White House Confirms Trump Diagnosis

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump, whose schedule in the Oval Office and out has been perceived as grueling, has yet to have a slow day on the job, apparently.

But he is 79 years old.

And on Friday the White House confirmed he had been diagnosed with “chronic venous insufficiency,” a condition described as a “benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”

The announcement said, “Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.”

The Washington Examiner said the condition is characterized by a diminished blood recirculation.

Photographs of the president recently have suggested a swelling in the lower part of his legs, as well as bruising on the back of his right hand.

Trump Threatens Lawsuit Against WSJ Over Alleged Epstein Letter

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump has threatened to sue The Wall Street Journal, News Corp and Robert Murdoch after the outlet released a piece alleging that the president sent deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein a suggestive letter.

The WSJ reportedly obtained birthday letters to Epstein prior to his first arrest in 2018, alleging the president had sent a letter containing the “outline of a naked woman.” In response to the outlet’s allegations, Trump denied the letter, calling it a “fake thing.”

“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” Trump told The WSJ. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”

“I’m gonna sue The WSJ just like I sued everyone else,” Trump added.

The outlet allegedly reviewed a letter bearing Trump’s name, describing it as “bawdy,” with “several lines of typewritten text.” The text reportedly formed the outline of “a naked woman,” which appeared to be “hand-drawn with a heavy marker.”

Donald Trump Calls to Release ‘All Pertinent Grand Jury Testimony’ in Jeffrey Epstein Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump called to release “all pertinent grand jury testimony” relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case in the wake of increased scrutiny over the convicted sex offender’s dealings with high-profile public figures.

Writing on his TruthSocial account, the president called the Epstein controversy a “scam” perpetuated by Democrats.

“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by Democrats, should end, right now!” he wrote.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said in response, “President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.”

On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) claimed the existence of a letter allegedly bearing the president’s name, dated 2003, described as featuring “several lines of typewritten text surrounded by the outline of a naked woman, sketched in marker,” per Newsweek.

The illustration also includes two small arcs representing breasts, with Trump’s signature written below the waist and resembling pubic hair, the report said.

The letter reportedly concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Medical Center ‘Pauses’ Transgender Treatment for Minors after Trump’s Executive Order

/0 Comments/in , /by

Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center has “paused” sex-change treatment for minors following President Donald Trump’s executive order prohibiting federal research funding from going to institutions that offer hormone therapy, puberty blockers and sex-change surgery to children.

Spokesman Tobin Klinger said the hospital system will still offer such procedures to adults, but will stop so-called “gender affirming care” to new patients under the age of 18, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

“Rush continues to be a strong advocate for the LGBTQ+ community,” Klinger stated, adding that Rush will refer minors seeking transgender procedures to other hospitals.

The center had not done a “gender-affirming” surgery on a minor since 2023, but will now stop providing hormones and puberty blockers to new patients, the outlet reported.

Asher McMaher, executive director of Trans Up Front, said current transgender pediatric patients at Rush will still be able to continue.

Joe Rogan Reveals What Changed His Mind about Interviewing Donald Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Podcaster Joe Rogan spoke candidly about how a series of political revelations persuaded him to interview then-candidate Donald Trump in the 11th hour of the 2024 election.

The 2024 presidential election was dubbed by some to be the “podcast election,” as many suggested that Trump’s appearances on numerous podcasts popular with young men swayed the outcome. The biggest example of all was Trump’s interview on the “Joe Rogan Experience” in late October, which currently has 59 million views.

In a newly released interview conducted earlier this year, “Ultimate Human” podcast host Gary Brecka noted how Rogan was initially hesitant to interview Trump on his show, and asked him what eventually changed his mind.

“Well, there was a bunch of things that happened,” Rogan said. “First of all, there was the lawfare. There was these lawsuits that they were trying to pin on him. They were trying to convict him and turn him into a felon, and they were doing it so blatantly and obviously. The case with the bookkeeping error or the bookkeeping, whatever it was. The misdemeanor that they had charged him with 34 felonies for, which isn’t even a felony. It’s a misdemeanor, and it’s also past the statute of limitations. None of it made any sense. And people were cheering it on. ‘He’s a convicted felon.’”

“Hey, they can do that to you. Do you understand that?,” Rogan warned. “If they can do that to a former president, a former f—ing president who’s rich as s—, they can do that to him, they can do that to you, too. You can’t cheer this on. This is insane.” (Read more from “Joe Rogan Reveals What Changed His Mind about Interviewing Donald Trump” HERE)

Trump: ‘Jeffrey Epstein Hoax’ Is Left’s Latest Media Scam to Distract from My Success; Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump blasted what he called the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” in a fiery Truth Social message Wednesday. He accused the “Radical Left Democrats” of launching a new smear campaign against him, denounced former supporters who have bought into the Epstein narrative, and recalled a long list of past “hoaxes” pushed by the Left and the corporate media.

In the post, President Trump likened the Epstein narrative to a string of previous Democrat-driven “scams and hoaxes.”

