President Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday, citing her recent criticism of his agenda in a notable rupture between Trump and one of his most outspoken congressional allies.
"I am withdrawing my support and endorsement of 'Congresswoman' Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the great state of Georgia," Trump posted on Truth Social late on Friday.
Greene accused Trump of trying to intimidate other Republicans ahead of a vote next week on releasing the Epstein files, calling it "astonishing really how hard he's fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level."
The call warning of a dangerous tide of extremism in Donald Trump's Washington is coming from inside the house -- the vice president's house. read more
These days, the tech world is obsessed with humanoid robots, and every company worth its salt is racing to develop its own bipedal droid that it can push to market. Unfortunately, a lot of these robots don't seem to work very well yet. Case in point: This week, a Russian company unveiled its much-hyped prototype for its humanoid bot, only to have the machine face-plant onstage in front of hundreds of onlookers. The robot in question, AIdol, is the product of a Russian company called Idol, which was presenting at a forum from the New Technology Coalition, which The Telegram describes as an "association of companies for the development of humanoid robots." The bot, described as "Russia's first anthropomorphic robot," unfortunately lost balance, fell down, and broke onstage. Numerous outlets have noted the sad irony that the event was playing music from the Rocky soundtrack when the bot took its tumble.
When President Donald Trump told reporters on Sept. 5 he'd started looking at sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, he said it was because of something he saw on television. He said the city was being destroyed by paid agitators. "What they've done to that place, it's like living in hell," he said, a comment that became an internet meme as some Portland residents juxtaposed it with tranquil images of the city. The evening before, on Sept. 4, Fox News aired a two-and-a-half-minute segment spotlighting protests outside a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Portland. Similar footage aired the morning of Trump's remarks. The president went on to announce Sept. 27 on Truth Social that he would send troops, saying that he was "authorizing Full Force, if necessary." He later said he'd told Oregon's governor, Tina Kotek, that "unless they're playing false tapes, this looked like World War II. Your place is burning down." read more
The Trump administration on Thursday said import taxes on coffee and bananas will be lowered as part of trade deals with four Latin American countries.
The agreements with Argentina, Guatemala, El Salvador and Ecuador come as US President Donald Trump faces scrutiny over his handling of the economy and concerns about affordability.
As part of an initial framework, a reciprocal tariff of 10% will stay on goods from Guatemala, Argentina and El Salvador, as will a 15% tax on imports from Ecuador into the US. But the deals will exempt products that cannot be produced in the US "in sufficient quantities," such as coffee.
The US-Argentina deal also addresses beef producers' access to foreign markets.
When the president announced his reciprocal tariffs this spring, his economic team insisted there would be no exemptions to the levies.
Team dotard surrenders again.
