Donald Trump’s plan to be king of the world His Board of Peace is essentially a global slush fund, run by him and him alone.

Donald Trump’s plan to become king of the world.

Maryland House greenlights new congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders The bill now heads to the Maryland Senate, where its future is less certain.
