Trump’s USA

The President’s Team
Trump: “I was just joking when I offered White a job here”

Donald Trump says he was “just joking” when he offered UFC boss Dana White the job of press secretary, reports The New York Times.

“Dana loves the idea, and there’s only one Dana. People wouldn’t mess with him,” says the U.S. President.

Many raised their eyebrows when Trump wrote on Truth Social this past Saturday that White had been offered the position, following the departure of Katie Zacharia from the new role after only a few days. The President described White as “a tough fighter and warrior.”

“Please take the job, Dana!” the post reads.

According to CNN sources, White has turned down the job offer.

The Capitol Riot
Biden: Trump should take the Capitol riot “to the grave”

Former President Joe Biden believes that Donald Trump’s lies regarding election fraud in 2020, and his actions surrounding the January 6th Capitol riot, should “follow him to the grave.” This is according to his memoirs, *Promise Me, America*—which cover his time in the White House—as reported by the AP.

He writes that Trump’s goal was to remain in power, despite the election result in which Biden emerged victorious.

“Donald Trump led an insurrection. The rioters were not ‘peaceful protesters’ (...) They arrived armed to stop the formal certification of a legitimate election.”

He is also critical of Trump’s decision to “tear down institutions and fuel hatred.” 

The War with Iran
Analysis: Iran likely believes time is on its side following the war


The Republicans’ broad defeat in the midterm elections creates several major problems for Donald Trump’s war against Iran. According to David E. Sanger and Eric Schmitt of The New York Times, it is not even certain that the President can secure funding for continued hostilities once the Democrats take control of Congress.

In Iran, the assessment is likely that time is on their side. This, in turn, could pressure Trump to renew the attacks.

CNN’s Stephen Collinson writes that the Democrats will likely begin their campaign by attempting to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

This, too, could cause the President to lash out, Collinson suggests—pointing, for instance, to threats to have the Department of Justice launch criminal investigations into his critics.

“In the days immediately following the midterm elections, Trump seemed subdued. Now, it is clear that he is ready for a fight.”

The Future of the Republican Party
Minority Leader seeks to impeach Hegseth

Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic Minority Leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, has given a clear “yes” to the prospect of impeaching Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. He stated this in an interview with ABC News.

Jeffries asserts that Hegseth has abused his power, undermined national security, and orchestrated the United States’ “expensive and reckless” war against Iran.

“Pete Hegseth has to go,” he says. 

The Future of the Republicans
Trump: The election was a “huge step backward” for the USA

In a post on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump promises to return stronger than ever following the midterm elections.

“The USA took a huge step backward in history with this election result,” Trump writes.

Trump also refers to the stock market, which he claims has been a “rocket” during his term. On Thursday, Wall Street plummeted by more than 4 percent, driven by concerns surrounding the AI ​​sector.

The Results in the US
Trump: Does anyone believe the election was conducted properly?

In a post on his own platform, Truth Social, President Donald Trump asks whether anyone believes that last week’s midterm elections were “conducted properly.”

“How could the opinion polls be so wrong? The sheer volume of early votes reported made it impossible to win, regardless of how many people actually went to vote. It’s all about the voting machines—they are far more important than the voters,” he writes.

The midterm elections proved to be a major setback for the Republicans, who are losing control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives to the Democrats. Despite this, Trump has maintained a conciliatory tone thus far.

The day after the election, the President told The New York Times that he “definitely” accepts the results and that the Democrats did a “good job.”
