President Donald Trump has shown that with the appropriate political will, presidents can secure the border without help from Congress.

President Trump's claim that a peace deal with Iran will bring down inflation is unlikely, as the war's inflationary effects will persist for months after any peace agreement, and prices will only drift down like a feather.
Comedian Bill Maher urged Americans not to boycott July 4 because of President Trump, saying no political side “owns being psyched about the country” ahead of the U.S.'s 250th anniversary.

In 2016, the entrenched Democratic leadership wanted Hillary Clinton over Sanders. Got her. In 2020, they wanted Joe Biden over Sanders. Got him. In 2024, they wanted Biden and then eventually Kamala Harris over Kennedy. What will happen to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez if she runs in 2028?
President Trump is digging in on his criticism of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, repeating his accusation that she “begged” him for a photo at the Group of Seven (G7) summit earlier this week.