“The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again!” Trump wrote. “Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, the Laptop from Hell… and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself… these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at.”

Trump said Democrats, “no good at governing” and “no good at picking winning candidates,” have resorted to “strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems” to push the “Epstein Hoax” and distract from his “incredible and unprecedented success.”

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” Trump continued. “My PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson… I don’t want their support anymore!” (Read more from “Trump: ‘Jeffrey Epstein Hoax’ Is Left’s Latest Media Scam to Distract from My Success” HERE)

Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Jeffrey Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!’

By NBC News. President Donald Trump on Wednesday disowned his supporters who have called for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, chiding them as “weaklings” who “bought into this bulls—.”

The lengthy post on Truth Social represents the clearest split from the faction of his MAGA base that has questioned the Justice Department’s handling of the case.

My “PAST supporters have bought into this “bulls—” hook, line, and sinker,” he said in the post, adding, “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”

This month, the Justice Department published a memo determining that there was no evidence of an “incriminating ‘client list,’” prompting renewed consternation in MAGA world. (Read more from “Trump Disavows Supporters Pushing Jeffrey Epstein ‘Bulls—’: ‘I Don’t Want Their Support Anymore!'” HERE)

‘Done With His Bullsh*t’: Key 2024 Trump Backers Totally Alienated By Epstein Debacle

/9 Comments/in , /by

Conservative-friendly independent podcasters — whom many Democrats blame for helping President Donald Trump win in 2024 — appear to be turning on him, largely over his Department of Justice’s (DOJ) handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The DOJ and FBI concluded that the convicted pedophile and longtime Democratic financier did not kill himself and had not kept an official client list, according to a leaked memo obtained by Axios on July 6.

Trump’s MAGA base immediately revolted, with several of the movement’s most prominent voices openly condemning the DOJ’s findings.

But another bloc — less reflexively loyal yet arguably more critical to his November win — also expressed disapproval.

Comedian Andrew Schulz, who faced a swell of backlash for hosting Trump on his “FLAGRANT” podcast in October, criticized the president over the Epstein revelations, among other issues. (Read more from “‘Done With His Bullsh*t’: Key 2024 Trump Backers Totally Alienated By Epstein Debacle” HERE)

Trump: Indonesia Agrees to Pay 19 Percent Tariff, Open up Market to U.S. In Trade Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump revealed some details of his trade deal with Indonesia on Tuesday while speaking with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House.

According to the president, Indonesia has agreed to a 19 percent tariff on its imported goods into the United States, while the United States will not pay any tariffs in the Indonesian market and will have “full access” to it.

“I spoke to their really great president, very popular, very strong, smart, and we made the deal. We have full access to Indonesia, everything. As you know, Indonesia is very strong on copper, but we have full access to everything,” Trump said, also going on to highlight “valuable earths” in the country.

“We will pay no tariffs. So they are giving us access into Indonesia, which we never had. That’s probably the biggest part of the deal. And the other part is they are going to pay 19 percent, and we are going to pay nothing,” he added.

Inside Dan Bongino’s Tense Meeting with White House Officials over Jeffrey Epstein Fallout

/1 Comment/in , , /by

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino was outraged this week during a closed-door White House meeting about the Department of Justice’s review of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking case files, according to multiple sources.

Bongino raised his voice during a discussion with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles before storming out of the meeting, according to two sources close to DOJ leadership. Bongino also exchanged heated words with Attorney General Pam Bondi during the meeting, and the whole ordeal has led him to consider resigning from the FBI, another source said.

Another person with knowledge of the meeting disputed the characterization that Bongino yelled at Wiles or Bondi during the sitdown.

However, that person agreed that Bongino was “enraged.” The source said the deputy director was angry about the Epstein memo rollout and what he viewed as Bondi’s “lack of transparency from the start.” The memo, a joint product of the DOJ and FBI, said the two agencies had no further information to share with the public about Epstein’s case, a revelation that sparked fury among the MAGA base. The memo first appeared in Axios over the weekend, and then the DOJ and FBI published it Monday.

Asked about the claim that Bongino yelled at Wiles, a White House official said it was “100% false.” Wiles is a veteran of Florida politics who led Trump’s campaign, and the president has described her as “universally admired.” (Read more from “Inside Dan Bongino’s Tense Meeting with White House Officials over Jeffrey Epstein Fallout” HERE)

Donald Trump: ‘I Guarantee’ Biden Didn’t Know What He Was Signing with the Autopen

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump asserted Monday that former President Joe Biden was unaware of what his autopen signature was being used for after Biden admitted he did not individually review many of the sweeping pardons doled out at the end of his term.

Though Biden did not individually sign off on the names in the batches of categorical pardons, a New York Times report claims “he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence,” and his team ran a final list of convicts through the autopen:

Mr. Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed. Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence.

Even after Mr. Biden made that decision, one former aide said, the Bureau of Prisons kept providing additional information about specific inmates, resulting in small changes to the list. Rather than ask Mr. Biden to keep signing revised versions, his staff waited and then ran the final version through the autopen, which they saw as a routine procedure, the aide said.
