At a White House ceremony honoring Purple Heart recipients, former President Donald Trump accepted medals from several veterans and, while acknowledging their sacrifices, remarked that his own experience with a failed assassination attempt was “not easy” either. The former president mentioned the three veterans by name and recounted how they gifted him their Purple Hearts, referencing his own minor injury sustained during the incident. This remark was met with criticism given Trump’s draft-dodging history. This marks another instance of Trump receiving medals without demonstrating any service, including recently being given a set of Olympic medals during a White House event.

This instance follows a similar event from the previous week where Trump was unable to locate a Congressman standing beside him while signing a bill.

President Trump’s invitation of former NFL player Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender, to the White House for an executive order signing has ignited controversy. Taylor, who has a history of sexual misconduct charges involving a minor, joined Trump to become a formal member of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. This event has drawn criticism, particularly given Trump’s ongoing association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the resulting scrutiny of his connections.

AP wins reinstatement to White House events after a judge ruled the government couldn’t bar its journalists, and it’s great to see the wheels of justice turning, especially when the First Amendment is upheld. It’s refreshing to see a judge, even one appointed by a former president, acknowledging the importance of a free press. It’s a fundamental right, and it’s pretty much essential to a functioning democracy. It’s also quite interesting that this decision comes from a judge appointed by the very individual who had a history of, let’s say, strained relationships with the media.
The ruling, as I understand it, directly addresses the government’s ability to exclude journalists from White House events.… Continue reading
White House officials are concerned about losing support from Trump’s MAGA base due to the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, which has led to low approval ratings among MAGA Republicans.
