US Open asks broadcasters to avoid crowd reactions to Trump during men’s finals match | CNN Business Whether Trump is met by jeers or cheers at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, the US Tennis Association says it wants the focus to be on the court.

The last time President Trump attended a US Open match, as a presidential candidate in 2015, the booing was so loud that multiple news outlets wrote stories about it. He will be back on Sunday, attending the men’s final, prompting a question: What will ABC/ESPN show and how? >>>

🚨 Trump posted today, declaring war on the city of Chicago. So why is the US Open allowing him to attend the men’s tennis final tomorrow β€” and censoring broadcasters?

Don’t lose sight that Trump has no clear foreign policy for anything, including #NATO. The U.S. is no longer leading, not trusted to honor its commitments, nor attractive to our European allies. His bullying has spurred Europe in a way that only makes us less connected, and thus less secure.

Brilliant piece by my brilliant friend, Kori. And exactly why I started Elevation Global Strategies, to help build and expand our community of global partnerships and connections that run deeper than short-sighted, self-destructive policies.

Trump’s trip to the Middle East is revealing more about America’s actual (narrow and outdated) perceptions of the Gulf states than anything. Especially Qatar. My take? There’s work to be done. The gifted 747/AF1 plane story hasn’t helped.

Donald Trump fired the heads of the National Security Agency following a meeting with far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. @defensebaron.bsky.social lays out how these firings give U.S. adversaries the chance to β€œstart trouble.”

Trump wants US troops takeover of Gaza???

And forcibly expel Palestinians.

So he can redevelop the real estate.
