a video likening [Office of Management and Budget chief] Russell Vought to the Grim Reaper. So which is this? Is this an opportunity to fire more workers or an unfortunate consequence?
Throughout his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed vengeance on a Democratic Party he regularly called "the radical left" (or, on occasion, "communists") and accused of a treasonous conspiracy to turn over the country to criminal immigrants and America-hating globalist elites. Even as he has relentlessly pressed to expand his own powers to unprecedented levels, the 47th president has begun acting on his threats by deploying the machinery of justice against people, institutions, and ideas he dislikes.
As recently as the autumn of 2022, anti-Donald Trump (or at least non-Trump) Republicanism was alive and well in a good part of the country. Plenty of Republican politicians had deplored his conduct after losing the 2020 election and lived to tell the tale. Many blamed the former president for damaging the party's prospects in the 2022 midterm elections with ill-advised interventions in GOP primaries.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced his administration had reached a deal with Harvard University after months of feuding. Early on in his second term, Trump sought to remove diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives by threatening to pull federal funding from any entity that makes use of them. That also went for universities across the country. Trump also tried to quell anti-Israel speech on college campus, which he conflated with anti-Semitism and pro-Hamas speech.
Trump on Monday warned New York City residents not to vote for Mamdani, whom Trump called a "self proclaimed New York City Communist," and said if Mamdani wins in November, "He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great city." Trump continued: "Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his fake communist promises. He won't be getting any of it, so what's the point of voting for him?"
Gov. Ron DeSantis and the three other members of the Florida cabinet voted unanimously Tuesday to give a $67 million plot of land adjacent to Miami's Freedom tower to Donald Trump's presidential library foundation with few strings attached. Trump has not publicly committed to using the land, and there are still discussions of having multiple presidential library sites - including one in Palm Beach County. Trump's team is also considering building a hotel on the Miami property, according to sources.
Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday with a lengthy post alleging three very sinister events during his appearance at United Nations headquarters, and demanded an immediate investigation into malfunctions with an escalator, the teleprompter, and the sound system. Colbert replayed footage of Trump's stumble as the escalator suddenly stopped, adding that the president just will not let it go. In his post, Trump described the halted escalator as nearly catastrophic, later declaring: The people that did it should be arrested.
President Donald Trump has teased that he was going to hang an official picture of the autopen to mock his Democratic successor and predecessor, and that joke came to reality on Wednesday, with White House Communications Advisor Margo Martin posting a video on X of several presidential portraits lining the West Wing Colonnade. The video pans across pictures of George W. Bush and Barack Obama,
I've worked closely with the private sector over many years. And I always believed that if push came to shove, those titans of industry would be guardrails for our democracy, for the importance of sustaining democratic institutions. And one by one by one, they have been silent. They have been, you know, yes, I use the word feckless,
The National Park Service and United States Park Police removed a statue that depicted President Trump cavorting with his former friend Jeffrey Epstein from the National Mall on Wednesday morning. The statue, the latest in a series of such displays placed on the Mall by a group of anonymous artists, received a permit from the National Park Service that allowed it to stay up until 8 PM on September 28.
I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! complained Trump in a Truth Social post: Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his talent was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE.
