Only days after being appointed acting defense secretary, Christopher Miller announced the U.S. would reduce its troop numbers to 2,500 in both Afghanistan and Iraq by January 15. This was followed by national security adviser Robert O’Brien saying how Trump wanted “to put a stop to America’s endless wars.” While such a rapid withdrawal has sparked concern among Senate Republicans, such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said it would be a “mistake,” such a move could be a fitting end to the tenure of a president whose perceived belligerence has not extended to the battlefield....

According to the social media giant’s ad tracker, Trump has spent more in Texas, Iowa, Ohio and Nebraska as he aims to target more specific blocs of voters in states that could tip the election result. Through his Make America Great Again Committee, Trump’s team spent just over $195,000 in Texas last week, while Biden’s Victory Fund spent around $173,000 there. Both joint fundraising committees raise money for the individual campaigns and either the Democratic or Republican National Committees....

Donald Trump Jr. criticized Biden for his announced intention to raise taxes. The president’s son said Biden intended to take the money Americans were able to retain from the Trump administration’s tax cuts and “keep it in the swamp.” “That makes sense, though, because Joe Biden is basically the Loch Ness Monster of the Swamp,” Donald Trump Jr. continued. “For the past half-century, he’s been lurking around in there. He sticks his head up every now and then to run for president, then he disappears and doesn’t do much in between....

Trump Jr. sided with Kellyanne Conway after initially saying on SiriusXM’s Jim Norton & Sam Roberts show that he was not going to comment on the relationship that has left many onlookers baffled.

The son of the former president took aim at Biden in the video, which was initially posted on Rumble—a video site popular among some conservatives—on June 19, three days after the summit between Biden and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Geneva.

According to his 2017 tax return, Trump and his wife Melania sold stock in six companies in early 2017, including the tech giants Apple and Microsoft. As the charts below show, post-2017 both tech stocks rose sharply and peaked in 2021-22.

Trump was permanently banned from Twitter and indefinitely banned from Facebook after the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. While he hoped to regain access to his Facebook page, on Wednesday the company’s Oversight Board upheld Facebook’s decision to suspend him. Now, the only way Trump can return is if Facebook decides to give him the go-ahead. Hours after the independent Oversight Board announced its decision, Trump issued a statement calling the actions by Facebook, Twitter and Google “a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our country....

The New York Times reported last week that negotiators were nearing a deal that is expected to set a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops and to set up direct talks between the Taliban and Afghan officials over the future direction of the country.

Trump, who has opposed NATO policies for a long time and even discussed pulling the U.S. out of the military alliance, claimed in his new remarks that “there would be no NATO” without him. “I hope everyone is able to remember that it was me, as President of the United States, that got delinquent NATO members to start paying their dues, which amounted to hundreds of billions of dollars. There would be no NATO if I didn’t act strongly and swiftly....

Tiffany Trump will marry businessman Michael Boulos at her father’s Mar-a-Lago resort in the Sunshine State, just days after midterm elections where high-profile Trump-endorsed candidates such as Dr. Mehmet Oz performed poorly. The 29-year-old Tiffany was photographed at her wedding rehearsal at Mar-a-Lago on Friday as the former president practiced walking his daughter down the aisle to her awaiting fiancé. Trump shared his thoughts on the wedding on his Truth Social platform overnight, writing: “My wonderful daughter Tiffany will be getting Married today at Mar-a-Lago....

By donating frequent flyer miles, Miles4migrant, the group that started the campaign, wanted to show support for the people fleeing Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover in mid-August. Individuals alone have donated enough credit card points to cover 20,000 flights, according to Miles4Migrants and Welcome.US, a nonprofit collection generating private-sector support for Afghan arrivals. “Government resources are limited, and we knew that the American people wanted to support Afghans who were arriving and help them find safe homes,” said the group’s co-founder, Andy Freedman....

Since that memorable 2002 World Cup, Donovan has competed in two more tournaments and stands on the verge of playing in his fourth World Cup this summer in Brazil. His role on the U.S. national team has changed dramatically through those tournaments. He has gone from a promising young prospect in 2002 to the team’s biggest star in 2006 to goal-scoring hero in 2010. His role for the 2014 World Cup won't carry as much responsibility as in past tournaments....

Landon Donovan is choosing a different path. He most definitely does not suck. Whereas Brady said on the radio, “I don’t plan on sucking for a long time,” Donovan has decided that he won’t, ever. He is leaving while he still is a star. He was robbed of the chance to prove he is capable of world-stage excellence when coach Jurgen Klinsmann left him off the United States roster for the 2014 World Cup, but Donovan continues to demonstrate he is among the very best of the league he has called home for the better part of his professional career, MLS....
