Trump Hits Bad Turbulence On Air Force One And Jokes How It Will Be Perceived

Posted on 31/10/2025 by Boris Clair

President Donald Trump on Thursday joked aboard a trembling Air Force One how the bad turbulence would be interpreted. (Watch the video below.)

In an interview with reporters on the flight home from his Asia trip, Trump noted the rough conditions as he steadied himself in a doorway.

“You know, they’re going to be watching Trump, they’re going to say, ‘He didn’t look too good, he’s got the shakes!’ I didn’t have the shakes but people are gonna think I do,” he said.

The president kept the mood light in the moment. He asked if everyone was OK and noted how “we’re gonna look real bad today on television.”

But back on the ground, Trump is facing real concerns over his health.

Trump said he aced recent cognitive tests, which he characterised as “aptitude tests.”

Trump Dodges Sensitive Question In Front Of Chinese President

Posted on 30/10/2025 by Boris Clair

US President Donald Trump didn’t answer a reporter’s question Thursday about the US resuming nuclear testing, and perhaps it had to do with the company he was keeping. (Watch the video below.)

But given that Trump had just announced on X before the meeting that the US would restart nuclear weapons testing for the first time in 33 years, claiming in part it was because of China’s testing, the subject came up.

“Mr. President, why did you change your nuclear plans?” a reporter asked. “Why are you gonna be doing more nuclear testing?”

Trump replied, “Thank you very much, everybody. Appreciate it.”

Trump’s nuke declaration was likely timed as a message to Xi before their conference, so perhaps the president figured he had already made his point without fielding the question.

On Air Force One later, Trump elaborated on the country’s motives.

“With others doing testing, I think it’s appropriate that we do also,” Trump said, noting that the test sites would be decided later.

Tensions Between US And Russia Deepen As Trump’s Treasury Secretary Hits Out At ‘Propagandist’ Envoy

Posted on 27/10/2025 by Boris Clair

Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary Scott Bessent hit out at the Kremlin after a Russian envoy tried to dismiss the impact of the US’s new sanctions on Moscow.

The White House implemented fresh sanctions against Russia for the first time last week, punishing its oil companies in the hope of pushing Vladimir Putin to end his war in Ukraine.

In a move much welcomed by his European allies who have also increased economic pressure on Moscow, Trump froze all US-based assets of Russia’s two largest oil firms – Rosneft and Lukoil.

The US also made it possible for secondary penalties on foreign institutions which could conduct transactions with entities on the blacklist.

It was a surprising move from the US president, considering he has often expressed sympathy for the Russian invasion of Ukraine even while calling for peace in the region.

US plans for a high-level summit with Putin in Budapest also broke down recently, and Trump has insisted he would not meet with Putin unless there was a clear plan for peace.

But Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev – who plays a key part in the diplomacy between Moscow and Washington – told the US media that the new sanctions would not have much of an effect.

The head of the Russian Direct Investment Funds insisted: “No pressure works on Russia.”

So Bessent furiously hit back in an interview with CBS News on Sunday, saying: “Are you really going to publish what a Russian propagandist says?

“I mean, what else is he going to say?

“The Russian economy is a wartime economy. Growth is virtually zero.”

Bessent claimed the US can make a “substantial debt” in Putin’s profits and therefore impact his war machine.

When the new penalties were first announced last week, the Russian president described them as an “unfriendly act” – and said Moscow would not give in to economic pressure.

Russia continued to launch fresh missile and drone attacks across Ukraine over the weekend, too.

Putin claimed to have sucessfully tested a new nuclear-powered cruise missile on Sunday, too.

Meanwhile, news agency Reuters has recently reported that the Trump administration is already thinking about further sanctions unless Putin engages with peace talks.

The US president said Putin should focus on ending the war in Ukraine instead of testing a new nuclear-powered missile.

He said: “They know we have a nuclear submarine, the greatest in the world, right off their shores, so I mean, it doesn’t have to go 8,000 miles.”

Trump added: “I don’t think it’s an appropriate thing for Putin to be saying, either, by the way: You ought to get the war ended, the war that should have taken one week is now in … its fourth year, that’s what you ought to do instead of testing missiles.”

Trump Reportedly Wants Name Of New Ballroom To Honour His Favourite Person In The World

Posted on 25/10/2025 by Boris Clair

Donald Trump has reportedly picked a name for the new ballroom that will replace the East Wing of the White House, and it’s a true measure of his humility.

Katherine Faulders, ABC’s managing editor in Washington, posted on social media Friday that “Trump will likely name the new $300 million ballroom after himself,” and cited senior administration officials as her source.

