Earlier this month, India's Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, asked our Administration — How can you have Elections in the U.S. without a valid Photo ID? India's last Election had 646,000,000 Voters! Less than 1% voted by mail, and every single Voter had to have a VALID Photo Identity Document. We need to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, now!

Effective August 1st, 2026, all Generic Drugs being brought into the United States will continue to have a TARIFF of ZERO PERCENT for a two year period of time, after which the TARIFF will be raised to 100% for a one year period of time, and 200% thereafter. This is done in order to RESHORE Generic Pharmaceutical Production into America, with a penalty to those Companies that decide not to build Plant and Equipment within the stated period of time given to them. The objective of this Policy is to protect the people of the United States. The Policy on Patented, Branded, or Innovative Drugs, which has been so successful, will remain as is. Pharmaceutical Facilities are being built, at a level never seen before, all over the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to hold off on our planned Military attack of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was scheduled for tomorrow, in that serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyond. This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN! Based on my respect for the above mentioned Leaders, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel Caine, and The United States Military, that we will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow, but have further instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment's notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
The South Carolina State Senate has a big vote tomorrow on Redistricting. I’m watching closely, along with all Republicans across the Country who are counting on their Elected Leaders to use every Legal and Constitutional authority they have to stop the Radical Left Democrats from destroying our Country, including leveling the playing field against their decades of egregious Gerrymandering and Census Rigging. South Carolina Republicans: BE BOLD AND COURAGEOUS, just like the Republicans of the Great State of Tennessee were last week! Move the U.S. House Primaries to August, leave the rest on the same schedule. Everything will be fine. GET IT DONE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP:
Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other. President DONALD J. TRUMP

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks: "The Border Patrol morale is going through the roof. We've had the handcuffs taken off. We're allowed to actually do our job which is to go out and enforce the law...Recruiting is looking great. We're seeing some of our highest numbers everâ¦â
Video transcript
- Look, I can tell you right now, the Border Patrol morale is going through the roof. We've had the handcuffs taken off. We're allowed to actually do our job, which is go out and enforce the law. Under this administration, they have literally taken the handcuffs off and allowed us to enforce law instead of policies that were created to contradict the law. And so our morale has continued to rise. I met you out in the field today. I was over on Rio Grande yesterday, outstanding morale in El Paso today, visiting with troops out here and the agents, and the morale is just through the roof. - And how's recruiting? - Recruiting's looking great. We're seeing some of our highest numbers ever. Really excited about that because as you know, during the previous four years under the Biden administration, we saw a mass exodus from the Border Patrol and we saw some of our lowest recruiting numbers. We're seeing the opposite. We're seeing agents pull retirement paperwork in order to continue staying in and serve, and we're seeing our recruiting numbers go through the roof. And so, and from the clip you showed earlier, Dana, that I wanna really, really drive it home. That very area that you were talking about in Eagle Pass was seeing an average of three to 4,000 a day. Right now, Eagle Pass, Texas, is seeing an average of 18 apprehensions a day and very few getaways, little to none. Some days, zero gotaways. You can't paint a better picture on the level of security we have on this border. It's making our border safer. It's making our community safer. One of the pictures you showed is a park, in Eagle Pass, Texas, called Shelby Park. That park's been returned to the citizens of Eagle Pass. They can now go out there and golf. They can enjoy their park. That's been returned to the rightful owners of that park because we've been able to make it safe and secure by reducing the total number of aliens riding around.

Everyone knows that Harvard has âlost its way.â They hired, from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), at ridiculously high salaries/fees, two of the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to âteachâ municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and âbirdbrainsâ who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called âfuture leaders.â Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress. When it got so bad that they just couldnât take it anymore, they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT. Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place. Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the Worldâs Great Universities or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Pam Bondi, Attorney General: âAmerica is safer today because one of the top domestic terrorists in MS-13, he is off the streets. This has been an ongoing directive of President Trump. His directive to me when I became Attorney General of the United States was very simple: Keep America safe!"
Video transcript
America is safer today because of one of the top domestic terrorists in MS-13. He is off the streets. This has been an ongoing directive of President Trump. His directive to me, when I became Attorney General of the United States, was very simple. Keep America safe. Make America safe again. And that's what these men and women have been doing tirelessly every single day since Donald Trump took office. We want to make our streets safer. We want to make our schools safer. We want to make your neighborhoods safer. This guy was living in a neighborhood right around you, no longer, thanks to the great men and women of law enforcement.

