The president also confirmed there will be a 25 per cent tariff on all foreign-made cars, in another blow for Britain that experts have warned could cost 25,000 jobs. But Downing Street was breathing a sigh of relief as other countries facing even harsher punishment, with 10 per cent the ‘baseline’ level. Now, all eyes will be…

President Trump is demanding Colorado take down its “purposefully distorted” painting of him hanging in the State Capitol. “Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,” Trump wrote in a post Sunday on Truth Social. “The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one [of] me is truly the worst.

Democrats might be in meltdown mode right now over their recent shutdown surrender, but the top White House political official warned Republicans that they shouldn’t expect the other party’s dysfunction to help them in next year’s midterm elections. “Truthfully, I think the Republican Party’s success in the midterms will rise and fall on its own actions between now and then, irrespective of what the Democrats do,” said James Blair, the deputy chief of staff overseeing political and legislative affairs.

Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s second term was an “existential crisis.”According to Hostin, Democrats need to stop playing by the rules. When asked about politicians skipping town halls, Hostin said, “It’s very un-American, and it’s cowardly. If you are just, you know, stepping in line the way Republicans generally do behind a candidate that is harming the economy, I mean, you need to listen to the people that put you in office. Instead of being so concerned about maintaining power, why…

Don’t flatter yourself that this has much to do with you – this is just who they are. Don’t look for “nice” in these relationships. Look for trust.
