We may as well drop “President-elect” Donald Trump, which I’m still not tired of writing, and start using “Acting President Donald Trump,” because while doddering old Joe Biden is falling asleep in his chair in Africa, Donald Trump is out meeting with world leaders – and they are anxiously awaiting their turn to meet with him.
Donald Trump belittled the leaders of the United States’ closest neighbours, Canada and Mexico, at a Fox awards ceremony intended to celebrate his role as America’s greatest “patriot”.
Two weeks after threatening the two countries with 25% tariffs on their imports for supposedly failing to prevent drugs and migrants from crossing the border, the president-elect took evident pleasure in an audience chant that taunted Canada as the 51st US state.
When it comes to public confidence in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s ability to deal with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, most Canadians don’t think Trudeau is equipped to deal with the recent tariff announcement.
Trump announced he would impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian imports once he takes office in January as punishment for the government’s lax approach to border security which has allowed criminals and drugs to flow south with little enforcement.

Former Secret Service agent Richard Staropoli warned Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump could soon face an attack that his former agency is unprepared to prevent.
Trump posted the AI-generated photo with the caption “Oh Canada!” on social media. It depicted the incoming president looking over a mountainous landscape with a Canadian flag waving behind him.
This is all in jest and the Trump video is AI.
The final hearing for the House Assassination Task Force devolved into an impassioned shouting match between Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe and a Republican panel member.
Jeff Bezos said he was ‘optimistic’ about President-elect Donald Trump’s second term on Wednesday and even plans to ‘help him’ achieve their shared goals.
The Amazon founder was often seen as antagonistic toward Trump during his first go around in the White House.
However, Bezos expressed some excitement about potential regulatory cutbacks in the coming years.
‘I’m actually very optimistic this time around,’ Bezos said on stage during a wide-ranging interview at a conference in New York.
‘He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. If I can help do that, I´m going to help him.’
‘We do have too many regulations in this country,’ Bezos added.
Bezos also promised to ‘save’ The Washington Post, which he owns, following fierce backlash and a precipitous drop in readership after his bombshell October decision to prohibit the paper from endorsing a presidential candidate.
“(Trump) made jokes, other people at the table made jokes,” Hillman said, who was part of the Canadian delegation to Mar-a-Lago, though she wasn’t seated at the same table as Trump and Trudeau during the three-hour dinner. “People were making jokes, which, actually, I have to say, I find to be reassuring that people are that comfortable with each other, that they’re teasing.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is accusing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of being unhelpful in his criticisms when it comes to dealing with the incoming Donald Trump administration.
Trudeau said there’s a long-standing tradition that when the nation comes under threat in some way, Canadians pull together to defend their country.
But it’s “increasingly clear” Poilievre is unable to do that.
Trudeau made the comments about his political rival on the way into question period on Wednesday.
Between 50 to 100 Venezuelan nationals in Mexico are now requesting what is known as “voluntary return” every week, according to a Venezuelan official that spoke with Reuters, who added that many of these migrants have faced perilous situations in Mexico, such as kidnappings and sexual exploitation. A dozen migrants in Mexico told the news outlet that they would prefer to go back to their home countries, despite whatever issues that drove them to leave in the first place.
Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham purchased a 1,402-acre plot of land for $3.8 million in October and has offered it to the incoming Trump administration to use for immigration detention facilities, according to NBC News. In his campaign, Trump vowed to use the military to carry out his plan for mass deportations.
The suspect in the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.
Routh was allegedly armed with an assault rifle outside Trump International Golf Club while Trump was playing the fifth hole on Sunday afternoon.
He was able to push the muzzle of his gun through the chainlink fence outside the golf club, authorities said.
FBI says it’s probing ‘attempted assassination’ on Trump after gunman ‘armed with assault rifle’ was shot at by Secret Service on his golf course
Trump confirmed in a statement about an hour after the incident that he is ‘safe and well’ and didn’t want rumors to ‘start spiraling out of control.’

I was out this afternoon and this happened.
Thank you XC, Mauser & DS.
If there is one thing in the American political picture today that is as obvious as a diamond on a manure pile, it’s the fact that the federal government is out of control. It has grown far beyond its original, constitutionally mandated boundaries into an imperial colossus, dominating the land, sucking away the taxpayers’ wealth, running up literal mountains of debt, and intruding into almost every aspect of our daily lives.
“I will support modifying the 25th Amendment to make clear that if a vice president lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the President of the United States, if you do that with a coverup of the President of the United States, it’s ground for impeachment immediately and removal from office. Because that’s what they did,” Trump said.
