From securing the southern border to pushing for economic policies that prioritize American workers, his unwavering resolve continues to inspire hope, proving that strong leadership can pave the way for a safer, more prosperous future.
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
💰 Trump and Johnson Secure Major Budget Victory
Early Thursday morning, the House of Representatives passed President Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill, marking a significant political win after months of Republican infighting. The legislation extends the 2017 tax cuts and adds nearly $4 trillion to the national debt. House Speaker Mike Johnson navigated tough negotiations to overcome resistance from fiscal conservatives, ensuring the bill’s passage before Memorial Day. The White House hailed the vote as a step toward implementing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” with the Senate expected to take it up soon.
🕊️ Trump Condemns DC Embassy Staff Killings
President Trump responded to the shooting deaths of two Israeli embassy staffers near the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., calling for the violence to “end now.” The attack, described as a targeted act, also injured others, prompting strong statements from Israeli officials. Trump’s comments echoed Israel’s U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon, who labeled the incident an act of antisemitic terrorism. The incident heightened tensions, with emergency personnel responding swiftly at the scene.
🎤 Trump’s Heated Clash with NBC Reporter
During a Wednesday meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, President Trump sharply rebuked NBC reporter Peter Alexander for questioning a $400 million Boeing 747 gift from Qatar, intended for use as Air Force One. Trump called Alexander a “disgrace” and “jerk,” accusing him of diverting attention from serious issues like violence against white farmers in South Africa. The Pentagon confirmed the jet’s acceptance, sparking bipartisan concerns over ethics and security. Ramaphosa lightened the mood by joking about not bringing a plane to offer.
🌎 Trump Accuses Biden Officials of Border Treason
President Trump accused former Biden administration officials of “treason at the highest level” for their handling of the southern border, claiming they allowed unchecked illegal immigration. Speaking at a White House event, Trump alleged that these policies led to millions crossing the border, undermining national security. He vowed to implement stricter border measures, including mass deportations, as part of his administration’s agenda. The remarks stirred significant attention, reflecting Trump’s focus on immigration as a key issue.
"Death, death, death...horrible deaths," Trump says while going through articles about attacks on white farmers, meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
🔔 Trump Takes on South African Farmer Violence 🔔
President Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in a charged White House meeting on Wednesday, spotlighting violence against white Afrikaner farmers by presenting a video of Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema chanting “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” and images of crosses he claimed marked murdered farmers’ graves.
Trump pressed Ramaphosa on why Malema faced no arrest for inciting violence, asserting that South Africa’s land expropriation policies and unchecked crime amounted to a “genocide” against white farmers, with thousands reportedly fleeing to the U.S. as refugees. Ramaphosa countered that Malema’s rhetoric did not reflect government policy, emphasizing South Africa’s multiparty democracy and pointing to prominent white South Africans in his delegation to refute claims of systemic persecution.
The exchange sparked intense reactions, with Malema defiantly reaffirming his party’s chant as a historical anti-apartheid slogan, not a call to violence, while the EFF, holding nearly 10% of recent election votes, stood firm on land expropriation without compensation.
Malema’s unapologetic stance and the EFF’s declaration of “Victory is Certain” escalated the controversy, deepening divisions over the issue. Joel B. Pollak hailed Trump’s confrontation as a pivotal moment, forcing global attention on South Africa’s crime and racial tensions, which he contrasted with Nelson Mandela’s 1994 vision of unity, arguing it was the most significant event for the country since apartheid’s end.
Trump’s fearless approach receied praise for cutting through diplomatic niceties to expose a critical issue, as his unyielding focus on the plight of Afrikaner farmers brought a long-simmering crisis into the open, demanding accountability from South Africa’s leadership. By challenging Ramaphosa directly, Trump not only amplified the voices of those affected but also positioned himself as a global leader unafraid to tackle tough issues, potentially paving the way for meaningful action. His stance, while straining U.S.-South Africa ties, signals a refreshing commitment to addressing injustices head-on, regardless of political cost.
President Trump speaks as he hosts the 2025 NCAA Champion, University of Florida men's basketball team in the East Room of the White House, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, in Washington.
🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟
🏛️ The Pentagon, under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accepted a Boeing 747 from Qatar on Wednesday, to serve as President Trump’s new Air Force One. The jet, valued at $400 million, requires significant security upgrades, potentially costing hundreds of millions, before it can be used. The decision has sparked bipartisan concerns over ethical and security implications due to the gift’s origin from a foreign government.
🌐 The Trump administration has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to block court orders requiring the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, to release operational documents to a watchdog group. The Justice Department argues whether DOGE qualifies as a federal agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act. This legal move, filed on Wednesday, underscores Trump’s push to protect his government restructuring initiative.
⚠️ Former Defense Secretary William Cohen warned that Israel should not strike Iranian nuclear facilities without President Trump’s support, citing risks to American personnel in the region. Cohen emphasized U.S. aid to Israel, including the Iron Dome and Arrow systems, as a reason for Israel to avoid unilateral actions. Such a strike could escalate into a broader regional conflict, endangering U.S. allies and interests.
📺 On Wednesday’s episode of Megyn Kelly’s podcast, CNN’s Jake Tapper apologized to Lara Trump for comments made during a broadcast, acknowledging her correctness on a Biden’s cognitive decline. He clarified that his remarks were part of a broader discussion about inflammatory rhetoric from multiple sides. The apology followed a segment where Tapper addressed the context of political discourse, aiming to correct the record.
🏀 President Trump welcomed the University of Florida Gators men’s basketball team to the White House on Wednesday to honor their 2025 NCAA Championship victory. He praised the team’s resilience, noting their third national title in program history, a feat unmatched by any other Division One school in both basketball and football. Trump humorously remarked on the players’ height, comparing them to his 6’9” son, and declared, “Go Gators!”