WELCOME TO THE OVAL OFFICEðºð¸
Video transcript
So here's a question I ask. So Reagan has a place of prominence and George Washington is a place of prominence, and I've asked this question maybe 200 times people come in. I said, "So who would you put in the place of prominence, George Washington or Ronald Reagan? Who would you put?" Washington. So far it's 219-0, and they like Reagan. Oh, I love Reagan. Here's what they like more than anything. So this is the Declaration of Independence. Wow. And they ask that this be done. It's never been up. It's been in the vaults for many, many decades, and they said we have to do something like drapes or something because the light eventually affects it. And it's very cool. Oh my gosh. Isn't that great? Just went up yesterday. Wow. Think Joe Biden would do this? I don't think so. Do you think he'd think of it? Do you think he knows what it is? No, but look at it. So, but this was none of these pictures were, you know, very few. It's like very little. And it's been, it's been great. Now there was a lot made on another network about you're bringing in the gold accents to trumpify the Oval Office. They needed a little light. So you have the mantle and you have the cherubs from, is that from Mar-a-Lago? Yeah, that's actually their gold, all gold. Look. And you know, it's angels. They say angels bring good luck, and we need a lot of luck in this country with what they've done over the last four years. So take a look. Do you know that the little secret, I don't know if you're going to waste your time putting this on, but throughout the years, people have tried to come up with a gold paint that would look like gold. And they've never been able to do it. You've never been able to look at that. Look, you've never been able to match gold with gold paint. That's why it's gold. And this is very important. Very proud of this Gulf of America. And in fact, Elon said to me, you know, we're landing in the Gulf of America. And he said it naturally. He said it so routinely. He said, yeah, the capsule, you know, is landing in the Gulf of America. So I called Elon. Where is it dropping down? He said Gulf of America. How cool is that, right? What do you think all these presidents would think right now? I think they'd be proud of our country. I think a year ago, they would have been disgraced by our country. And I think today they're proud of our country. This is the Resolute Desk, by the way. I had that just redone by an unbelievable group. They do only the White House furniture. They do only very special. This is the Resolute Desk. Many great presidents sat behind that desk and many didn't. I mean, you know, they have seven. When you're president, they give you a choice of seven desks. This is the one. Why? Why did you want this? Just like I like the history. You had Reagan, you had Kennedy. That was the famous one with John John, who I knew very well. And he was a friend of mine. He was a great guy. He would have been maybe president someday. He would have been a real chance to be president. He was going to get into politics. He was actually a great guy. John John. But remember when he was a young boy, the picture of him at the bottom of the desk. Where's the Coke button? It's right here. Everyone thinks that's the nuclear. Everyone thinks that's the nuclear weapon. They think it's a nuclear weapon. They say, if I press this, it's the end of the world. And then there's like 50,000. And the business seems to work out. 50 to 50,000. Doesn't that look beautiful over there? But to me, you know, it looks beautiful. The Gulf of America. Look at that. Which one's better? I'm not taking the declaration of independence. I think so. Isn't that cool?

Major League Baseball didn’t have the courage or decency to put the late, great, Pete Rose, also known as “Charlie Hustle,” into the Baseball Hall of fame. Now he is dead, will never experience the thrill of being selected, even though he was a FAR BETTER PLAYER than most of those who made it, and can only be named posthumously. WHAT A SHAME! Anyway, over the next few weeks I will be signing a complete PARDON of Pete Rose, who shouldn’t have been gambling on baseball, but only bet on HIS TEAM WINNING. He never betted against himself, or the other team. He had the most hits, by far, in baseball history, and won more games than anyone in sports history. Baseball, which is dying all over the place, should get off its fat, lazy ass, and elect Pete Rose, even though far too late, into the Baseball Hall of Fame!
“President Trump made a promise to the American people that he's going to make their communities safer—For those sanctuary cities that want to push back and impede us, we'll double the man force there. We'll double worksite enforcement there…”
Video transcript
You're exactly right, Lawrence, look, I've been around the country doing, you know, many operations in the community, whether they see at the airport, whether they see at the restaurant or out doing the operation. I can't tell you how many members of the community come up and thank us for being there. You know, President Trump made a promise to American people when he got elected that he's going to make our community safer, especially from illegal, alien, violent crime. That's exactly what we're doing. And we're doing it across the nation. As far as the politicians who want to push back and attack the men and women with ICE and myself, I'm not running a popularity contest. I'm out there doing what the President promised American people were going to do, rather enforcing the law without apology. We're going to keep coming. You can put all the roadblocks you want up. We're going to keep coming. For these sanctuary cities who want to push back and impede us, we'll double the man force there. We'll double work site enforcement there. We're not going away. We're going to keep coming at them until every criminal, illegal, alien, gang member, every illegal, alien, criminal is eradicated from this country. That's when I'll be satisfied.

The special counsel's report tries to let Biden off by claiming that he is too mentally incompetent to convict at a trial, but if Joe Biden is not fit to charge, they're not gonna charge him with a crime, but it's okay for him to become commander-in-chief, think of that one, thank you that one.

Mitt Romney, a total loser that only a mother could love, just wrote a book which is, much like him, boring, horrible, and totally predictable. I am very proud to be the one who forced this Left Leaning RINO out of politics. He wanted to run sooo badly, but knew he couldn’t win in the great State of Utah without my Endorsement and Support, so he QUIT. His crummy book says nothing good about anybody, other than RINO Paul RINO, who may be worse, and even dumber, than Mitt himself. Does he mention his late night dinner with me at Trump International Hotel when he begged to be Secretary of State, then giving GLOWING COMMENTS about DJT at a follow up News Conference? I didn’t give him the job, NOR DID I EVER INTEND TO. I JUST WANTED TO PROVE A POINT, THAT MITT ROMNEY IS, & ALWAYS HAS BEEN, A LIGHTWEIGHT JOKE!
