I’m sure it got no press but go to YouTube and check out the video President Trump posted on No Kings Day of himself wearing a crown, flying a fighter jet and dropping feces on protesters. Before Trump supporters laugh at these kinds of videos, maybe they could please try and imagine how they would feel [.].
As President Donald Trump continues to wield near-unchallenged influence over House Republicans, he’s reportedly joked behind the scenes about effectively holding the position of president and House speaker, two insiders revealed to The New York Times in its report Saturday.“I’m the speaker and the president,” Trump said jokingly, according to two insiders who spoke with the Times on the condition of anonymity. As of Saturday, the House has been in recess for 25 days, with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) refusing to reconvene the chamber until the Senate adopts a spending bill to fund the government and end the shutdown. The dispute centers on health care subsidies set to expire this year: Republicans have refused to extend them, while Democrats have resisted supporting any spending bill that omits an extension. Trump has voiced opposition to extending the subsidies to resolve the government shutdown, a position that Johnson has supported in refusing to budge on the issue, and despite growing divisions among Republican lawmakers on the issue. And it’s Johnson’s dedication to supporting Trump’s wishes, argued Times reporter Annie Karni in an analysis published Saturday, that could ultimately weaken the position of House speaker in years to come.“[Johnson’s] approach [is one] born of political expedience that could have far-reaching consequences for an institution that has already ceded much of its power to President Trump,” Karni wrote. “And Mr. Johnson, who without the president’s backing wields little influence over his own members, has chosen to make himself subservient to Mr. Trump, a break with many speakers of the past who sought in their own ways to act more as a governing partner with the president than as his underling. Mr. Johnson has done little in recent weeks to contest the point.”.
Trump’s Agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins, told FOX Business that the administration plans to lower the price of beef by making Americans eat more beef. US farmers have been increasingly critical of the Trump administration over many issues, including the rising costs of beef due to his tariffs. They are furious with their plans to import beef from Argentina. Brooke Rollins’ solution is to tell Americans to eat more beef to lower prices. ROLLINS: We’re implementing new programs to allow younger ranchers to get into the business with cheaper loans, better protection, et cetera. We are with Newton-Maha, with Bobby Kennedy, and putting protein, specifically beef, back at the center of the American diet from the government’s perspective. And when you think about what we spend every day on nutrition programs from the USDA, it’s 400 million a day, pivoting some of that to specifically locally grown and produced and healthy, the best beef in the world. There was a time when Michelle Obama tried to make school lunches healthier for children, and Republicans had a meltdown over it. Telling your voters to ‘stuff their faces with more hamburgers if they want lower prices’ is not a winning message.
The anti-tariff ad, which Trump pointed to in cutting off trade talks with Canada, uses several sound bytes from an April 1987 speech, though not in the order President Ronald Reagan said them.
