As US Runs Low On Missiles, Trump Wants To License Production To Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite dwindling U.S. stockpiles, President Donald Trump said that he wants to give Ukraine a license to produce Patriot interceptor missiles during his visit to Turkey on Wednesday.

Trump made the comments about Patriot missile licensing while talking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during their televised meeting at the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey. Patriot missile interceptors are in short supply as they have been continuously used in the Russo-Ukrainian War and the Iran War, according to a report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

“A little birdie told me this, about the fact that we’ll give them [Ukraine] the right to make Patriots,” Trump said during his meeting with Zelenskyy. “We’ll show them how to do it. It’s very complex, actually … We’re gonna give a license to you to make Patriots. That’s pretty cool, right?”

“Demand for America’s Patriot missile has never been greater, reflecting its unmatched performance as the world’s most advanced, combat-proven integrated air and missile defense capability,” a Department of War official told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The Department of War remains committed to significantly accelerating and expanding Patriot production to meet this demand, and it continues to pursue industrial cooperation with allies and partners around the globe to seamlessly deliver this critical capability to the warfighter at speed and scale.”

“Today’s meeting sent several important strategic signals about Ukraine’s ongoing collaboration with our American partners. The readiness to cooperate on Patriot missile capabilities and move forward on drone deal reflects a shared understanding that our security cooperation is in the strategic interests of both countries,” Olga Stefanishyna, the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, told the DCNF. “Strengthen[ing] defense cooperation through joint production, and licensing will accelerate delivery of essential weapons to deter threats and maintain U.S. global leadership in defense technology. At the same time, it will free up U.S. defense capacity to backfill and modernize U.S. forces while meeting urgent foreign demand.” (Read more from “As US Runs Low On Missiles, Trump Wants To License Production To Ukraine” HERE)

He continued, “He called and said, ‘We’re all set for the Save America Act. He was pushing the Save America Act like crazy. Got back, said he just landed from Ukraine.”

‘I’ve Left Instructions’: Trump Reveals U.S. Response if Iran Kills Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Friday he has already given orders for how the United States should respond if Iran ever succeeds in assassinating him.

Speaking with the New York Post, Trump said he has long been aware that Tehran has targeted him. He revealed standing orders are already in place in case Iran succeeds in killing him.

“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” Trump said. “The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.”

When asked about reports claiming Israel recently shared intelligence about a new Iranian assassination plot, Trump said he was not aware of any new threat.

CNN reported that Israeli intelligence shared with the Trump administration indicated some Iranian officials within Iran’s leadership wanted Trump assassinated. According to the report, the intelligence suggested discussions and support for targeting the president rather than a specific, operational plot.

Israel Says New Intelligence Reveals Iranian Plot to Kill Trump

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Israel shared new intelligence with the U.S. Thursday that it said indicated a fresh Iranian plan to kill President Trump, a finding that would mark an escalation in the war between Washington and Iran. The report follows the latest round of attacks between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has been publicly pledging to assassinate Trump since the US killed Iranian IRGC Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani in 2020. Trump on Wednesday alluded to threats to his life when speaking to reporters in Ankara, Turkey:

“They want to take out the U.S. leader — me,” Trump said to reporters. “I’m on every list. I saw this morning [that] I’m on every single one of their [hit] lists. And so far, I guess I’ve been a little bit lucky.”

Earlier on Thursday, crowds in Mashhad, awaiting former supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s funeral cortege, chanted slogans demanding revenge on Trump for his death. “I swear by the blood of the Supreme Leader, Trump, we will kill you!” they shouted. They also held up signs saying “Kill Bibi” — the nickname of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Fox Host Calls Out Ivanka’s Husband in Bombshell Split; Suggests Establishment-Hack Rubio is Better

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Brian Kilmeade called on Donald Trump to remove Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff from the sputtered Iran negotiations, telling him bluntly: “We have a State Department for a reason.”

On The Five, Kilmeade reacted to the resumption of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran after a tenuous peace deal had been agreed to in June. On Wednesday, Trump said the deal, brought about in part through Kushner, his son-in-law through daughter Ivanka, and Witkoff, was “over.”

“I also don’t think that Witkoff and Kushner should be the ones doing this,” Kilmeade told the panel about the pair. “They’re business guys. They have not been effective in Ukraine, not been effective in Gaza. They have not been effective in this. They can’t have three portfolios to begin with. We have a State Department for a reason.”

Kilmeade added that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, 55, was better equipped for the task of bringing the war—which Trump and Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu began in late February—to an end.

“Marco Rubio—even Democrats admit—is looked at as a genius internationally,“ Kilmeade said. ”He is the guy that most people would want, even if you gave truth serum to Democrats. He should take the lead on this because you can’t do this like a business deal. You have to understand the history of the region and how distrustful the Iranians have been. They will only make a decision if they have no other choice.” (Read more from “Fox Host Calls Out Ivanka’s Husband in Bombshell Split” HERE)

Trump Moves To Legitimize Ex-Jihadist Leader’s Regime

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said that he would work to remove Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism on Wednesday during his meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the NATO summit in Turkey.

