President Donald Trump has said that he would refuse to forgive James Comey and Nancy Pelosi at the gates of heaven even if it meant he would be turned away by St Peter.

Trump, who describes himself as a ‘religious person,’ was asked about his ability to forgive his political enemies during a sit down with 60 Minutes host Ross Douthat.

BRUTAL HONESTY.

This might be one of the deepest introspections into President Trump’s mind ever recorded.

In just 90 seconds, Trump gave 60 Minutes viewers a rare glimpse into how he views his enemies.

Host Ross Douthat repeatedly tried to give the president an opportunity to say he could forgive his political enemies. Every time, Trump refused to pretend.

DOUTHAT: “All you have to do to enter paradise is feel love and forgiveness for James Comey, Nancy Pelosi, anyone who you have expressed hate for over the years. Do you think you can do it?”

TRUMP: “Then I wouldn’t be real, would I?”

“Sure the easy answer to that’s, oh yes, I could forgive.”

“I found them to be extremely dishonest people, very bad people, very bad for our country. I love our country far more than I can love people…and people like that.”

DOUTHAT: “Is the answer no then?”

TRUMP: “The answer is no. I want to be honest!”

DOUTHAT: “Before the judgement throne of God?”

TRUMP: “Before the judgement.”

Most people would have given the politically correct answer and said they could forgive.

Trump chose to tell the truth, even when it wasn’t the answer people wanted to hear.

As the dust settles on a stunning midterm election that saw Republicans take heavy losses in the U.S. Congress, former Canadian and American officials are unsure if the drubbing signals the end of U.S. President Donald Trump’s political era and MAGA movement.

“It all remains to be seen as to how the next two years go,” former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson said in an interview on Rosemary Barton Live. “I would expect the chaos to continue, and so that’s not good for the Trump legacy.”

Donald Trump set the stage for his administration to lurch further to the right this weekend, claiming the US had taken a “giant step back” by widely rejecting his party.

The US president’s hardline aide, Stephen Miller, will begin as White House chief of staff on Monday. He will also meet with Dana White, CEO and president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, after offering him the job of press secretary.

“America took a giant step back in History with the results of the last Election,” Trump claimed in a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday morning, citing the sharp sell-off in global markets, fueled a rout of US tech stocks. “But have no fear, we will be back, BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!”

I am an American. An 80-year-old American. Daughter and granddaughter of Italian immigrants.

My paternal grandmother was a wise but illiterate woman. She helped me understand that knowledge and wisdom are two different things.

My mother and my paternal grandparents came to America in search of freedom and opportunity. In their eagerness to assimilate, they found both. In only two generations, my family went from illiteracy to the doctorate. My father was the first college graduate in our family. I am the first Ph.D.

A prominent theme in The Counterrevolution, Victor Davis Hanson’s new book about the “fall and rise” of Donald Trump, is the unwitting role that Trump’s enemies played in his rehabilitation from 2022 to 2024. I sense that the public memory of the assault against Trump and his lieutenants is already beginning to fade. It is worth revisiting, especially in light of the likely reaction by the Left to its astonishing (astonishing to me, anyway) victory in the midterms.

There were essentially three parts to the assault.

In the wake of the November 3 midterm elections in which the Republican Party suffered major losses, the emboldened Democrats have already begun making it explicitly clear that their first order of business will be to target Donald Trump and his administration for retribution for perceived crimes, corruption, and abuses of the Constitution and the American people.

Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s most controversial aide and the architect of his sweeping immigration crackdown, will become his new White House chief of staff days after Republicans lost control of the US Congress in US midterm elections.

The president announced the extraordinary appointment on Friday, confirming that Susie Wiles – his current chief of staff, and the first woman to serve in the role – had been ousted.

In a social media ‌post, Trump called Miller, 41, “one of ​my most trusted advisors” and praised Wiles for doing “an ⁠outstanding job”. Miller will begin on Monday.

Volkswagen is considering making its first American pickup in 40 years. Nissan is promising more rugged SUVs. And Detroit is racing to maintain its high margins in the heartland.

The U.S. is emerging as the last true profit engine for the world’s carmakers—and the auto industry is scrambling to compete.

“My top three priorities are: U.S.A.,” Hyundai CEO José Muñoz said at a recent event, explaining why so many of the South Korean automaker’s new models are tailored for American drivers.

U.S., European and Asian automakers are all focused on making and selling cars in the U.S. because of Americans’ proclivity for large pickups and SUVs—vehicles with high profit margins—and their willingness to swallow record-high sticker prices. New car prices are hovering around $50,000, while roughly one-fifth of new-vehicle buyers have monthly car payments that top $1,000.
