It is a remarkable reversal of his administration’s wariness of foreign entanglement. But it remains unclear how he would secure Venezuela if its army and militias choose to resist

Bericht van President Trump over NYT. De in de VS vallen dit soort Truth Social berichten nauwelijks nog op. Hoe zou je dit in ieder ander land beschrijven? Het is opnieuw druk op de vrije pers. Iedere president mopperde over berichtgeving, maar nooit eerder werden openlijk zulke woorden gebruikt.

Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

New in PN: Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away
"He's pursuing a contradictory strategy: On one hand, implicitly arguing that his connections to Epstein are no big deal since lots of people are connected to Epstein, and on the other hand, engaging in what looks a lot like a cover-up."

Q: Do you agree that Americans are paying those tariffs?
TRUMP: They might be paying something
Q: Chief Justice Roberts said tariffs are taxes paid by Americans. Yet you're saying this money is rolling in from other countries. How do you square that?
TRUMP: It is. It's coming in because they charged us.

Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47 · 2m You can thank demented losers like @PattyMurray and @SenatorCantwell for this completely unnecessary, avoidable mess. They are truly sick.
your hard-earned tax dollars are paying for a White House social media account that calls duty elected senators "demented losers."
it's totally unacceptable and a disgrace.