The State Department followed up on Trump’s comments at the NATO summit by posting a Wednesday press release formalizing Trump’s decision. Al-Sharaa’s movement, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), split from al-Qaeda in 2017, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies; however, the State Department revoked the group’s Foreign Terrorist Organization designation in 2025.

A senior Trump administration official confirmed the development with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The State Department could not provide a response before the publication deadline.

A reporter asked the president if he would remove Syria as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. (Read more from “Trump Moves To Legitimize Ex-Jihadist Leader’s Regime” HERE)

‘Nobody Can Be Like Us’: Trumps Praises America As ‘Glory’ Of The World, Condemns ‘Cancer’ Of Communism

/16 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump celebrated the nation’s 250th birthday Saturday night with a speech casting America as the envy of the world and warning that communism threatens its future.

Speaking to a crowd on the National Mall, Trump described the United States as a country no other could match. “For 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world, all over the world. They try and be like us. Nobody can be like us,” he said.

The president spent part of his remarks attacking the political left. “Communism is a loser, and it always will be,” Trump said. He compared the ideology to a disease that demands removal, calling it “like a cancer. You got to cut it out, you got to cut it out fast.”

The warning followed a run of primary victories by candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America, NewsNation reported. Trump did not name those candidates Saturday, though he has branded them communists before, according to Reuters.

Trump also revived his push for tighter voting rules. “We want to keep America great, and we will do so by approving the Save America Act,” he said. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register and identification to vote, but it has stalled in Congress. “You won’t have cheating on the elections anymore, it’s very simple,” Trump said.

Trump Signs 11 Pardons for Individuals ‘Persecuted’ by Biden Admin: ‘I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE’; President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon

/29 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Trump signed 11 pardons Friday, including one for the convicted former business partner of infamous lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a White House official told The Post.

Adam Kidan was sentenced to 70 months in prison in 2006 after pleading guilty to conspiracy and fraud charges related to his attempt, along with Abramoff, to purchase SunCruz Casinos for $147.5 million with a counterfeit wire transfer document.

Kidan, an entrepreneur, has since gone on to start multiple staffing companies and has become a major Republican donor.

The bulk of the pardons are for individuals convicted of tampering with emission control systems on cars and trucks, including by selling “defeat devices” and “tuners” to maximize the engine power, in violation of the Clean Air Act.

Trump had teased issuing six pardons to people convicted during the Biden administration for “fixing their car,” earlier Friday on Truth Social.

President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon

By TMZ. Donald Trump might be getting ready to break out the pardon pen again … and one name that’s apparently still floating around behind closed doors is Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Trump was expected to huddle with advisers Friday over a new batch of pardons … and CBS News reports Diddy remains one of several high-profile names POTUS has been privately considering.

One source told CBS … Diddy is not expected to be among the formal recommendations from the White House pardon team … though a White House official noted, “President Trump is the ultimate decider on any clemency related actions.”

The latest report lines up with what TMZ first told you back in October … when sources said Trump was “vacillating” on commuting Diddy’s sentence while some White House staffers were urging him not to. The White House Communications Office disputed our reporting at the time, but TMZ stood by the story. (Read more from “President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon” HERE)

DOJ Vows ‘Birth Tourism’ Crackdown after Supreme Court Rules Against Trump in Birthright Citizenship Case

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Justice Department on Tuesday pledged to crack down on so-called “birth tourism” after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and US visitors.

Colin McDonald, the DOJ’s assistant attorney general for fraud enforcement, directed federal prosecutors to “zealously protect the sanctity of United States citizenship by investigating and prosecuting those who fraudulently exploit our immigration system” by traveling to the country under “false pretenses” to give birth.

“The criminal laws of the United States already prohibit conduct inherent to so many of these so-called ‘birth tourism’ schemes,” McDonald, the administration’s “fraud czar,” wrote in a memo to DOJ employees. “For example, many such schemes start with a false visa application – with lies about the purpose or duration of one’s travel to the United States.”

McDonald included three examples of birth tourism schemes the DOJ has prosecuted in recent years.

In 2024, Michael Wei Yueh Liu and Jing Dong – a husband-and-wife team – were each sentenced to 41 months in prison after being accused of running a birth tourism business that catered to Chinese nationals. Their company – “USA Happy Baby” — charged clients tens of thousands of dollars and assisted them in fraudulently obtaining US visas, according to McDonald.

Trump Reports More than $1 Billion in Crypto Income — Plus Millions in New Foreign Deals

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump reported a financial windfall in annual disclosure documents, including more than $1 billion in cryptocurrency income and tens of millions from new foreign real estate deals since re-entering the White House.

Trump reaped a staggering $635 million from sales of his free-floating $Trump meme coin — launched three days before he took office last January — via his company CIC Digital LLC, according to his 2025 disclosures released Tuesday.

The documents list more than $236 million in additional income from selling the WLFI cryptocurrency tokens through World Liberty Financial, the company founded by Trump, special envoy Steve Witkoff and their sons in 2024.

The files list $65.6 million from a sale of equity in World Liberty — a likely reference to the reported sale of part of the company last January to companies associated with United Arab Emirates national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

Trump reported a further $205 million in proceeds from stablecoin investments, including sales of holdings in Stablecoin Holdco, which is associated with World Liberty and its issuance of the USD1 stablecoin.
