President Trump

The mainstream media have spent pretty much every moment since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president of the United States portraying him as an evil, cruel, empathy-free tyrant who couldn’t manage a kind word for anyone outside his own family. Joe Biden practically built his entire 2020 campaign on that same premise, insisting that the election came down to character, and that Trump simply didn’t have it.

Donald Trump has claimed he will be impeached if the Republicans lose the midterm elections in November.

The US president, campaigning in South Carolina, warned supporters that they would “lose everything” if Democrats took control of Congress for his final two years in office.

On Friday, Mr Trump described the potential outcome of the elections in unusually stark language as he faced the prospect of being unable to force through legislation or depend on a compliant Congress.

Donald Trump secretly swapped planes as he left a Nato summit in Turkey last month, as part of an elaborate ruse in response to a possible Iranian threat, US media report.

The US president boarded Air Force One in view of television cameras before being transported to a military aircraft with the help of a catering truck, the Washington Post said. Journalists and some White House staff on board did not know he had been smuggled out.

Diary entries released by a Republican senator in an attempt to damage Anthony Fauci also show the former top US government science adviser’s growing disillusionment with Donald Trump in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, branding the president “rambling”, “crazy”, “desperate”, “bumbling”, “incompetent”, “an idiot”, “a true embarrassment”, “totally nuts” and “truly an obnoxious adolescent”.

A “credible” Iranian threat to Air Force One forced Donald Trump to switch planes when returning from the Nato summit in Ankara earlier in July.

The president was set to fly back to the US on the new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8, which had brought him to the Turkish capital.

However at the last minute Mr Trump was forced to use his original Air Force One jet, rather than the lavish new aircraft.

Donald Trump has refiled a defamation lawsuit seeking at least $10bn in damages against the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, after a judge threw out an earlier version over legal deficiencies.

The lawsuit is one of several the US president has brought in his personal capacity against news organisations and is part of what critics say is a wider pressure campaign against the media.

President Donald Trump shared an artificial intelligence-generated video of him assaulting Stephen Colbert and throwing him into a dumpster to celebrate the comedian’s final show.

The feud between the Republican and the late-night host has long been documented, and it appears the president is nailing the coffin – or rather the dumpster – closed.
