President Trump

WASHINGTON—A top Trump-appointed prosecutor has opened an internal review of the Justice Department’s decision to charge hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants with felony obstruction offenses in connection with the Capitol attack, according to people familiar with the matter.

Acting U.S. attorney Ed Martin in Washington, D.C., asked prosecutors in an email Monday to turn over files, documents, notes, emails and other information related to the cases, the people said, which included charges against some of the most violent rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The most amusing, and alarming, moment of Trump’s first week was a phone call to Copenhagen in which Trump said he’d like to buy Greenland in the style of a mafia boss who just took an interest in your casino. The bravado is the point. His strategy is to demand everything and see what he can get.

The don issued 28 executive orders and revoked 78 of Joe Biden’s. He’s abolishing programmes; he’s put diversity staff on leave. He’ll face resistance – turns out many Alaskans don’t want to rename their mountain “McKinley”, because they’re the very people who asked to call it “Denali” – but the Left is temporarily disorientated. Steve Bannon crows that there’s just “too much” for a liberal media to cover or for Democrats to oppose: Trump is “overwhelming the system.”

Vance was a great pick

“I don’t really care Margaret.”

Should become the standard response to anyone pushing insane leftist policies, from open borders to men in women’s sports, to dividing people down the lines of sex and race.

It’s time to tell them that you don’t care.

On Saturday evening, as his plane headed from Las Vegas to Miami during a whirlwind, coast-to-coast first trip since returning to office, US President Donald Trump made his way to the back of Air Force One to talk to gathered reporters.

On the in-flight television screens, Fox News was back, having replaced CNN – and the president, fresh from a week in which he upended America’s government and ripped up its immigration policies, was feeling confident.

“We’re getting A-pluses on the work done – and also the amount of work done,” he said in response to a question from the BBC.

The era of ‘humanitarian’ interventionism wrought chaos and misery. Good riddance.

Some of President Donald Trump’s typically bombastic foreign-policy pronouncements have sounded a little, well, imperialist. He has breezily suggested turning Canada into America’s 51st state, talked up taking the Panama Canal back under US control and spoken frequently of buying Greenland from Denmark, even going so far as to refuse to rule out military action if his monetary advances are refused.

Four years after departing Washington, defeated and with the nation reeling from the attack on the Capitol, Donald Trump walked through the doors of the White House’s South Portico as the 47th president.

“It’s great to be back,” he told members of the household staff who applauded his return on Inauguration Day.

Trump then proceeded to kick off a first week in office unlike any other, dominating attention in the U.S. and abroad as he raced to fulfill campaign promises, make deals and settle scores.

Facing high expectations and a limited political window, the president headed to the Oval Office hours after he was sworn in Monday. A stack of executive orders waited on the Resolute Desk for his signature, and an aide asked if Trump wanted to assemble the press corps.

Four years ago, when Donald J. Trump failed to win a second term as president of the United States, many in the globalist elites initially assumed that they had seen the back of him.

A few saw him as a mischievous spirit, like the Ridgeway Ghost of Wisconsin, destined to fade away in time.

Last Monday, however, he was back for more.

President Donald Trump has said he believes the US will gain control of Greenland, after showing renewed interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory in recent weeks.

“I think we’re going to have it,” he told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday, adding that the island’s 57,000 residents “want to be with us”.

His comments come after reports that Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen insisted Greenland was not for sale in a fiery phone call with the president last week.

President Donald Trump said that allowing more water to flow down to California and implementing voter ID laws are necessary before federal aid is distributed to Los Angeles for wildfire relief.

President Trump isn't afraid to confront Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

This is why the people love him.

President Donald Trump addressed pro-life advocates in a video speech at the 52nd annual March for Life on Friday, praising them for their “extraordinary love and compassion for the unborn” while promising to “end the weaponization of law enforcement against Americans of faith.”

Denmark is in “crisis mode” after Donald Trump made a direct play for Greenland in a “horrendous” phone call with the country’s prime minister.

The US president spoke to Mette Frederiksen, the Danish premier, for 45 minutes last week and made clear he wanted to place Greenland under American control.

The autonomous Arctic territory has been owned by Denmark since 1814, but Mr Trump thinks it would be a valuable asset in the US’s strategic competition against Russia and China.

Trump was firm in his pursuit to acquire Greenland during a call with Denmark's prime minister, according to the Financial Times.

World leaders, the bosses of the world’s biggest companies and a sprinkling of celebrities gathered in the small Swiss mountain town of Davos for the annual World Economic Forum this week.

On the other side of the Atlantic, President Donald Trump was starting his political comeback as the new US president.

“Nothing will stand in our way”, he declared, as he vowed to end America’s “decline”.
