President Trump

President Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order that would pressure banks not to discriminate against conservatives and crypto companies.

The Wall Street Journal reported the Trump administration is preparing an executive order that would direct bank regulators to investigate if financial institutions have violated the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, antitrust laws, or consumer financial protection laws. Institutions that may have violated those laws could be subject to monetary penalties or consent decrees.

Trump talks about how JPMorganChase and Bank of America discriminated against him:

“I believe they [Biden admin] told the banking regulators, 'Do everything you can to destroy Trump, ' and that's what they did. And guess what? I'm President. How did that happen?”

We should reject the racial victimhood spread by the BLM movement and some of its political cheerleaders

While Sir Keir Starmer sought to defend his friend Sir Sadiq Khan, Donald Trump was completely spot on with what he said in his golf resort in Scotland this week – the Mayor of London has failed miserably in terms of tackling the capital’s greatest challenges.

Khan’s failures are starkest in the area of knife crime – a scourge which has become part of everyday life in pockets of inner-city London. New research from the think tank Policy Exchange has revealed that knife crime in the capital increased by nearly 60 per cent in only three years between 2021 and 2024.

All-inclusive deals are designed to take the hassle out of a holiday, albeit at a price.

But while Ursula von der Leyen claimed her “15pc across-the-board, all-inclusive” trade agreement with Donald Trump was a bargain, everyone else in Europe was left feeling they’d been massively ripped off .

The president of the European Commission smiled through gritted teeth as she announced the deal, which was quickly criticised across the Continent by politicians, economists and business leaders alike.

European leaders have rounded on their ‘badly negotiated’ US trade deal which has left the bloc with worse terms than Britain – saying Donald Trump ‘ate von der Leyen for breakfast’.

It comes after the US president announced he had agreed ‘the biggest deal ever made’ between the US and the European Union following a meeting with European Commission chief Ursuala von der Leyen.

The agreement will subject the EU to 15per cent tariffs on most of its goods entering America.

President Trump waited for the lights to dim to show a politically charged film to visiting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. He sat patiently until Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy exploded after being lectured by Vice President JD Vance. And on Thursday, Trump confronted Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with a piece of paper he pulled out of his pocket, alleging construction cost overruns.

In each instance, TV cameras were rolling, providing coverage of Trump’s target squirming or arguing with the president of the United States.

His second administration is off to a very strong — and fast — start.

Over the course of four years’ banishment to America’s political wilderness while subjected to both a would-be assassin’s bullets and the humiliating and unprecedented spectacle of criminal prosecution by his political opponents, Donald Trump seems to have intuited a key life lesson: Time is of the essence. Carpe diem, seize the day. And so it has been. Like a thoroughbred bursting out of the Kentucky Derby starting gate, the second Trump administration has been racing full speed ahead ever since Trump was inaugurated once again as president of the United States. If the Derby is the “fastest two minutes in sports,” then this has surely been the fastest six months in modern presidential history.

We aren’t even six months into President Donald Trump’s second term, and so much has changed. The president himself gave us a bracing reminded of that on Tuesday, when he upbraided the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the woke leftist Gen. Mark Milley, for leaving behind billions of dollars’ worth of military hardware as the U.S. ignominiously cut and run from Afghanistan in August 2021.

The first six months of the Trump administration have not been kind to the experts and the degree-holding classes.

Almost daily during the tariff hysterias of March, we were told by university economists and most of the PhDs employed in investment and finance that the U.S. was headed toward a downward, if not recessionary, spiral.

Most economists lectured that trade deficits did not really matter. Or they insisted that the cures to reduce them were worse than the $1.1 trillion deficit itself.

They reminded us that free, rather than fair, trade alone ensured prosperity.

Republicans on Thursday notched the first major legislative victory of President Donald Trump’s second term, a mammoth tax and immigration agenda the GOP hopes will reshape the U.S. economy and unwind many of the Biden administration’s accomplishments.

The House, in a 218 to 214 vote, passed Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a $3.4 trillion measure to extend tax cuts from Trump’s first term and implement new campaign promises — such as eliminating income taxes on tips and overtime wages — while spending hundreds of billions of dollars on immigration enforcement and defense. It raises the country’s borrowing cap by $5 trillion, staving off a debt default that the Treasury was weeks away from breaching.

President Trump teased plans to “have a lot of fun” with “nut job” socialist Zohran Mamdani if he becomes mayor of the Big Apple — and called New Yorkers “crazy” for voting for him.

“I think we’re gonna have a lot of fun with him,” Trump told reporters on the White House South Lawn Tuesday, “because he has to go right through this building to get his money. Don’t worry, he’s not gonna run away with anything.”
