✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

President Trump has just landed in the United Kingdom for his second state visit of this term, pushing forward his mission of strengthening America’s alliances at a critical moment on the world stage. With global tensions still high, he’s set to meet with key leaders, and reports say another meeting with Zelenskyy is already on the horizon to address the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Back home, Trump is taking the fight directly to the New York Times with a $15 billion lawsuit that calls out their reckless and dishonest reporting. If there’s one thing Trump never backs down from, it’s holding corrupt institutions accountable. And as the nation grieves the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk, we’re seeing some surprising voices on the left finally condemn the vile rhetoric that fuels such hatred.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

🛡️ Trump and Zelenskyy to Meet Next Week
Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could meet next week on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City, as Trump continues diplomatic efforts involving multiple calls with Putin and meetings with Zelenskyy. Poland's foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski called on NATO allies to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine to protect both Ukrainians from Russian aerial bombardments and neighboring NATO allies, though the move is unlikely to be approved by NATO. Russian Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned that implementing a no-fly zone would mean "a war between NATO and Russia," while Trump faces increasing pressure to take a tougher stance against Putin despite threatening sanctions but not yet employing them. Rubio emphasized that Trump is "the only leader in the world that can talk to both the Ukrainians, Europeans, and also to the Russians," and warned that if Trump disengages, "there's no one left in the world that could possibly mediate the end." The meeting comes as Trump works on security guarantees with European partners that would be necessary in any negotiated settlement to end the conflict.

📚 Trump Makes Historic Charter School Investment
The Trump administration announced a record $500 million investment in charter schools through the Charter Schools Program, marking the largest investment in the program's history following dismal 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress scores that showed 12th graders' math and reading at record lows. Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated the administration "will use every available tool to meaningfully advance educational outcomes and ensure every American has the opportunity to succeed in life," with the funding supporting education choice in fiscal year 2025. The investment comes amid nationwide declining enrollment in traditional public schools, as parents increasingly turn away from traditional public schools since the COVID-19 pandemic, seeking alternatives like charter schools that compete with traditional schools for students and per-pupil funding. Charter schools allow families to choose alternatives beyond schools within their ZIP code or school district, creating competition in the education landscape as school choice legislation introduces new options outside neighborhood schools. The administration also pledged support for American history and civics programs, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) as part of the broader education initiative.

📈 Federal Reserve to Cut Rates After Trump Pressure
The Federal Reserve is expected to announce its first interest rate cut of the year on Wednesday with a 25-basis-point reduction in the benchmark federal funds rate, lowering the target range to 4% to 4.25% despite signs of tariffs pushing inflation higher. Markets have priced in the cut with the CME FedWatch tool showing a 96% chance of a 25-basis-point cut, as Fed policymakers face pressure from both rising inflation and weakening job creation data that showed only 22,000 jobs added in August. The Fed's preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures index, has trended further from the 2% target since spring, with headline PCE rising to 2.6% in July and core PCE inflation reaching 2.9%. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that tariffs have contributed to inflation concerns, stating "we went on hold when we saw the size of the tariffs and where, essentially, all inflation forecasts for the United States went up materially as a consequence of the tariffs." The anticipated rate cut comes amid an intense pressure campaign by the Trump administration aimed at pushing the central bank to lower rates to boost the economy and potentially reduce interest rates on the national debt.

⚖️ Trump Files $15B Lawsuit Against NYT
President Trump filed a $15 billion defamation and libel lawsuit against The New York Times, four of its reporters, and Penguin Random House in a Florida court. He accused the NYT of being a “virtual mouthpiece for the Radical Left Democrat Party” and of falsely smearing him, his family, business, the America First Movement, MAGA, and the nation. The lawsuit cites specific NYT articles, including an editorial before the 2024 election and a book published by Penguin titled Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW!” He claims these publications have caused reputational and financial injury, damaging his “unique brand” and other business interests.

🔔 Trump Arrives in the UK for State Visit 🔔

President Trump has made history as the first American president to receive two state visits from a British monarch, arriving at Windsor Castle for an unprecedented diplomatic engagement with King Charles III. The president and first lady Melania Trump were greeted by Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper before spending their first night at the nearly 1,000-year-old royal residence, where they will occupy one of Windsor Castle's grand guest suites reserved for heads of state.

The Thames Valley Police deployed one of its largest ever security operations for the visit, employing comprehensive drone tactics and airspace restrictions across Windsor Castle that haven't been seen since King Charles's coronation. Inspector Matthew Wilkinson confirmed that both visible and invisible policing drone tactics were implemented to ensure everyone's safety, with security measures extending to Chequers, the prime minister's official country residence. The multi-force security operation includes resources "everywhere across the town, including in the air, on land and on the waterways," according to Thames Valley Police officials.

Trump's relationship with the British royal family spans decades, with the president describing King Charles as his "friend" long before he ascended to the throne. "My relationship is very good with the U.K., and Charles, as you know, who's now king, is my friend," Trump told reporters, emphasizing the personal nature of this diplomatic engagement. The president expressed particular enthusiasm about staying at Windsor Castle, calling it "the ultimate" venue for his second state visit.

