Denmark responds to Trump naming Greenland envoy: ‘Completely unacceptable.’ Well, this is a mess, isn’t it? The appointment of a “Special Extortion Envoy” to Greenland by, let’s just say, a certain former US president, has really ruffled some feathers, and understandably so. The immediate reaction from Denmark seems to be a resounding “no,” and frankly, it’s hard to disagree. It’s not just a diplomatic faux pas; it strikes at the core of national sovereignty and the trust between allies.
The very idea of a US envoy to Greenland, especially one with a title implying some sort of special mission, is being met with significant resistance.… Continue reading
President Donald Trump made significant investments in corporate and government bonds, totaling at least $22.1 million and potentially reaching $65.3 million, according to a recent financial disclosure. The investments, made between late October and mid-November, include bonds from companies like Netflix, Oracle, and Amazon, as well as local government bonds from Wayne County, Michigan, and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. These purchases raise conflict of interest concerns given Trump’s potential influence over policies affecting these entities, including financial institutions and local governments, and they add to his already extensive bond holdings and other investments.

In a recent Truth Social post, Donald Trump labeled The New York Times a national security threat, citing their reporting as “lies and purposeful misrepresentations.” This accusation follows Trump’s long-standing criticism of the newspaper, stemming from articles detailing his reduced public appearances and his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump also expressed frustration over the Times’ coverage of his prescription drug price plan, which he falsely claimed had lowered drug costs by thousands of percent. This latest attack demonstrates a continuation of Trump’s animosity towards the publication, calling it a “fake newspaper.”

According to Dr. John Gartner, repeated cognitive tests and MRIs administered to Donald Trump suggest his doctors are monitoring the progression of a cognitive decline rather than initially assessing for dementia. Gartner’s assessment is based on the frequency of Trump’s cognitive assessments, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), along with the recent MRI. Trump’s bragging about acing the tests and his lack of knowledge about his recent MRI, combined with the White House’s denial of health issues, reinforces the impression that Trump’s cognitive status is under scrutiny. This monitoring is likely to measure the rate of his mental decline and identify any related strokes.

President Trump suggested terminating broadcast licenses for networks with predominantly negative coverage of him, the GOP, and late-night hosts. This statement followed a Truth Social post criticizing Stephen Colbert and questioning the quality and ratings of all late-night shows. This is not the first time Trump has considered revoking broadcast licenses, as he previously expressed similar sentiments. The FCC, which issues these licenses and is not a completely independent agency, has not commented on the matter, and the networks in question have remained silent.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh suggested President Donald Trump might utilize the Insurrection Act following the Supreme Court’s refusal to allow the deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago to support immigration enforcement. Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion clarified the ruling’s limited scope, suggesting the president could opt to use the U.S. military to protect federal property. This sparked discussion, with some Trump supporters advocating for invoking the Insurrection Act, which allows the president to deploy troops to suppress domestic violence. Legal experts such as William Banks have noted the act’s broad triggering language and that it constitutes an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Justice Department recently released 29,000 documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, including an FBI report from 2020 which documented a man’s claim that a woman said Donald Trump and Epstein had raped her. Additionally, an email from an assistant U.S. attorney revealed that Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet more frequently than previously reported, with his family also included on those flights. The released documents also contained a letter purportedly from Epstein to Larry Nassar, as well as an “after action review” of Epstein’s death and mentions of Steve Bannon. The Justice Department stated these claims were untrue but released the documents to honor transparency.