“Already, officials are referring to it as “The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom” and that name will likely stick,” she added.

When reached for comment, White House Spokesman Davis Ingle told HuffPost: “Any announcement made on the name of the ballroom will come directly from President Trump himself, and not through anonymous and unnamed sources.”

Some people thought another person near and dear to Trump would be a better name on the ballroom.

Others speculated on what might happen to the ballroom after Trump leaves office.

‘He’s Gonna Have A Meltdown’: Internet Reacts After Donald Trump Fails To Win Nobel Peace Prize

Posted on 10/10/2025 by Boris Clair

Donald Trump has been passed over for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, despite mounting a not-so-subtle campaign to receive it.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado was given the award by the Nobel committee on Friday.

In a post on X, the Nobel organisers said: “Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence.

“Maria Corina Machado has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people. The Venezuelan regime’s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation.

“In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair.”

Their remarks have been interpreted by some as an indirect criticism of Trump, who has been accused of authoritarianism over his legal pursuit of his political enemies.

While the world waits for Trump’s own reaction to being snubbed, the internet reacted as you’d expect.

The announcement came a day after Israel and Hamas agreed to Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, which led to increased speculation that the US president could scoop the prize.

However, that was never a real possibility as nominations to the Nobel committee closed on January 31, just days after Trump returned to the White House.

Nevertheless, it is understood he was among the nominees for his work on the Abraham Accords, which normalised relations between Israel and Arab states, during his first term in office.

Trump also thought he was in with a chance, saying on Thursday: “I don’t know what they’re going to do, really. But I know this, that nobody in history has solved eight wars in a period of nine months.”

Asked about Trump’s campaigning following the announcement, Juergen Warne Frydnes of the Nobel Committee said: “In the long history of the Nobel Peace Prize I think this committee has seen any type of campaign, media attention and we receive thousands of letters every year, from people wanting to say what to them means peace.

“This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates and that room is filled with courage and integrity. We base our decision only on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel.”

Vladimir Putin seems to have resorted to childish tactics to hit back at Donald Trump after the US president turned on Russia last week.

Until recently, Trump tried repeatedly to force Moscow to end its war in Ukraine through flattery, even offering up a peace deal on Putin’s terms – and suggesting Ukraine should give up its sovereign land.

But, after months of failed attempts at negotiations, Trump blasted Russia and unexpectedly claimed Ukraine could win the conflict instead.

The US president even called Russia a “paper tiger” – a seemingly powerful entity who is actually ineffective – last week.

Now Putin has responded by simply turning the insult back on Nato, and insisting the defence alliance is the real “paper tiger.”

Speaking on Thursday, he said: “A paper tiger. What follows then? Go and deal with this paper tiger.

“Well, if we are fighting with the entire Nato bloc, we are moving, advancing, and we feel confident, and we are a ‘paper tiger’, then what is Nato itself?”

According to Reuters news agency, he insisted his forces were advancing along the entire warfront in Ukraine – and alleged that almost all of the US-led Nato alliance was now fighting against Moscow.

He also issued a stern warning to the US over the possibility that Trump might give Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, something the White House is yet to confirm.

Putin claimed: “It is impossible to use Tomahawks without the direct participation of American military personnel.

“This will mean a completely new, qualitatively new stage of escalation, including in relations between Russia and the United States.”

But Putin had a flippant response to European claims he had launched drone incursions over Poland and fighter jets over Estonia.

He said: “I won’t do it anymore – to France, Denmark, Copenhagen, Lisbon – wherever they could reach.”

He claimed the most recent accusations that Russian drones had flown over Denmark were parts of Nato efforts to “inflame tensions to boost defence spending”.

Europe is taking these provocations much more seriously, though.

Polish prime minister Donald Tusk said “this is war” on Thursday, and called on Nato to abandon “illusions” and confront a “new type of war”.

The EU has also launched a drone wall initiative to boost its eastern flanks amid fears Putin is testing the bloc’s defences.

But Putin still insisted alleged plans of Russia trying to attack a Nato member were “impossible to believe” on Thursday.

“I just want to say: cool down, sleep calmly, and take care of your own problems. Just take a look at what’s happening on the streets of European cities,” he claimed.

But – in typical Kremlin fashion – he added: “If anyone still has a desire to compete with us in the military sphere, as we say, feel free, let them try. Russia’s countermeasures will not be long in coming.

Putin often falsely portrays his Ukraine invasion as something he was forced into by Nato’s expansion eastwards, rather than the land grab the West believes it to be.
