šŗšø Trump on Meet The Press
Happy Monday, Patriot!
President Trump just sat down with Meet the Press to defend his bold agenda and set the record straight on the economy, the border, and the Constitution.
š On the economy:
With GDP slipping 0.3% in Q1, Trump called it part of the planānot a setback:
āThis is a transition period. I think weāre going to do fantastically.ā
āThey donāt need to have 30 dolls. They can have three... 250 pencils? They can have five.ā
āGasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller.ā
š On the border:
With crossings down, Trump said the new focus is on deportation:
āThe border now is not the emergency. The big emergency right now is that we have thousands of people that we want to take out.ā
He made clear:
āWe have a massive emergency overall.ā
š On constitutional limits:
Asked about seeking a third term, Trump responded:
āSo many people want me to do it... I donāt know if thatās constitutional... But this is not something Iām looking to do.ā
The bottom line? Trumpās pushing forward, no apologies, no detours.
The course is setāand the comeback is on.

ā TRACKING TRUMPā
Curated by Mike Luso
Hey Team! š
Trump is back in action, unafraid and unapologetic - reopening Alcatraz, slapping tariffs on Hollywood, and standing firm against left-wing attacks. With a bold appearance on Meet the Press on Sunday, he is letting Americans know how he plans on putting our country back on track.
Hereās a true leader who doesnāt pander to political correctness, who is making the tough calls to secure our borders and revive American industry.
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
šļø Trump Reopens Alcatraz
President Trump ordered federal agencies to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz Island as a high-security prison for āAmericaās most ruthless and violent offenders,ā declaring in his Truth Social post, āREBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!ā. He argued that the islandās isolation makes it the ideal deterrent against repeat offenders who āspread filth, bloodshed, and mayhemā on U.S. streets. The plan calls for a substantially enlarged facility under Department of Justice and DHS oversight, and is billed as a symbol of renewed āLaw, Order, and Justiceā.
š¬ 100% Tariffs on Foreign Films
In a surprise move, Trump slapped a 100% tariff on every movie and TV show produced outside the U.S., proclaiming, āWe want movies made America againā to protect domestic studios and secure jobs for American filmmakers. He warned that Hollywoodās reliance on foreign content āundermines our culture and our workers,ā promising to negotiate exemptions only for co-productions that guarantee U.S. crew participation. Domestic studios cheered the action as long overdue, while critics argue audiences will face higher streaming costs without broader market competition.
š Trump Wants Canada & Greenland
Trump told reporters heās strengthened trade talks with Canada - insisting that āweāll make a deal fast, or we might just take itā - while also warning that military force on Greenland remains āon the tableā if negotiations falter. He framed the remarks as leverage: āWhen others drag their feet, America must stand ready to act,ā he said . Canadian officials offered guarded optimism about a new energy-sector pact, but dismissed any serious risk of forced acquisition.
š« Trump Offers U.S. Troops Against Cartels
Seeking to curb violent cross-border crime, Trump offered U.S. military assistance to Mexico in its fight against drug cartels, proposing joint operations and intelligence sharing. Mexican President Sheinbaum politely declined, asserting that sovereignty precludes foreign troop presence, but expressed interest in enhanced U.S. support for law-enforcement training. Trump vowed to continue pressuring Mexico to act, calling cartel violence āan assault on our homelandā that demands an uncompromising response.

On Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, President Trump said the United States economy is in a 'transition period', but he expects it to do 'fantastically' despite economic turmoil sparked by his tariffs
š Trumpās Meet the Press Showdwnš
President Trump faced off on NBCās Meet the Press, opening with a firm rejection of speculation about a third term: āFour years is plenty of time,ā he insisted, noting his focus remains on executing current priorities. Trump continued the interview with a confident tone, immediately sparring with host Kristen Welker over the premise of the interview itself.
When Welker asked whether upholding the Constitution is his duty, the President replied, āI donāt know. Iām not a lawyer,ā and insisting he leaves such legal judgments to his advisors. The unexpected admission went viral on social media, with clips of the exchange racking up millions of views and sparking heated debate over the presidentās constitutional understanding.
Welker then pivoted to the southern border, observing that crossings had reached record lows, and asked whether it āsounds goodā to report the border is āthe most secure itās ever been.ā Trump seized the moment, challenging critics to admit the success of his policies: āAfter being abused for years by an incompetent presidentā¦isnāt that a beautiful thing when you say itās the most secure itās ever been in the history of our country?ā
The conversation grew more pointed as Welker questioned his emergency declaration over the āborder crisisā and whether he planned to lift it. Trump insisted the order remains necessary to remove thousands of criminal aliens and push cases through judges āwho want everybody to go to court,ā making clear he had no intention of rescinding it.
When pressed on his successor, Trump praised Vice President Penceās work and acknowledged other rising GOP figures but said it was āfar too early to sayā who would carry the mantle after him.
The tariff debate offered another flashpoint. Welker cited analyses warning of higher consumer costs from 145 percent duties on Chinese imports, but Trump countered, āYou donāt know whether or not Chinaās gonna eat it,ā arguing that short-term price hikes are āa small price to payā for revitalized U.S. manufacturing.
Beyond the contentious exchanges, viewers homed in on lighter viral moments - Trumpās grandiose description of the Declaration of Independence as āa declaration of unity and love and respect,ā which left Moran momentarily speechless, and Trumpās claim that he selected Moran for the interview ābecause frankly, I never heard of youā. Clips of these quips flooded X with memes and reaction threads branding the night as one of Trumpās most memorable media performances to date.
Despite the clashes, Trump closed on an assertive note, thanking veterans in the audience and affirming that his America-First agenda āwill keep America safe, strong, and prosperous.ā The interviewās polarized reception - praised by conservative commentators as a display of unfiltered presidential force and decried by critics as chaotic - clearly demonstrates how Trump remains uniquely adept at commanding the national conversation.

Trump officials say the action is vital to uphold the rule of law and protect communities from criminal elements.
š Former Vice President Mike Pence received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his post-Jan. 6 actions, with the Kennedy family calling his stand āa testament to principle over politicsā. Pence used his acceptance to urge unity and renew civic trust, drawing both applause and dissent from partisan spectators. His speech emphasized that true courage demands sacrifice in defense of democracy.
šØ In his fiscal year 2026 budget, Trump zeroed out the National Endowment for the Arts, labeling it āan unnecessary federal tax on culture,ā and proposed redirecting those funds to state and local arts grants. He argued that private philanthropy and community support can better nurture artistic innovation. Opponents warn the move threatens artistic freedom and access to the arts nationwide.
š Latest DHS affidavits reveal Kilmar Ćbrego GarcĆaās direct involvement in multiple gang-related homicides, contradicting claims that he was merely a political refugee.

While critics decried it as sacrilegious, many supporters hailed the stunt as proof of Trumpās unapologetic boldness.
