Trump states the U.S. will impose a 100% tariff on China starting Nov 1, 2025, in response to China's planned export controls.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing...

President Trump warns of potential U.S. tariffs on Chinese products in response to China's proposed export controls on rare earths, calling it a "hostile" move that could disrupt global markets.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virtually anything else they can think of, even if it’s not manufactured in China. Nobody has ever seen anything like this but, essentially, it would “clog” the Markets, and make life difficult for virtually every Country in the World, especiall...

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: I am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly! This is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Eg...

Trump blasts Sen. Richard Blumenthal, calling him a "fraud" and "phony" over alleged Vietnam War service lies, urging investigation and justice.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietn...

Trump states "very positive discussions" with Hamas and global leaders on Gaza hostages and peace in the Middle East. Technical teams to meet Monday in Egypt to finalize details.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: There have been very positive discussions with Hamas, and Countries from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) this weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, finally have long sought PEACE in the Middle East. These talks have been very successful, and proceeding rapidly. The technical teams will again meet Monday, in Egypt, to work through and clarify the final details. I am told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I am ask...

VP JD Vance calls for Virginia AG candidate Jay Jones to drop out over past texts threatening a GOP leader, citing the messages as evidence of a "very deranged person."

JD Vance via X: The Democrat candidate for AG in Virginia has been fantasizing about murdering his political opponents in private messages. I'm sure the people hyperventilating about sombrero memes will join me in calling for this very deranged person to drop out of the race.

Trump praises Israel's temporary bombing halt for hostage release and peace efforts, warns Hamas against delays, and insists on swift action to prevent future threats from Gaza.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed. Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let’s get this done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!

Trump says Hamas is ready for peace and urges Israel to stop bombing Gaza to ensure hostages' safe release, citing ongoing discussions for Middle East peace.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.

Trump meets with Russ Vought to discuss potential cuts to "Democrat Agencies," describing them as a "political SCAM," and considers if cuts will be temporary or permanent.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump claims 274 FBI agents were in the January 6th crowd, contradicting Director Wray's statements. Calls for investigation into agents' roles and accuses past FBI directors of lying.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax. This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as “Law Enforcement Officials.” I want to know who each and every...

Trump states a 25% tariff on foreign "Heavy Trucks" starts Oct 1, 2025, to protect U.S. manufacturers like Peterbilt and Freightliner, citing national security concerns.

Therefore, our Great Large Truck Company Manufacturers, such as Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Mack Trucks, and others, will be protected from the onslaught of outside interruptions. We need our Truckers to be financially healthy and strong, for many reasons, but above all else, for...

President Trump announces 50% tariffs on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, and 30% on upholstered furniture, starting Oct 1, 2025, to counteract "flooding" from foreign countries.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale “FLOODING” of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump criticizes ABC for rehiring Jimmy Kimmel, alleging bias and poor ratings, and hints at legal action for what he calls an "Illegal Campaign Contribution."

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his “talent” was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I...

Trump asserts Ukraine, with EU and NATO support, can reclaim its original borders, suggesting Russia's prolonged conflict shows weakness. He emphasizes continued U.S. arms support to NATO.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for thre...

🌎 In 2024, the greater Atlanta area's shift underran the rest of the country, continuing an overall leftward trend for the region. The trend is powered by changing demographics and a broader suburban drift away from Republicans.

Screenshot from VoteHub's national precinct map, filtered to the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell Metropolitan Statistical Area. The map shows shifts to Republicans in predominantly Hispanic areas from 2020, with outer-ring suburbs shifting Democratic, due in large part to growing Black populations and broader suburban and exurban trends.

Trump insists "JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW," claiming legal actions have been delayed and criticizing past U.S. Attorney choices, while asserting his impeachment and indictments were unjust.

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, “same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.” Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the...

Donald J. Trump via Truth Social: We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan “Leadership” has forced into the United States of America. Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these “Monsters.” GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW, OR THE PRICE YOU PAY WILL BE INCALCULABLE!
