They have drawn a great Judge, for them, a man who ruled in favor of Jim Acosta, who now seems to have disappeared from the Planet. The Judge’s name is Tim Kelly, and he was, sadly, appointed by “TRUMP.” In other words, almost without question and, as usual, we’ll go for appeal because Fake News people and publications that only write negatively, and who violate our National Security by writing false and defamatory stories with unknown “sources,” shouldn’t be allowed access to the most important Office anywhere in the World. It is called the Oval Office, and it should be treated with Decorum, Respect, and Dignity, not defiled by Third Rate Clowns, who purposefully distort, twist, and degrade with everything they write or publish. Virtually every story about me, or anything having to do with me, is negative, wrong and, in many cases, DANGEROUS for our Country! No matter how GREAT my Achievements, they trivialize and demean. The fact is, I won all seven Swing States, the Popular Vote, the Electoral College (312 to 226), and the Counties throughout America by 86%, and yet it is reported that I get 94% bad publicity. With such a Crooked and Corrupt Press, how did I win in such a LANDSLIDE? It is because the Media has NO credibility, and that is a very bad thing for our Nation! Why should I have to give “access” to such people? Perhaps Judge Kelly could explain that! In any event, I have an obligation to fight for the Success and Safety of our Country. FAKE NEWS IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, and I will do whatever is necessary to make sure that the U.S.A. thrives. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J.

LISTEN HERE 🔽EconomyTrump admin won't give AI leaders a 'liability shield,' Bessent tells CNBCEconomy.@SecScottBessent on his talks with Vice Premier He Lifeng yesterday in New York City: “I think what is important, in terms of framing the talks, is that it all stems from the leaders’ very good rapport and relationship. President Trump and Xi Jinping, at the personal level, have a very good relationship, and we try to bring that down to the working level… In our discussions yesterday, we talked about economics, we talked about AI... This is possible because of the leaders’ relationship. President Trump was in Beijing—I was there with him in May. Xi Jinping will be coming to Washington this week... I think that adds great stability to the relationship. The Chinese have a phrase, ‘implementing our leaders’ consensus,’ and they keep falling back on that. And that’s true. We follow the instructions, and then we get down into the details—and we spent about 12 hours yesterday doing that.”Economy.@SecRubio rings the opening bell at @NYSE to kick off the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week in New York.MarketsIranian President Pezeshkian to head to New York for UN meeting as Trump warns of no-deal consequencesForeign PolicyHad a great time last week speaking with small manufacturers at the Freedom 250 Supplier Matchmaking Expo. @SBAgov, @SBA_Kelly, and @POTUS are here to help make sure small manufacturers have a seat at the table.EconomyAmerica First Trade is delivering results: creating more jobs, attracting greenfield investment, and bringing critical industries back to U.S. soil.EconomyThe Trump Administration is creating more balanced trade with China to advance our economic interests and secure lasting benefits for American workers.Economy Kamala Harris launches into the 2026 midterms as her 2028 decision loomsSocialWATCH IN FULL: @SecScottBessent interview on @SquawkCNBCEconomy Trump's 'grand conspiracy' probe presses on with subpoenas after the lead prosecutor’s exitLegalUS and China discuss AI safety plan ahead of Trump-Xi summitForeign Policy