The elaborate accommodations reflect the significance of this diplomatic moment, with the Trumps staying in lavish State apartments adorned with paintings of kings, queens, and lords of the Garter in ornate frames. They will be served the specific "Royal Blend" black tea created for Windsor Castle, while their stay includes full military honor guards, three brass bands, and ceremonial pageantry steeped in centuries of tradition. The castle's rich history, begun by William the Conqueror in 1070 and expanded by monarchs throughout the centuries, provides a majestic backdrop for strengthening transatlantic ties.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are positioned to play pivotal roles throughout the state visit, representing the future of the monarchy while supporting diplomatic relations between the two nations. The Prince and Princess of Wales will officially greet the Trumps upon their arrival at Windsor Castle before accompanying them to meet King Charles and Queen Camilla. Royal expert Hilary Fordwich noted that "William and Kate's increased prominence isn't at all by accident" but rather "carefully curated" to cement their significance in the US-UK special relationship.

The centerpiece of diplomatic festivities will be the state banquet in St. George's Hall, where the massive Waterloo Table can accommodate up to 160 guests with more than 4,000 pieces of formal place settings, including 200-year-old silver. The elaborate preparation requires five full days to properly set the table, with menus written in French according to tradition dating back to the 11th century. Both King Charles and President Trump are expected to deliver speeches at the beginning of the dinner, with Head Royal Chef Mark Flanagan preparing cuisine that considers both British and American tastes.

Security preparations demonstrate the high stakes of this diplomatic engagement, with Thames Valley Police Firearms Units deployed to Windsor and Specialist Search Units conducting comprehensive sweeps throughout the weekend. The security operation extends through Thursday, though Trump is not expected to leave the UK until Friday, with mounted police officers patrolling the area throughout the three-day event. These extensive measures come amid heightened political violence concerns in the United States, though British officials characterize the security arrangements as standard for high-profile visits.

The visit carries particular diplomatic weight as Trump prepares to meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday, extending the diplomatic engagement beyond royal protocol to active governmental relations. The Thames Valley Police extended airspace restrictions to include Chequers, the prime minister's official country residence, indicating the breadth of diplomatic activities planned throughout Trump's extended stay.

The historic nature of Trump receiving two state visits from British monarchs – first from Queen Elizabeth II and now from King Charles III – establishes a precedent in US-UK diplomatic relations. This state visit represents more than ceremonial pageantry; it embodies the enduring strength of the US-UK special relationship through changing political landscapes and generational transitions within both governments and the monarchy. The personal friendships, institutional respect, and shared commitment to diplomatic engagement displayed throughout this historic visit provide a foundation for continued cooperation between two of the world's most important democratic allies. The success of this unprecedented second state visit establishes a model for how personal diplomacy and institutional tradition can work together to strengthen international relationships in an increasingly complex global environment.

🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟

🎯 The trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump while he golfed in West Palm Beach in September 2024, continued with forensic testimony from FBI experts. An examiner testified that the rifle found near the sixth hole was a Chinese-made Norinco SKS, was in working condition, had a round in the chamber, the safety off, and was “prepared to fire.” An FBI biologist testified that DNA evidence tied Routh to items recovered at the scene, including the rifle grip, a glove, zip ties, and other objects. Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon sustained prosecution objections when Routh strayed beyond testimony scope.

🚔 DHS Secretary Kristi Noem arrived in Chicago to oversee ICE's Operation Midway Blitz, with Border Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino reporting "many arrests" as his Operation At-Large team deployed resources used previously in Los Angeles. A tactical team served a felony arrest warrant for illegal re-entry in Elgin, Illinois, making an "explosive" entry into a home after a roadblock, while DHS arrested violent offenders for assault, DUI, and felony stalking charges. ICE also arrested violent gang member Aldo Salazar Bahena, who was found guilty of murder charges but released from Stateville Correctional Center due to Illinois sanctuary policies, despite a 2016 federal removal order.

⚖️ Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been permanently removed from prosecuting President Trump's Georgia election interference case after the state Supreme Court declined in a 4-3 decision to hear her appeal from the Court of Appeals ruling. The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled Willis and her office could not continue prosecuting the case due to an "appearance of impropriety" stemming from her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had hired to help lead the case. The Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia will now choose a replacement prosecutor who could continue the case, pursue only some charges, or dismiss it altogether, though prosecuting Trump seems unlikely now that he is the sitting president.

📋 Former Attorney General Bill Barr's 120-page House Oversight Committee deposition transcript reveals he had no knowledge of incriminating ties between President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, despite Democrat claims that his testimony did not clear Trump of wrongdoing. Barr testified he had two conversations with Trump about Epstein and denied Trump expressed views on the DOJ's Epstein probe or gave instructions regarding its conduct. When asked by Rep. Jasmine Crockett if he had direct knowledge of women claiming encounters with Trump through Epstein, Barr stated he "was never told that there was evidence to support that claim" and suggested any incriminating evidence would have leaked given the Southern District of New York's reputation for leaks.

📜 The U.S. Senate unanimously passed Senator Mike Lee's resolution condemning the assassination of conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University while speaking to college students. The resolution honors Kirk as a devoted husband, father, and Christian who founded Turning Point USA in 2012, which became one of the fastest-growing college campus organizations in the country. The resolution extends condolences to Kirk's family, including his wife Erika and their two children, while praising his commitment to constitutional principles of civil discussion and debate between all people on college campuses.
