The Chinese military is encroaching on Taiwan's sea lanes, its airspace, its cyberspace. I know you have said that Xi Jinping wouldn't dare move militarily on Taiwan while you're in office. But what if he does? Would you order U.S. Forces to defend Taiwan? You'll find out if it happens, Trump replied, coyly. And he understands the answer to that.
Democrats enabled Donald Trump to become president twice because of repetition compulsions that still propel the party's leaders undermining the party's potential to end the real-life nightmare of Maga control over the federal government. Scrutinizing how this century's Democratic leaders set the stage for Trump's electoral triumphs is crucial not only for clarity about the past. It also makes possible a vital focus on how such failures can be avoided in the future.
Enten told viewers that among Americans, Canada has a net popularity rating of 49 percent, compared to Trump's net popularity rating of minus 10 percent. "When you pick on Canada as the United States president, you are picking on a country that the American people adore... When you're going after Canada, you are going against someone who is far more popular than... Donald Trump," he said.
The headpiece Mr. Trump received is a replica of one of six gold crowns excavated from Gyeongju's royal tombs, alongside gilded jewelry, belts and other ornaments. The crown was excavated in 1973 from a tomb, known as the Cheonmachong, that researchers believe belonged to the 21st or 22nd Silla king. It is the "largest and most extravagant" of the six crowns, a spokesman for Mr. Lee told Mr. Trump during the ceremony.
A leader with few equals for bombast and bravado, Trump has been showered with praise and gestures of veneration throughout his five-day tour of the region, which culminated in Thursday's high-stakes summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In Malaysia, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim praised Trump for his tenacity and courage in achieving the almost impossible task of securing a ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia.
President Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Friday, just a few hours before funding for federal food assistance for millions of low-income Americans was set to lapse. Associated Press White House Correspondent Danny Kemp posted a photo from the party, showing guests decked out in Roaring '20s attire. The photo features Trump dressed in regular 2020s attire.
Trump's shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment. Every era of American government has had its scandal. Trump's innovation is to make scandal itself a governing philosophy. Although it is tempting to see the Trump regime's corruption its open profiteering, its use of the state as an instrument of vengeance and self-enrichment as a perversion of American democracy, the truth is more unsettling: it's a mirror.
Last week, Steve Bannon, the far-right provocateur and one-time Donald Trump adviser, said in an interview with the Economist that the president would seek an unconstitutional third term. Trump is going to be president in 28, and people ought to just get accommodated with that, Bannon said. (He seemed to be referring to Trump winning the presidential election in 2028 Trump's current term will last through 20 January 2029.) At the appropriate time, we'll lay out what the plan is.
What's worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections, the president started his post off by asking. Trump said the answer is obvious when you consider what happened to our Country when Crooked Moron Joe Biden became President and Trump put that in quotes. We now know everything, Trump continued. I hope the DOJ pursue this with as much gusto' as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history!
Driving the news: Graham said on CBS News' "Face the Nation" that he thinks Trump has decided "it's time for" Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro "to go," calling land strikes a "real possibility." Worth noting: The White House did not immediately respond to Axios' request to confirm whether such a briefing has been scheduled. Trump last week said his administration would "probably go back to Congress and explain exactly what we are doing" before launching land strikes, but added, "we don't have to do that."
I want to start because you're in my country, so I want to welcome you Mr. President, the Emir said while squeezing Trump's hand. And as soon as I found out that he's coming to refuel, I said, I'm not going to allow him to take off unless I come and say hello to him. So thank you very much, Mr. President. And it's always good to see you.
If there's a controversial statue commemorating a dead white supremacist out there, there's a good chance the president has gone to bat for it. Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments, Trump tweeted in 2017, in response to a push to remove Confederate monuments. You can't change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson who's next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Trump added.
A week before Trump's second term began, someone posted a video of moving trucks at the White House with the words: "Biden is moving out." The MAGA supporter tweeted, "Trump is taking the garbage out !" But now that food prices keep rising, she's tweeting very differently these days. Tagging the president, she said, "please help us seniors ! Could use some extra $$ the economy is killing us We voted for you."
I haven't been transparent? Really? Trump said incredulously. He continued: I've shown this to everybody that would listen. Third-rate reporters didn't see it because they didn't look. You're a third-rate reporter, always have been. I'm just asking Mason could be heard faintly saying in the background. So third-rate reporters didn't look, but anybody that asked, these pictures have been in newspapers, they've been all over the place, and you know, we're very proud of it, Trump continued.
Construction started this week on the $250 million ballroom that President Donald Trump is adding to the White House as construction crews began tearing down the facade of the East Wing, where the new space is being built. The Republican president and top White House officials had initially said nothing would be demolished during construction. The 90,000-square-foot ballroom will dwarf the main White House itself, at nearly double the size, and Trump says it will accommodate 999 people.
Trump posted an AI video of himself wearing a crown and dumping shit from a "King Trump" jet on No Kings protesters. This is where we are as a country. pic.twitter.com/rnzUkJ4C4K - PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 (@patriottakes) October 19, 2025 Notably, ahead of the protest, Team Trump had already been throwing a fit, calling it the "hate America" rally: House Speaker it's why Mike Johnson it would attract an "antifa," "pro-Hamas" crowd of "Marxists"; Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) Tom. Emmer (R-Minn.) suggested it was organized by terrorists.
"He is using satire to make a point. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents, and that's what these people are doing," Johnson said, referring to an individual photo of a protest sign calling for the president's death.
'Sir, if you solve one more, you're going to be known as a peacekeeper.' So to the best of my knowledge, we've never had a president that solved one war, not one war. (George W.) Bush started a war (in Iraq). A lot of them start wars, but they don't solve the wars. They don't settle them, and especially when they're not, when they have nothing to do with us.
At first glance, the word might seem like just another Trumpism ― blunt, simple, a little playground-esque. But psychologists and communications experts say there's more going on. The repeated choice of "sick" isn't necessarily just an example of rhetorical laziness. It offers a window into how Trump views the world, how he positions his opponents, and why that framing can be so effective.
Trump's frustration with the conflict has surfaced repeatedly in the nine months since he returned to office, but with his latest comments he edged back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia. "Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts," Trump said in a Truth Social post not long after hosting Zelenskyy and his team for more than two hours of talks.
